LAGOS - The immediate past Chief of the Naval
Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin (rtd),
on Wednesday disclosed that Boko
Haram militants get explosives and
other weapons through theft and
purchase from local shops. He made the disclosure during a chat
with journalists after his pulling out
ceremony held at the Naval Base,
Apapa, Lagos. While urging Nigerians to provide
security agencies with necessary
information that will unravel where
the terrorists manufacture their
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs),
Jibrin appealed to those whose wares are stolen to report to security
agencies. He said Nigerians used to think that
the war was against the government
and should be dealt with by only the
military, a mindset he described as
defective. He said: “Terrorists are amongst us,
they are very difficult for security
agencies to identify, without needed
intelligence. Since they are amongst
us, the source of materials used for
their devices are sold by Nigerians and some stolen from shops belonging to
some Nigerians. “To that end, one expects that owners
of stolen equipment or those who
equipments are bought from should
report to the security agencies, their
confidentiality is guaranteed because
no one will disclose the source of the information. “I am appealing to Nigerians to
support President Buhari and the
security agencies so that they can do
their jobs well. “Believing in the effectiveness of
intelligence gathering, Nigerians must
provide the needed intelligence for
security forces to be able to identify
would-be bombers and suicide
bombers, as well as monitoring to the extent that security forces can unravel
where terrorists make their IEDs.”

Stolen from shops or from police and military armoury?

Many of their weapons were seized from the security agents during raids.

And that was before new weapons were bought by the federal government to fight insurgency.

I am glad that all those embarrassing moments seem to be over. Nigeria will overcome these blood-sucking demons
