Fire For Fire : Ex- Militants Challange Boko Haram


A BATTLE line appears to be emerging between the dreaded sect, Boko Haram, and ex-militants of the Niger Delta, following the state of insecurity in the nation as the ex-militants has vowed to storm Borno State in search of members of the Islamic sect.

Leader of a group of 6,166 ex-militants, Abubakar Sylvester Oyas Tambo, popularly known as Aso Tambo, told The Guardian in an interview, that the group will soon storm Borno and other hideouts of Boko Haram in order to put an end to their threats on government and the nation at large.

Tambo, the national chairman of the Coalition of Niger Delta ex-Militants Leaders, under the Presidential Amnesty phase two, is from Ekeremo in Bayelsa State and was the leader of the group of more than 2,000 ex–militants that stormed the FCT on July 7th, 2010 in over 60 buses.

He viewed the current state of insecurity as posed by Boko Haram as a fight against Jonathan’s administration and vowed to quench it. “It is because of the innocent ones dying in these bomb blasts that we are taking this step and we will not allow the unchecked activities of Boko Haram to destabilize Jonathan’s administration.”

He, however, absolved the president and the Amnesty office from knowledge of the group’s plan to attack the sect.

Tambo, who called on Northern leaders, to call members of the Boko Haram sect to order, or have both groups clash, urged the federal government to steer clear of the clashes that will soon ensue. According to him, the attack on innocent citizens by Boko Haram was not a mere fight against the government and the entire nation, but against the government of a Niger Delta-led government.

He called on Boko Haram to stop the cowardly act of hiding among innocent Nigerians to fight but that they should come out to the open, set up bases from where they could be engaged, rather than stay in places where innocent Nigerians can easily fall victim of crossfire.

Meanwhile, speaking recently at a public lecture organised by the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), Prof. Muhammed Ladan, from the Faculty of Law at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), said the government would have to tackle the reasons for youths’ adoption of violence and terrorism before the menace of insecurity could be contained.

Ladan, who was the guest lecturer at the event, noted that the solution to terrorism in Nigeria was not in the use of military force alone, but combination of human capital empowerment and military might.

To buttress his point, Ladan noted that about 12.2 million educated Nigerian youths were unemployed; among them are those who have embraced terrorism and violence. “The government will have to understand how these extremist youths, especially the Boko Haram, have grown in sophistication before terrorism can be stamped out,” he said.

He added that there should be thorough investigations and the sharing of intelligence on previous bombing in order to prevent crime, rather than making hurried arrests and name mentioning. According to him, the bombing of the UN House could have been prevented if information on previous attacks had been shared.

However, Director General of IPCR, Dr. Joseph Golwa, said the inability to satisfactorily resolve high profile cases has a disproportionate impact on both local and international perception of the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. He added that the nation’s criminal justice system must be able to punish criminals and terrorists who have perfected the art of using bombs to kill and maim innocent people at will.

These ex-mend guys must be joking, here are what they wld achieve if they embark on their senseless adventure
1. Ignite an un-needed war
2. Get themselves wiped out (killed)

So they actually think that it is the typical backwards hausa/fulani abokis that are behind BH? Safe journey.

I guess their motive is to go & help their broda Jona to solve an issue he is unable to tackle! Talk of eye service! Shior!

What deathwish?

When your enemies weapons are
1. hand held grenade
2. improvised explosives
3. suicide bombers

and your weapons are

1. submitted to the government's 'amnesia' program,

For all the silly ND and there corrupt militias.I hope when you go there on another mans land to wage war thats has nothing to do with you,Then you should have no qualms if they also export same violence across into the ND!Did i hear you say then we would wipe all Northern people in the ND.That then gets all encompassing and surely alot more get involved in the North and puff the southerners up north get a serious taste.
You see to actualize this they need to first pull out the entire southerners up north and then build a fence after ensuring every Northerner or Cell is pushed back to the north. undecided undecided undecided undecided
When the ND militants had there own,remind us which group was it that went down south into the creeks to fight them?Nonsense people.Spoil corrupt kidnappers and useless minded people with zero manners.Anyway i wish them well and alot more than cheap talk.So we finally get to the bridge. wink wink wink
If not wetin concern you with FG matter and another man state matter.Why don't you mind your own business.Abi MEND now is police and army in this country.The sad thing is where is the SSS.For someone like this to come out and threaten violating the laws of the land in the open yet nothing happens tells alot about the weakness and daftness of our security. angry angry angry

Fool, do you think you are acting The Expendables in Nigeria?

Who told this idiot that these people are only in Borno?

Tambo, you brain-dead ex-millitant, you pull that move and you set the whole Nigerian nation on fire.

This is not an action movie, so slow your roll.

What a fool!

Pls tell me what they are fightn for coz i dont get it, coz i dont see how bombing universities in d south relate to their cause which is islamization of the north, i wish religion never existed, no thanks to zoroaster, :/

Very good threat but a very stupid idea by an anarchist. I dont think any other idea, if implemented by the idle mind who mooted it, could break nigeria much faster. If they are so stupid to go after boko haram, it would only make all the northerners to join boko haram and worse GEJ might be even be overthrown and the resulting northern headed govt will promptly send the military south south in order to crush ur insurgency. All these would take place within three months. Most of u would have been killed b4 the 4month and ur mothers, wives & sisters raped. These ex-militants are so dump and stupid to throw away all the gains they have acquired from their decade-long agitations. Something the ibos with much more education, intelligence, determination and population have not been to reclaim in four-decade agitation. I wísh them goodluck but i think i owe them one thing: attendance of their joint funerals.

Suicide mission.

These people have no clue of what is driving BH, I swear. They think politics is the same as ideology. BH is not after money, this is the kind of death opportunities that thrills them.

Anyway, MEND let's know the date so we can note when to mark your death anniversaries.

I dey laugh for resource control men
