According to a captive recently freed from Boko Haram, the terrorist group usually had inside information on the operations of the Nigerian Army.
Teenager, Zahra Umoru said that the terrorists always knew when the soldiers were advancing on them and had enough time to flee with their captives before the troops arrived.
“When they captured us, we were taken to a house in Gwoza. When they heard soldiers were in Madagali, they took us to Peta where we lived under trees," Umoru told Journalists at Malkohi, a camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Yola, Adamawa state.
"We don’t know how Boko Haram gets its information, but they always know when the soldiers are coming. If there’s something like that, they just tell us to pack our things and run. The night we left Gwoza, we just finished cooking, but we were not allowed to eat the food; we were just packed and left,” she added.
Nigerian soldiers have rescued almost 1000 women and children after an operation in Sambisa Forest, a notorious Boko Haram stronghold.

why dem no go know whwn na their pple plenty for army pass

What a corrupt country and corrupt Nigeria army under a corrupt government , everything is equal to corrupted

Moles in the system

The reason the Nigerian army became ineffective

Moles in the system

even those of us in Yemen already know this. Nigeria has no army. Yemeni Rebels are a more formidable force.

Sabotage from within, then the blame game starts.

I have always had this in my mind that some entities know the next move of our service men.

Plus boko boys have great number of sympathisers on their goals.

You know. .....

Escapy of YABA left.

Cash am oh b4 the tin go increase.

You know. .....

Handiwork of fifth columnists. They are worse than the enemies.

I'm not suprised with islamic radicalisation on the rise and the high rate of nepotism in the NA

How wont they know when we've got 'moles' in the force
its so saddening when we see bunch of fools claiming terrorists!
The only weapon we have is prayer!!

Buhari should at least retrench about 1000 top military officers all round when his govt comes in.


The impunity is just overwhelming

the presence of a snitch.

This is not new, even Jonathan said boko boys are in his family, cabinet, and in army. He said it's a family matter.

Conspiracy at the highest level!

Wont be surprise if Shekau lives in ASO ROCK

Reason why many of our soldiers are killed daily because they go into this attacks only to be ambushed by already prepared terrorists!

Guess they have enough moles in the system... I wonder how some people could play politics with human life...

It worries me more to think that some military leaders are using terrorism to tap money from the government..

This is not news at al...it. Is public knowledege that our military apparachee has been infiltrated and politicized..there higihaga behaviour during the buhari certificate saga reenforces that possition..I just pray the new regime will sanitise the organization

Internal sabotage in the army was what prolonged the battle against boko haram.

Its simply the informants in the Force. But all their tricks is failing and soon, they will be exposed.

I dont sense internal sabotage from army, boko haram gets info about troop movement from the villagers (informants) they have all over the NE.

Moles in the military.

This is one of the reason why defeating Boko Haram was very hard. That's why the Nigerian Army couldn't make much stride in their quest to nullify BH's carnage.

Some powerful forces in the North raised BH.

Reconnaissance.

Simples....all Boko needs to do is send scouts to watch army movements.

It is easier for guerrilla style forces to monitor movements of organized armies....than it is for the army to monitor them.Because armies are easily visible. (Ask the Americans about the Vietnamese).

That is why Nigeria needs to improve its unconventional warfare capability.....Fight Boko on their ground so to speak.

A guerrilla force does not need infiltrators. All they need are a few informants in the local population....guys who call Boko central to tell them about Army movements....scouts if you will.

Exactly.

A whole bunch are sympathetic to the BH cause...

I said Boko Haram had the support of the Islamic North!

They have members in the Army, police, Immigration, Civil Service, Emirs, Imams, PDD, APC, and what have you.

No government can win a war if the members of her army are also members of the enemy camp!

Perhaps, it was Jonathan that was calling Boko Haram to inform them of the moves of the Nigerian army!

ONE Nigeria can burn to ashes for all I care.

When we are saying Nigeria is fraud , we are called names.

News such as this inspires us to pursue our freedom!
Long live the Republic of Biafra,
