Troops who stormed a terrorist camp in Balmo
Forest, Bauchi State last week and destroyed it
were reportedly said to have found identity cards
and other incriminating items of some top
politicians.
The politicians who have been arrested are
presently being interrogated over evidence of their
ties with the dreaded terror sect, Boko haram,
according to vanguard.
The Coordinator of the National Information Centre,
NIC, Mr. Mike Omeri, told newsmen in Abuja,
yesterday:
“Following the last successful operation carried
out by security forces to dislodge terrorists from
their forest bases in Darazo Local Government
Area end of Balmo Forest, some politicians are
currently being interrogated following the recovery
of some sensitive registration cards and other
materials of a prominent political party that were
found in the possession of some of the suspects
arrested.
“Those who are being interrogated are prominent
politicians belonging to a frontline political party.
Troops even recovered the identity cards of some
of the politicians.”
Mike Omeri, however, declined to mention names
of the politicians.
Meanwhile Omeri while speaking on the efforts to
rescue the abducted Chibok girls blamed the
activities of some organisations and individuals in
aiding insurgency in the country.
He said: “S ome of these groups are augmenting
and supplementing terrorists by their activities
because they create diversion for security
operatives from promptly responding to insurgent
activities.”
“Nigerians should be assured that there is hope of
finding and bringing back the girls; there is hope
that the terrorists will be defeated and good
progress is being made" Omeri said.
Meanwhile it was reported yesterday that troops
had to dig a hole in order to gain entrance into the
home of a Boko Haram kingpin reportedly killed
during a shootout in Kaduna on Sunday, 6 July,
2014.
There are Also strong indications that members of
Somalia militant sect, Al-Shabab, aided dreaded
Boko Haram in carrying out the attack on Nyanya
Motor Park in Abuja last week.
Here’s what a top military source said: “We
received the information two weeks before the
attempted jailbreak at the headquarters of the
Department of State Services in Abuja. What we
got was that those who carried out the Kenyan
Mall attack were up to something in Abuja.
“So when the jailbreak at the SSS occurred, we
thought that could be their mission to the country.
What happened on Monday last week seems to
suggest that they had a hand in it because we had
the information two weeks before that foiled
jailbreak.
“All along, we had been suspecting the hand of
international terror organisations in the fight; most
of the patterns of these attacks indicated their
involvement.
“This could be a confirmation; it could be an
interesting confirmation which will help in our
subsequent approach to the strategy of managing
this issue.|”
Investigations by Punch also revealed that Al-
Shabab, which has strong links with the dreaded
Al-Qaeda, had moved from providing technical
assistance to Boko Haram to fighting alongside
insurgents in some parts of the North-East in
Nigeria.
Also, another security source disclosed that
Nigerian soldiers, during their operations against
Boko Haram, had killed some foreigners
suspected to be members of Al-Shabab.
He said that “the support of Al-Shabab and Al-
Qaeda for Boko Haram, until recently, was initially
restricted to providing technical assistance such
as training as well as arms and ammunition. I can
confirm to you that several of such foreigners with
strange features have been killed.”
Look at the photo above. The woman holding an
injured lady, as if trying to help her, is the
dangerous woman known as White Widow. She
used her fake assistance to the injured lady as
cover to escape after the deadly bombing of
Kenyan Mall last year.
The UK Daily Star had quoted security sources as
saying that British-born Al-Shabab operative,
Samantha Lewthwaite (white widow) might have
had a hand in the Abuja attack.
The woman, said to be on the run in Africa with
three children since January 2012, is one of the
most wanted persons on Interpol’s list. She is
wanted in relation with seven murders and the
attack on the West Gate Shopping Mall which
resulted in the death of 67 people last year.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram had boasted
that it is merging with al-Shabab and Al-Qaeda.

I still have my hopes high that BH will b crushed but after Naija dismantlement!

I just dont like the way this mike omeri guy talks. He's informing nigerians and he talks like he's talking from a beer parlour. What is it talking with 'cut-in' like 'ahh, ehh, oh' typical of Nigerian politicians and pausing unneccessarily as if he's not prepared?
They should make the name available asap. They might link those politicians to d opposition party, as that's what pdp stands for.

What stopped him from naming the names of those politicians with links to Boko Haram?
