Boko Haram Controls 2 Local Govts In Borno - Gov Shettima by mohince(m): 9:44pm On Oct 27, 2015 |
Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, has made a shocking revelation about the state of the Boko Haram insurgency in the state, Sahara Reporters say. “They(Boko Haram) are at present controlling two local governments in Borno State; Abadam and Mobbar and they are partially in Marte.” he said in a brief meeting with Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr. Babachir David Lawal. "At some point, Boko Haram overran 20 out of our 27 local government areas in Borno State. They overran four local government areas in Adamawa and two in Yobe.” However Lt. Gen Buratai, the chief of army staff has disputed Shettima’s claim. “No Boko Haram is holding any territory in Nigeria at the momment, I have not heard any Boko Haram member or leader making such claim, they are no more in control,”, Buratai said on Monday at the Headquarters of 3 Division, the Marxwel Khobe Cantonment. “We are more determined and we have more professional soldiers on the ground, we have been trained and equipped and ready to face the challenge, if any, posed by Boko Haram”, he added. Shettima had once incurred the wrath of the military when he said the Nigerian military was ill-equipped to fight the Boko Haram insurgents. He was abused in return. However months after top military brass admitted he was correct. www.saharareporters.com/2015/10/26/boko-haram-controls-2-local-councils-borno-shettima-reveals |

The Statement by Governor Shettima that Boko Haram is in control of two local government area of Bornu state and the rebuttal by Nigerian Armed Forces that no local government area is in the control of the insurgents represents a failure of Governance, before such statements that could shore up Boko Haram exploit positively is made, His Excellency should have had briefing with the Military command. The lack of contact between His Excellency and Military High Command is making Nigerians see the battle against the insurgents as a lost battle. |

A road all too familiar. A former first Lady wept and was ridiculed for daring to speak against this blood strewn oath. Now the shame if a nation sits at ok the heads the supporters and chapters who will not admit their pig headedness. Chibok oh Chibok. We wept and wailed or did we? Now more than 500 days have passed and wisps of the soul of your presence stare us through the forests of 'Sambisa'. Until my nation returns, until the giant awakens ... I bow my head in meditation and wail inwardly, a mournful deep wail. 1 Like |
