A high-level Nigerian security source told SaharaReporters that
Nigeria’s intelligence agencies have received “credible reports that
Boko Haram has developed an ambitious plan to overwhelm and take
over Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states.”
The source said the Islamist terrorist group plans to carry out its
design by intensifying its bombings and choosing locations that would
yield high casualty figures.
“Their move is to encircle [Nigeria’s capital city of] Abuja and increase
the level of political instability in the country,” our source revealed.
The high-level intelligence agent disclosed that the shape of the terror
group’s plans have emerged from the confessions of some Boko
Haram insurgents who were captured recently. “We have also acquired
a lot of information about their [Boko Haram’s] plans through our
interrogation of Aminu Sadiq Oguche.” Mr. Oguche, who was recently
extradited to Nigeria from Sudan, is accused of masterminding some
of the recent high-profile bomb blasts in Nigeria, including explosions
at a bus station in Abuja that claimed more than 100 lives. In addition,
security agents have gleaned “significant and useful intelligence” from
interrogating one Mohammed Zakari, described as “the chief butcher”
of Boko Haram. Mr. Zakari was recently arrested in Bauchi, capital of
Bauchi State.
Our source said that Nigeria’s security agencies are stepping up
counter-insurgency measures to forestall Boko Haram’s plans to
spread its tentacles to the states they are targeting.
“Apart from information we have gathered from interrogating
suspects, we are also tracking critical conversations by the group’s
hierarchy and examining sensitive documents recovered after recent
raids on their bases in Bauchi, Jigawa and Borno states,” the source
said.
Our source added that President Goodluck Jonathan and a few other
government officials had been briefed about the new threats by Boko
Haram as well as the outline of the plans to counter the group’s
ambitious push.
A senior Islamic scholar in Northern Nigeria, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity, said his group was cooperating with the
government to defeat Boko Haram. “We discussed with President
Jonathan when we met during the end of the Ramadan fast and told
him that we are ready to help stop Boko Haram. But we also told him
that this is something the government must take action on. We’re
doing our own, but we have limitations,” he said.
