Boko Haram Releases Photos Of Rocket-Making Factory


Boko Haram terrorists unveiled the shocking photos in what seems to be the answer to the Nigerian Army report on the 100 most wanted members of the sect.

The deadly group that killed hundreds of Nigerians and made thousands to leave their homes unveiled photos of its rocket-making factory.

Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff, has on October 28, launched the circulation of large posters carrying photographs of wanted Boko Haram insurgents including the alleged leader of the insurgents, Abubakar Shekau.

The army also said it has freed 200 girls and 93 women from the Sambisa forest, the notorious stronghold of the insurgents.

During the last months Nigerian Armed Forces have taken back most of the territory previously under the control of Boko Haram.

In March this year, Boko Haram pledged its loyalty to Islamic State militants and their caliphate stretched across Iraq and Syria.

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to halt the sect by December. Nigeria’s homegrown extremist group has responded with a relentless campaign of suicide bombings.

Check out photos from the factory below:

Not convincing. At best they look like the crudest form of rockets. Nothing fantastic or scary about this.

Employ counter battery to ascertain launch positions and God bless there's an armed drone over the sky at launching, they'll be replied back with instant gnashing of teeth and heat.

Am sure this are old pictures taken months back, when BHT were controlling Baga and Bama there was this report of them using the chemistry laboratory of a college of education to make bombs, if it is current pictures then it is probably not in Nigeria.

And that's why the army or the Defence HQ should be on top of there game when it comes to precounter and counter measures in propaganda news,video and media. BH is only doing these to strike fear and not.letting the citizens to trust the army that they are not doing there job!

This is how it starts, with nothing more then just pathetic small Amateurish looking rockets and if they are giving enough time, they'll be producing Hamas style kind of Rockets, and with the designs of Hamas Rockets easily available online I'm just hoping that these tiny rockets are where it will end.

I wouldn't really down play something like this, it reminds me of when B.H began 6years ago everyone thought nothing of them, or that they would turn into such a formidable... I pray that N.A is sending S.F units to hunt down such weapons and their creators.

Of course mate; I trust Gen Buratai's leadership that they will act swiftly and verify the authenticity and how recent the video his ? And location and if they still have these in there arsenal. But my point is the military should also step up there game in down playing BH propaganda, because that's what the content of the pictures is trying to do, to show the world they are strong and deadly even when they are almost crushed!
My point is whenever such content is in media or circulation the military should counter it with substantial and verifiable propaganda too.

For that reason they need to suppress this group rapidly to the point where they can't even compile scraps.

The whole escalation to this point is due to the Nigerian way of doing stuff. Counter battery is now a must to reply rockets attack with artillery or if in the battlefield, relay to the CAS team for response.

I agree to SF style raids but knowing limited intelligence capacity, it won't be the easiest to spot... Nigerian government does not understand the word 'urgency'

1; for now I don't think the NA or armed forces has time for standardization, cos right now the focus is on crushing and ending BH for now. It's when BH is silenced then they can start talking of standardization of uniforms,eguipment and hardware. But I can assure you they are working towards that. Then the federal government has to do is own part by supporting them financially and other support.

2; people.are tired of rumours but I can assure that the NAF is acquiring 4th generational jet. But I can only say on two jets " CAC/PAC JF 17 and SU Frogfoot . But let's keep our fingers crossed!

3;on your 3rd question I can't really say the reason for that?

4;Nop the NAF L-39 are not per-taking in CTCION ; only the alphas and j7. They are used for training airforce personnels.

Hello, do you think this Boko Haram rockets pose a serious threat to Nigeria military or Nigeria at large, I mean they could stand from 10km to 20km and fire it.
Do Nigeria have a platform to counter this threat like Iron Dome or any other "Dome"?

we do have anti aircraft defense but despite the fact that it is obsolete and have been decommissioned in every modern military. It cannot defend against low flying rockets. At best the only defense against this Rockets would be a prompt military intervention or fasting and prayer.

