Boko Haram recaptures Marte in
Borno

The Boko Haram terrorist group on
Friday recaptured Marte, a border
town in the northern part of Borno
State.
Security sources said members of the
terrorist group, who fled Sambisa
forest, had now regrouped in Marte.
Borno State Deputy Governor, Alhaji
Zannah Mustapha, also confirmed the
recapture of the town by Boko Haram
terrorists during a press conference in
Maiduguri.
“It is sad as we have been made to
understand that Marte is today (Friday)
completely fallen under the control of
the insurgents, which to us is a very
huge setback,” he said.
Mustapha raised the alarm that 600
women and girls had been dispatched
by the terrorists as suicide bombers
with the aim of causing multiple
explosions in Maiduguri.
The deputy governor urged residents
to be patient with the security
agencies in spite of the attendant
hardships caused by the dusk to dawn
curfew imposed on Maiduguri.
He said, “It is unfortunate that we are
experiencing yet another attack in
Maiduguri at this time that we are
thinking that the insurgency should
have subsided following the taking
over of Sambisa forest by the military.
“Our thinking was that every other
place should have been blocked so
that the insurgency would be curtailed
to a restricted area, but that has not
been the case because the insurgents
have been fleeing to other
communities.
“Initially, we were opposed to the
suggestion by the military, but when
we received a security report that
about 600 women have been kitted as
suicide bombers and are to be
sneaked into Maiduguri during the
attack, couple with the gory pictures of
some of the women who detonated
themselves during the attacks, we had
no option than to okay the curfew.
“But the curfew has been relaxed from
noon to about 5pm to ease the
hardship and afterwards it may be
reviewed. Our government is going to
do everything possible by supporting
the military to ensure that Maiduguri
and other parts of Borno State are not
attacked or taken over by the
insurgents.”
The capture of Marte happened as
soldiers sustained the 24-hour curfew
imposed on Maiduguri, the Borno state
capital on Thursday after Boko Haram
terrorists attempted an invasion of the
city on Wednesday night.

Shame. Huge shame.

It's so unfortunate.

Anyway, we now have m@gician Buhari who angrily waved the issue of boko haram with just a hand in an interview when elections were postponed.

In his words, "Libya and Somali conducted elections during wars, what is Boko haram"

Why some people think throught a part of the posterior opening in their anatomy is a question for another day!!!

Is Baba the president? Does he have any power to effect any change at the moment??

I do hope you will let go of this deep seated angst&hope like other well meaning Nigerians that every measure the new govt will employ to curb the BH menace will be effective.

Last word; Buhari isn't Jonathan,by the grace of God, through sheer force of will and a well motivated armed forces, we will surely end this insurgency.

This is a very sad news!

Too bad. All the same these militants we see now, we will see no more. God dey
