Boko Haram Islamists have raided a town in restive northeast Nigeria, looting food supplies and burning homes after overwhelming troops, residents told AFP on Thursday.The attack late on Wednesday happened in Magumeri, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of the Borno state capital, Maiduguri.



It came after a lull in raids on major towns in the remote region following sweeping military offensives which Nigeria has claimed has severely weakened the jihadists to the point of defeat.Scores of Boko Haram fighters arrived in Magumeri at about 6:30 pm (1730 GMT) in vans, motorcycles and on foot, firing heavy weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, forcing residents to flee.

“They (Boko Haram) broke into shops and homes and took away every food item they came across,” said local resident Kulo Sheriff, who fled the town then returned on Thursday morning.“They set fire to homes and shops as they looted them before heading into the bush hours later.

”Before looting, the fighters attacked a military base and a police station where there was a shoot-out, according to a civilian militia member assisting troops with security.Militants overpowered the security personnel who withdrew, allowing them to loot and burn down the base and the police station, he added.

Nigeria’s military, however, claimed to have repelled the attack and “neutralised quite a number of the attackers”, recovering three vehicles and a “large quantity of arms and ammunition”.Independent verification was not possible given access restrictions for reporters to travel outside Maiduguri without military permission.Either way, the raid indicated that Boko Haram still has the capacity to attack major towns, despite claims it is in disarray since troops flushed them out of their Sambisa Forest stronghold.The number of raids has decreased since the camps were routed last December, although there have been sustained attempts at suicide bombings in Maiduguri.A civilian militia member in the city maintained Boko Haram have been weakened and their attacks were designed to re-stock dwindling food supplies, as supply lines have been cut off.

“Boko Haram are starving in the bush, they live on very little food,” said Babakura Kolo. “They are pushed more by hunger to carry out raids than desire to fight.

”Last month Boko Haram fighters went door-to-door seizing food aid distributed days earlier in Gajiram, some 100 kilometres by road from Magumeri, after a battle with police and soldiers.Boko Haram’s insurgency has triggered a major humanitarian crisis in northeastern Nigeria, where 7.1 million people are “severely food insecure”, according to the UN. Aid agencies say parts of Borno state are suffering from “famine-like conditions”.Poor governance and climate change have also been powerful contributors to the crisis in the region.

Military zone keep off!!!

yeeepa we don reach!

Bokoharam are set of Lunatics, they are suffering from a disease called westernerphobia anything about western life is not welcome in their dictionary, they prefer to live a 7th century life. what a pity

I can remember in 2009 I had an arguement with a potential bokoharam terrorist, I told him that the world cannot thrive without Technology and invention,
and technology and invention cannot be possible without education (boko).
But the blocked head lunatic failed to understand, rather he preferred to attack me with aggressiveness and also tag me as a infidel.

fast forwarded 2012 they came out and show theirselves to the world and their agenda without iota of shame, they started by killing police, government workers, clerics(both muslim and christians clerics)


In 2013 20th ramadan (fasting) around 11:30 pm "I can never forget that day in my life" I came back from school for a short break,
Bokoharam members invade our home about 8 of them, and luckily my dad was not in town, twas me, my mom, my elder sis, and my 2 junior siblings, as of that time there was no network in Borno.
Two of them came through the front entrance putting a mask, with a gun in their hands,
"That time every soul in the state was living in fear", so we were all in the living room talking in low tune, suddenly we heard a knock and we were not expecting any body.
Twas my elder sis that gather the courage and asked who was it, and they told her "ku bude kofan" meaning open the door, she insisted to know who was at the door but it was in vain, and suddenly she made up her mind to open the door, ( in my mind I said what sort of nonsense is these, are you for real to open the door?) I was confused, I was looking for a place to hide, and the first thing that came to my mind was, I was wearing a camouflage threequater trouser, I hurried up and change it.

The lunatics keep on banging the door, then we all make a decision to open it,
I knew that if there would be any casualty it will be me, so I begged my mom for forgiveness and my siblings,

My sister told them to entered through the second entrance, in few minutes they already did, it only remain the last door that is between us, and finally my sis opened it, and they told her to laid down head facing ground, same to the rest of my siblings, remain me and my mom, my mom stepped out and they told her samething, remain only me, as I came out they I just heard my self on group with a very serious pain behind the back of my head, I heard them faintly telling me that I was inside and I aloud my sis to be talking, I just told them I was sorry,


After all these the first question they asked was where is our dad, then my mom answered the he had travelled with his wife, and they asked her who she was, and she is speechless, She didn't knew that they knew her, then one of their boss came in and started yelling, atlast she admitted who she was.

then they asked her why is she encouraging western education after all she knew it was haram, then she told them that she have already resigned day before they came,

I am tired let me cut it short"

atlast her excused worked out for us,

They started unnecessary preaching and lame advice, telling us they are doing it for our own good telling us democracy is not good bla bla bla. we just keep on nodding.

After they left, we found out that our security men fled, and they have a hand in it,

As dawn breaks, I took my bag, I told my mom that we should leave Asap, but she said that she will not because they will think that we ran,

thats how I left them to Abuja direct, after 2 weeks they followed me joined.

Hungry die!

So The once dreaded Boko Haram are now pushed more by hunger to carry out raids than desire to kill and wreck havoc..

How the mighty has fallen....
soon and very soon you guys will all be exterminated

I just hope those people they stole from will be compensated by the government..

I do not think Nigeria can totally eradicate terrorism.. We can just try.. The agents, the intel, the equipments; y'know, stuffs like daht..

am sorry i have to say this..but can nigeria just be separated already from this northern people..

we should just seperate from them once and for all..they should stop tarnishing the name of nigeria

let the government give us a referendum so we can decide..we want our own brexit..

B

And again I say
My people, I'm not trying to hate on anyone but I have to say this. For the 51days Bubu wasn't in the country, we enjoyed relative peace. There was no Fulani herdsmen massacre. There was little or no bokoharam bombing. Just a day to his return, Fulani men gathered momentum and have been causing havoc since then. Boko boys have been killing without mercy. What's going on my people? Bubu should please call these people to order.
In an unrelated news, who's noticed that sarrki is no longer as active here as before? Have they (BMC) not been paid February stipend?

The last time I heard they said they have conquered the terrorist why is it that this APC PARTY is full of scam.....

prospero5:
why do i still have this feeling that boko haram is far from being defeated yet? i wish the Nigerian military will still look out for this fight as if it has just started.

Nothing good comes easy.... Don't worry, with time their wings would be clipped.....

we are more than conquer

prospero5:

NA DEM DEM.....

Boko Haram has been technically defeated*in Lai Mohammed voice*

Technically defeated my foot

Technically depeated.
The Nigerian army claimed a premature victory, displaying a phantom flag for gullible zombies.
Ofcus, BMC agents latched onto it as it is their paid job, trumping up a victory that tasted sour.
Even the US didn't claim victory over Taliban when they killed Bin Laden, na we dey claim victory when we haven't even sighted shekau.
