Boko Haram Disowns Fg Panel And Threatens More Attacks If :

Written by Chris Agbambu and Isaac Shobayo Wednesday, 28 September 2011

THE Boko Haram sect, on Tuesday, vowed to continue its attacks until its demands are met.

In an apparent reaction to the report submitted to the Federal Government by the Ambassador Gaji Galtimari-led committee, which called for dialogue and negotiation with the group, the spokesman of the group, Abu Qaqa, in a telephone interview with newsmen in Maiduguri, distanced the group from the report and vowed to continue the attacks until their earlier demands were met.

The Galtimari committee submitted its report to government on Monday, with recommendations aimed at putting a stop to the spate of bombings and killings being perpetrated by the sect in the country.

The Boko Haram spokesperson said that the group was not satisfied with the members of the ''so-called committee'' and that those who were advising the Federal Government to involve the Sultan of Sokoto and some emirs in the North-East were doing so at their own peril. According to him, the group regarded the Sultan as government official and not the leader of the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria.

Their demands, according to the spokesman, include severe punishment for those who extra-judicially killed their leader, Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf and other members of the sect in the July 2009 uprising, reconstruction of their places of worship, which were destroyed by security agencies in Maiduguri and other states of the federation, immediate release of all their members, who were detained, while appropriate compensation must be paid to them for all their properties destroyed by security agencies in the country..Meanwhile, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant-General Azubuike Ihejirika, has revealed that some foreign countries are in league with members of the deadly Islamic sect, Boko Haram  and are providing them with facilities for terror.Although the army chief did not name the foreign countries involved, he said Boko Haram members received funding and training from such nations.

General Ihejirika made the revelation on Tuesday, while fielding questions from newsmen at the Chief of Army Staff Third Quarter Conference 2011, at the Army Headquarters Command, Officers’ Mess, Abuja.

He added that the sophistication of the arms, equipment and other instruments of terror recovered from arrested suspects of the deadly sect also bore testimony to their foreign links.

Asked to confirm if ousted Libyan president, Muammer Gaddafi’s s men had entered the country, General Ihejirika said he had not got any definite report on such and, as such, could not confirm the claim.

The army chief, however, stressed that the military would live up to its responsibilities and cooperate with other security agencies to checkmate the sect and ensure the safety of Nigerians.

On the release of the Boko Haram suspect, Ali Tishau, by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), the army boss said the police and the agencies involved were in a better position to address the issue, but he assured that the army would ensure that the menace of the Boko Haram was brought to an end.

He said it was in recognition of this behaviour among their personnel and the urgent need to bring it to a stop that the Chief of Army Staff agreed that they should conduct an appraisal of their performance in internal operations, with a view to improving the current standard.

Meanwhile, there was a revelation at the venue of the court martial of Brigadier-General Muraina Raji of how the Boko Haram suspects escaped from Wetland detention in Bauchi by a witness, Lance Coporal Abu Ali, a soldier on guard on the day of the escape.

When the court-martial finally took off on Monday, the first witness, Lance Corporal Ali, narrated how the escape happened.He said when the second soldier on guard duty went to eat, one of the detainees requested for water, adding that he went to fetch the water and left his rifle on the floor to open the cell and, at that point, the detainee shouted Allahu Akbar and attacked him.According to him, the other detainee came out of another cell and both of them swooped on him and locked him in the cell. As he went on, the prosecutor objected to the evidence, but the court overruled the objection.The court fixed today for the final written address of the defence, as the prosecution presented its address on Tuesday.

Na wa o for this people o

More lives to go. Our government continues to fold hands as bombs go off

Let them give them what they want ke, And put an end to this

that security man surely has more to say. Didnt they lock the cell? Is it his duty to fetch water for the prisoner?
Does a soldier leave his rifle with a prisoner for any purpose? On trust? Lmbhao.
They locked him in the cell, meaning the lock was not even destroyed , it was unlocked for them, who then gave them the key?
That young soldier has finished his carrier trying to help Buhari.

It is time for the NIGER DELTA MILITANTS and MOSSOB to act.

How foolish it is for the federal govt to negotiate with terrorists.

The end of Nigeria is near.

Boko haram is the anti-christ we have been expecting and the government are their agents. Quote me

hmmm naija, our leaders will continue to watch since none of them nor their family has been victim of boko haram

I can smell war, Niger-Delta militants vs Boko Haram.

The FG should give them nothing.

@Topic

This is how blackmail terrorism works.

Terrorists make demands; government meets demands, terrorists use government benevolence to recruit more members more weapons, and territories.
Terrorists make more demands; government meets more demands; terrorist improved the networks, and legitimacy

Terrorist makes more demands; government say no; then Kaboom! Kaboom! Gbosa! Gbosa!! Government looks helpless and confused having fed terrorists fat.

The best response to give the boko haram savages is bullets, hot leads!

Crazy islamists!may d earth swallow y'all,insha allah.

No surrender nor retreat.

No cause 4 alarm. If dis is jst wat dey need, den it shld b grantd. I was in maiduguri during d crises. D prblm wit d military is once a bomb detonates in a certain street, dey wil cme in2 d street, storm peoples houses, shoot any youth dey cme across, rape d young ladies nd their mums. Is dis fair? Afta sme days d soldierz strd dyeing miraculously. I was walkin nd i saw one army wit a gun, suddenly he jst fel dwn nd died without anybdy touchng hm nor shootin hm. D fg shld jst review dis demands nd grant d ones dey can so peace can be bck in nija.

Their demands are attainable and realistic anyway. The government should just cooperate

This is what we get when we negotiate with terrorists. The government has done it before (Amnesty for MEND) so the reasoning is that they can do it again.

I didnt see any of these two demands in the text above

if government should compensate these rogues,then the families of those they've killed most be compensated as well.i'm wondering why we'r still prolonging this issue,division is the best head way outa  this sh*t,believe me if we decide to go our seperate ways this sh*t will be brought to an abrupt end.Sudan experienced more than what we'r experiencing now,but they took a bold decision and now they'r living peacefully.why can't we also take this decision as well,afterall we'r all matured to take care of ourselves without depending on one region.
 peace and unity as acclaimed by some people for this country are nothing but a mirage.we NIGERIANS we hate ourselves lets not pretend.we'r too tribalised you don't need a soothsayer to tell you this,go out to the streets you'll see what i'm telling you.lets not pretend as if we'r peace loving country cus we'r not.if we'r why can't the the acclaimed peace be displayed among ourselves?

The 2nd answers d 1st

Am a firm believer of dis nation. †ђξ govt made a mistake of negotiating with any terrorist group. Sumtimes ¶ wonder how difficult it is for †ђξ govt to take down dis pple, den ¶ realize dat dose behind †ђξ masterminding of dis act r top men within †ђξ govt. N jst for †ђξ record †ђξ fg is nt folding its hands. We must support †ђξ fg against dis terrorists n nt take proud in criticizin her for †ђξ sake of criticism. Let rally round wit our govt like †ђξ Americans did in 9/11 to fight against terrorism.

The undertone of support from some 'powers behind the scene' is becoming apparent day in day out, If  diplomatic resolution will be required to make peace in the country,the govt should not hesitate to apply it and resolve the boko haram issue asap

Wat a miscalculated operand for political hack! if that is d aim of boko haram founders up north, then i suggest they start tinkin of PLAN- B, because Goodluck will nt yield to their demands. Imagine these blood suckin northern politicos tryin to score cheap political points. Let them pop up more bombs! The bubble will soon burst!!!

There is a reason why the US has a policy of NOT negotiating with Terrorists. I hope we don't get to learn why the hard way.

Well, God will help us to over come this challenge.
