Army Revealed Why They Have NOT Bombed Shekau by 9jagistonline(m): 10:20pm On Mar 07, 2015
The Nigerian Chief Of Defense Staff has exposed why the military have not carried out an aerial bombardment of Boko Haram Leader, Abubakar Shekau’s hideout.

According to the Nation newspaper, army have not stormed Shekau’s hideout because the sect is using the Chibok girls as shield.
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, on Wednesday visited Chad to seek clarifications on some issues and map out plans with multi-national force on what a source described as the final onslaught against Boko Haram.
The military source, who spoke in confidence with The Nation, said Shekau and some members of his Shura Committee – the sect’s highest policy making body had been shuttling between Sambisa Forest and strategic locations, such as Gwoza and Bama.
The Chadian President, Idris Deby said Shekau’s convoy was sighted in Dikwa on Tuesday. But the military source explained that Shekau has a strong base in Gwoza with a special armoured tank.
The source said: “Troops have located what I may call Shekau’s bunker but they cannot strike because some of the Chibok girls are being used as shield by the leaders of Boko Haram.
“We want to do a clinical job with limited damage because the whole world is awaiting the safe return of the Chibok girls.
“ The ability of the troops to rescue some of the girls will earn more credit to the success of Nigerian military against the insurgents.
“We are also being extremely careful to avoid any military assault which may force Shekau to turn against the Chibok girls and other hostages in Boko Haram’s camps in the Northeast.
According to the source, intelligence report has indicated that recent bombings in Jos and other cities were borne out of anger against the military for reclaiming over 40 occupied territories and killing more than 300 insurgents.”
Air Marshal Badeh on Wednesday met with the Chadian military hierarchy.
A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “ The session was used to iron out alleged claims by Chadian military that Nigerian troops were frustrating its collaborating troops in the Northeast.
“At the meeting, the Chadian military denied issuing such statement. Instead, it restated its commitment to collaboration with Nigeria to rout out the insurgents from the Northeast and the sub-region.
“After ironing out the misgivings, the CDS and Chadian counterpart later mapped out plans with the multi-national force on the final onslaught against Boko Haram.
“We are likely to see enhanced synergy between Nigerian troops and their Chadian counterparts in the next few days.”
It will be call to mind that in a recent interview, President Goodluck Jonathan revealed the status of the captured chibok girls.

una don start with this una excuse of a thing again. Chad said they know where he is and are asking he surrender. You people are creating excuses for him to recuperate from his injuries and adjust his strategies again.
Forget all this nonsense excuse even the parents have accepted the consequences of the military operations from the unset. Can the Nigeria army storm that place lets put everything about the BH to the background once and for all. Enough because of chibok girls or dialogue. Crush the problem already. Its taking too long. Do not give them chance/excuse. Every opportunity they(BH) get they are becoming stronger and adjusting strategy.
Please FGN and Military proceed and quench the problem once and for all. Its no time for excuses and time wasting. angry angry angry angry
