Boko Haram terrorists

As the war against terror intensifies in the North-east, many dislodged Boko Haram terrorists fleeing into Lagos have been arrested, interrogated and sent for profiling by the Nigerian Army in Lagos.

The General Officer Commanding, 81 Division Headquarters, Major General Isidore Edet, made this disclosure on Monday evening at the decoration of 12 officers to the ranks of lieutenant-colonel, colonel and brigadier-general.


While seven senior officers were promoted to the rank of brigadier-general, four others were promoted to the rank of colonel and one other person to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.


In an interview with THISDAY afterwards, the GOC said, "We are in war time. The Nigerian Army is at war; so the leadership in time of war is what is expected of a newly promoted officer especially the one star general.”

This deciet is getting out of hand . . . One of the last attacks reported from the North had it that locals knew large number of BH were in a neighbouring village but Nigerian army never confronted them.

You people are living in denial. It won't be deceit if it was negative news against the army and the country at large.

Let me ask you, when last did you hear BH took over a village in the north?

Flets:
It will be poor reasoning to think bokoharam cells are not currently operating in lagos.

Does NA have sufficient intelligence to stop them? NO
Is anything stopping bokoharam from attacking lagos? NO

Its only a matter of time. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder and unfortunately Buhari does not care.
