Residents of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital has faulted the claim by Operation Lafiya Dole that only 26 people were killed in last Sunday attack in Maiduguri by the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

The residents said they had gone to the state specialists hospital where they saw the corpses and the injured, adding that there was the need to always keep the people abreast as regards the insurgency situation in the northeast.

Mallam Kallamu Inusa, who lost a brother during the attack on Sunday told DAILY POST that he was shocked by the claims made by the Nigerian military on the number of the victims.

According to him, “it is disheartening that people are not being told the truth about the situation; why can’t they tell us the truth? Hiding the position of things, particularly this insurgency is not the right thing to do.”

Inusa added, “in our area Polo, about six houses were burnt down by the attackers. They want us to believe them? They should resort to telling us the truth. I am not talking because I lost a brother; go round and ask people in this area, they would tell you that the figure is far beyond what the military is portraying.”

Another resident Mr. Amos Peter told DAILY POST that he was at the state specialist hospital where he counted more than 50 corpses while looking for his daughter.

“I am lucky and thank God; she was not killed. Right now, she is receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching hospital. I personally counted over 50 people killed as a result of the attack. I am surprised that the military is saying that only 26 people were killed,” he said.

Boko haram has been technically defeated as liar mohammed technically said. Boko haram technically attack maiduguri and 50 people was technically killed. But the army is technically hiding the truth by potraying that only 26 people were technically killed. So the news and real truth is technically surfacing on nairaland and everyone is technically making comments

Jeremyaaa09:
We as nigerians in the cyberspace must as a matter of urgent importance support the government and media to suffocate the terrorists using the media platforms.
I want to quote Margaret Thatcher who stated "media is the oxygen on which terrorists depend" which was further reiterated by Lai Mohammed today. Terrorists want to be popular because the more they become popular, the more they achieve their goes of instilling fear, terror and devastating psychological effects on the citizens and beautifully, the Nigerian media space is being used to achieve this. I agree we have the right to know but I want you all to also know that currently, BH is happy with the media for helping their mission of terror.
Its high time the media stood on the side of the government to protect the citizens from terror and halt all forms of terrorism through well censored reportage in terms of content especially.
When BH strike, they don't count their victims per head and they calmly wait for the media to tell them how successful they were and how weak the govt forces were. Also, the media must stop publicing intelligent information against terror groups as it aids in changing their modus operandi.
Of what good is it to both the media and her audience if the death toll was 26 or over 50? Will it not be on the gain for the BH sect to measure the degree of their success and ways to improve? Does it not cause more panics to us all?
Please our media, use the cyberspace infrastructure to weaken and suffocate terrorists rather than making them terror/dreaded celebrity. Use the social platform as a tool for sustaining peace and democracy.
God bless the media,
God bless the military,
God bless Nigeria.

N.B: I am not a lying liar nor a wailing wailer but a true Nigerian.

Scholes007:
I am very much ashamed of your defenceless defence. So we should keep lying to ourselves in order to win the terrorist?

From you logic the terrorist don't do head count of the dead but the media, hence the media should release less number of casualt to the public in order to win them. Right?

I. What happens if they(the terrorists) get less number casualt from them media were they still have more capability to inflict more damage on the citizens?

II. What will be the fact of the ignorant citizens of the nation?

III. How will that put a permanent end to the insurgency? And so on.

A friend of mine who lived in Yobe State and ran away with his family with only the clothes on their back told me a few hours ago that whenever the military give a figure, u should multiply it by 3 at least. They are such a disgrace. They should be trying to actually defeat Boko haram instead of defeating them in the media.