Those rocket you see in those pictures do not poses a 1km range talk less of 10-20km and how precise they are to hit any given target! Never the less it's still a threat and the Nigeria military is not folding it's hand.
BH intention is to strike fear, and that's why they are releasing those pictures to the media/press. That's there main purpose, till now they Avent being used against NA troops or MNJTF.

Yeah, talking of precision everyone knows it is lacking in that area, but everyone know say to this Boko boys anywhere wey the rocket hit na win-win. They no mind whether it hits women and children or other innocent civilians. The best thing NA can do is to locate those rockets and destroy them instantly.

And the Israelis always reply back to source with pinpoint accuracy. No longer a huge problem with the use of patriot batteries.
I still stand firm this are useless as the terrorists don't hold any proximal space close to maiduguri or civilian populations to launch this very limited range rockets. This are one third or 2/3 the size of qassams by the way.

Best they can do is to use when launching their theft runs or if the army is advancing against them. The latter would mean close air support or spotters to find out launch coordinates.

Nigerian Military Releases 182 Boko Haram Prisoners


Nigerian Army has released 182 Boko Haram suspects from Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri, Borno state.
Army Spokesman, Colonel SK Usman, revealed that the “joint intelligence community investigated and authorized” the release of these prisoners. He added that the release was part of Nigeria’s National Army
Day, which was held on July 6th to commemorate the first shots of Nigeria’s Civil War at Garaken, Cross Rivers State.

The prisoners were reportedly released to the governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima.
According to Sahara reporters, 40 boys, 24 women, 100 adult men and 18 children were among those released today.
In addition to the prisoner release, Colonel Usman said that the Army was celebrating the opening of a new military center, providing two days of free medical treatment for Borno State residents, and awarding Purple Heart and Operation Zaman Lafiya medals to soldiers fighting Boko Haram. All these events were tied to Nigeria’s National Army Day.
Meanwhile, the military had confirmed that more people detained for alleged links with the Boko Haram sect will be released after being cleared by its joint intelligence cell.
Sometimes last month, the Nigerian army handed over four foreigners and 124 Nigerians detained in connection with the Boko Haram terrorist group to Kashim Shettima, the governor of Borno state.

For Next Phase of Terror War, FG Orders Intelligence Gathering Equipment


As part of efforts to urgently tackle the lingering insurgency in the North-east, the federal government has ordered more sophisticated intelligence-gathering equipment for the Nigerian armed forces, as well as intelligence agencies, THISDAY has learnt.

Also monday, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, assured Nigerians that Nigerian military was on course in its campaign against Boko Haram terrorists despite the difficult terrain and other challenges.

Nigerian military strategists and counter-terrorism planners are said to be redefining their operations for a more timely, information driven and actionable intelligence strategy. This prompted the order for the purchase of modern intelligence-gathering gadgets, as well as building the capacity of the personnel at all levels.

According to a highly placed intelligence source, there is a shift in strategy and serious attention is being given to the intelligence agencies which is reflected in most of the recent gains recorded, including arrests of several kidnappers, terrorist kingpins and other criminal elements.

It was further revealed that the ‘Operation Safe Corridor’ initiated and led by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) is part of this shift in strategy, which, according to sources, had been effective in the campaign against Boko Haram terrorists.

A senior military officer informed THISDAY that the DIA had developed an effective strategy for tracking Boko Haram, and had been supplying actionable and timely intelligence to the air and land forces.

“The president, as I am talking to you is putting a lot of efforts to build up effective intelligence capacity as more sophisticated equipment and gadgets are being ordered. We have improved our human intelligence as I speak and it’s very effective and what we need to complete it is the more advanced intelligence facilities, which you know of course we have to order and the president has done that. I can therefore assure you that things will improve tremendously because what we met on ground was very backward.

“So what we are building is a modern type of intelligence network and capacity that after this crisis, any future attempt to re-invent these terrorist groups can always be nipped in the bud. This was not possible in the past because we did not prepare for this type of crisis. So the DIA, police, Department of State Services (DSS) and other intelligence bodies are working day and night to ensure that they supply critical intelligence to the fighting and enforcement forces,” the source said.

