Can Boko Haram Overrun Abuja? by ScamHunter: 1:49pm On Oct 29, 2022
Saw a video of the US evacuating their citizens from Abuja today.

Hmmmm....it means something huge is about to happen.

Why I like the African mindset is that it is reactive. No one does anything until the calamity comes upon the country.

Whatever attack that's coming will be on a massive scale. My heart goes out to people in Abuja. What I wonder is the capabilities of BH and ISWAP.

Does it mean the security forces were all fixated on IPOB that they had no intel apart from what the Americans issued?

It's beyond mere bombs. I think a real attack by bandits/BH/ISWAP is possible.

Sure they can ...but they can hold and defend their position for long

Over run is easy but holding is hard

But this is asymmetrical warfare. We saw what ISWAP did in Niger Shiroro area unchallenged. Can BH or ISWAP overrun a city with many military formations? I doubt they have the manpower. It's just aimed at terrorizing the citizens I think.

I sincerely doubt that they can overrun Abuja. Those Maiduguri and Yobe campaigns never threatened the military high command so they were generally casual about super camps being overrun. I think with even Aso Rock threatened, they have everything to lose and will put in every fight they have. Every major entry point to the city has a military formation. When you factor in air support from Benue, Kaduna, Niger or Plateau, you'd know that an attack by BH on the city won't succeed unless through massive infantry infiltration and I doubt they have the number to do that.

Let's assume ISWAP has infiltrated the military. There are still Christian soldiers and moderate Muslim soldiers that won't go down for an Islamic state to take over Nigeria.

Tinubu can never be president. The odds favor Obi and Atiku. Tinubu is clearly out of the game.
In reality, he is a stand in for BH and Shettima. Too old, sick and weak to even do anything against an attack on the FCT. Thanks but no thanks. Tinubu is rejected not tenable.

The security forces you are talking about is the same Boko Haram planning attack. Know this know peace.

I just pray Nigerians will eschew tribalism and VOTE WISELY.

You think the Americans would evacuate for nothing? That's doubtful.
