DHQ: Military Captures Arms Caches Abandoned By Fleeing Boko Haram by Fynline(m): 8:50pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has disclosed that the Nigerian military, in its ongoing mopping up operations in the strategic town of Baga, has uncovered heaps of arms and ammunition abandoned by the defeated and fleeing Boko Haram terrorists. The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade, confirmed this is a statement on Sunday with pictorial evidence of a stockpile of various weapons abandoned by the insurgents. According to Olukolade, "Troops engaged in cordon and search in Baga continue to discover more arms of various backgrounds and shapes abandoned in some houses and the surroundings by fleeing terrorists. "Heaps of weapons most of which were strange-looking or destroyed are still being gathered. Many abandoned or destroyed motorcycles have also been discovered". Unfortunately, he stated, a soldier was stabbed while another was shot during a close quarter battle which ensued as troops involved in cordon and search caught up with some of the fleeing terrorists on Sunday evening. As part of the mop-up operation, the Defence spokesman said that a number of individuals who claimed to be residents are also being interrogated in order to ascertain their identity and motive. He said that a group consisting mostly of women continued to hail and cheer the troops as they conduct a thorough search in the area. "Wanting to be sure the group was not working for the terrorists despite the excitement, they had to be placed under watch. "The cordon and search as well as patrol of the localities continue while the offensive on terrorists is progressing in other areas of the theatre of the counter terrorist campaign", he added. Meanwhile, following the spate of recent successes recorded against the Boko Haram terrorists in the north eastern parts of the country, the Nigerian military have been put on red alert for any insurgents’ leader bearing the name of Imam Abubakar Shekau who is believed to be desperately looking for escape routes. PRNigeria was informed by a senior military source that troops have been urged to try at all costs to capture Shekau alive so that he would face justice. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/dhq-military-captures-arms-caches-abandoned-by-fleeing-boko-haram/202435/?utm_medium=twitter 23 Likes 4 Shares

7-yr old suicide bomber blow self up, kills five in Potiskum A young girl suicide bomber blew herself up and killed five others Sunday in an attack on a market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Potiskum, witnesses and a hospital source said. Nineteen others who sustained various degrees of injury were taken to hospital after the blast in Potiskum, Yobe state’s commercial capital, a local vigilante leader told AFP. “So far, five people were killed with the girl while 19 others have been taken to hospital for injuries,” Buba Lawan said. A hospital source speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed the toll of the dead and the wounded. The attack occurred at around 1.30 pm (1230 GMT) during peak hours of business, traders said. Witnesses said she appeared to be as young as seven-years-old and was the latest in a string of child suicide bombers in Nigeria. Previous such attacks have been blamed on Islamist extremist group Boko Haram. The attack again highlighted the severe security challenges facing Nigeria in the run up to March 28 presidential and parliamentary elections. President Goodluck Jonathan is in a tough re-election bid against ex-military ruler Muhammadu Buhari in the vote, initially scheduled for February 14. The military pushed for the six-week delay eventually granted by the electoral commission to give it time to secure the country even though the insurgency has raged for six years. Sunday’s incident was the second such suicide attack around the same market, where new and second-hand phones are sold and repaired. The first attack occurred January 11, when two suicide bombers, one of them appearing to be around 15 years old, blew themselves up outside the market. The attack killed six and injured 37 others. – Barring women – In Sunday’s attack, suspicious security guards and vigilantes said they had sought to prevent the girl from entering the market. “We sent her back four times, because given her age, she did not have anything to do in the market,” Lawan said. “When we were screening people, she bent and tried to pass under the ropes, some distance from our view. That was when the explosives went off.” In a sign of how much distrust has been generated over the suicide bombings, Lawan said that “since the January suicide bomb attacks, we have barred women from entering the market to prevent further attacks.” Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, all located in northeastern Nigeria, have witnessed dozens of attacks since Boko Haram intensified its campaign in the region in the past two years. Jonathan said in an interview published on Sunday that he underestimated the Islamists, who have overrun swathes of the northeast. Boko Haram has recently extended its bloody campaign to neighbouring countries across Nigeria’s northeastern border as regional forces pursue them. Over 13,000 have been killed while more than one million people have been left homeless since 2009 as the rebels try to carve out an Islamic state in Nigeria’s northeast. |

GEJ has kept the sweet wine till the end of his wedding. If NA can achieve this within few weeks, that means something was wrong with their attitude/Moral. Now that they feel that Nigerians are in need of change, they step up their actions. This was the NA we knew. Gallant and roughed in the face of enemies. 20 Likes 1 Share |

I said this before... let me say it again Who are these Boko Haram if i may ask? Northern Muslim who think western Education is a sin including the illiterate general. We Nigerians seem to be the most useless race on earth. It very shameful that most Nigerians have short memories & thinking faculties. We dances to the tunes of illiterate hausa-fulani whenever they play vocal slogans with their deceptive one Nigeria. And we forget so soon how we kept quiet as certain individuals and groups accused GEJ's govt of highhandedness against BH and called for negotiation and amnesty for the terrorists when the army under general Ihejirika was ruthlessly dealing with the sect with no single Nigerian village lost to them. Some prominent individuals from the north even accused the military of "killing northerners" while the Borno elders demanded for the withdrawal of soldiers from their towns and villages. GEJ caved in and removed Ihejirika. A negotiation/amnesty committee went to"work" but achieved nothing as BH no doubt used that time to recruit and train more fighters. The result is what we are seeing today. Maybe we didn't know that our voices would count so we watched in silences as some individuals and groups held a "weak and clueless" president to ransom as he tried to contain BH without "killing northerners". But thanks to God Almighty we are recording significant successes today. Nigeria is not just for the north. Nigeria is for us all and GEJ must continue till 2019. Q.E.D. 41 Likes 3 Shares |