In addition, the Nigerian military is said to have developed a sophisticated intelligence network with neighbouring countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LBCBC) to the extent that the Boko Haram insurgents are being cornered on all sides of the border.

“I can tell you that the information network between us — Chad, Cameroun and Niger Republic — is water-tight,” the source said.

According to him, the intelligence network “is so effective that we all know exactly where they are and as well as their movements and are on course to meeting the presidential mandate to end Boko Haram deadly exploits on Nigerian soil”.

“What we are even doing right now is a blockade to achieve the mandated deadline. Also let me make it clear that the president did not say we must end terrorism by December. What he said clearly is that in three months’ time, we must deny them any access to our territory. Terrorism is not something that you just end like that,” the officer explained.

He further revealed that the military and intelligence agencies were on the verge of perfecting their capacity to detect any Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) right from a distance before it could actually reach its targets.

“So the intelligence agencies are working round the clock and the next stage is building capacity for advanced intelligence and to acquire the right kind of equipment which the president has ordered.

“I want to let you know that with the arrival of these advanced gadgets and improved capacity, very soon, we will have in place enough capacity to detect even IEDs from a distance,” the source revealed.

Military analysts believe that the latest order shows the preparedness of the government for a new phase in its counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency (CT COIN) operations in the country.

Buratai in a chat with THISDAY yesterday said Nigerian troops were not deterred by the terrorists change of tactics including the use of girl-child suicide bombers and proliferation of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in parts of the North-east.

He said that the Nigerian Army had recovered a lot of territories and IED-making factories from the terrorists.

“Our troops are in action with more IED factories discovered, IED materials and challenging terrain. This is still not deterring the troops’ push,” he said.

He recalled that sometime in October, “a suicide bomber tried to infiltrate into our location, but was accosted by our troops in collaboration with local vigilantes.

“She immediately on sighting the troops and vigilantes triggered off the explosives on her. She instantly scattered into pieces killing a vigilante in the process”.

Also, the Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, in a statement yesterday said that Nigerian troops from 243 Battalion, 5 Brigade Nigerian Army on fighting patrol encountered some suspected elements of Boko Haram insurgents holed up in a primary school in Duwabafi village, Borno State, on Sunday.

Usman said that there was heavy exchange of gunfire in which the patrol killed four of the suspected terrorists, recovered two AK-47 rifles, four various sizes of solar energy panels, several types of drugs and five motorcycles.

He also said: “The patrol has returned to base and further restrategising for more onslaught on all remaining vestiges of Boko Haram elements within the area.”

Nigerian military had been waging a relentless campaign against Boko Haram, a terror group that has displaced over 2.3 million people since May 2013. The group has also killed more than 17,000 people since 2009, including over 10,000 in 2014 alone.

The terror group has also carried out mass abductions including almost 300 schoolgirls from Chibok, a town in Northeast Nigeria, in April 2014.

In mid-2014, Boko Haram militants gained control of swathes of territory in  three Northeast states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

The insurgents were however expelled by Nigerian troops from a chunk of the territory they occupied in the run up to the last general election. A sustained military campaign has greatly degraded the capability of the group, but it has continued to attack soft targets through suicide bombings.

Recently, Borno State Governor Shettima disclosed that the deadly group still controls two of the state’s local governments.

In another development, findings have revealed how Nigerian intelligence agencies collaborated to track down the leader of the Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

Information had it that Kanu, who is currently in the DSS custody, was tracked down from his base abroad by the combined efforts of NIA, DIA, DSS and other related agencies, with his movement and communications monitored until he was lured back to Nigeria where he was arrested.

A source said: “You can see how we collaborated to arrest Nnamdi Kanu, the Biafran boy. It was a highly coordinated and collaborative efforts to track him right from abroad. We monitored and followed his movement including who he was communicating with and where he was going to until we nabbed him.”
