The actions of all these groups , book haram, militants and smugglers, is it not putting Nigerian government in a shameful position ? And then we'll be wondering how they're able to gain the support of many people. If the govt of Africa's biggest economy is being schooled by such groups, do we need a govt at all ?

Boko Haram has been forced to produce its own fuel to power its motorbikes because of an acute petrol shortage caused by a military squeeze on supply lines.

A senior military source said the Islamists were paying huge sums of money for jerrycans of fuel while a woman who recently escaped from the group said they were making groundnut oil into biodiesel.

“Boko Haram were paying outrageous sums to get fuel and the incredible profit margin made young men defy the risk and take fuel to them,” said the source in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri.

“The cutting off of fuel supplies has badly crippled Boko Haram and that has been made possible by blocking all identified supply routes and the crackdown on the suppliers,” he told AFP.

Fuel vendors seeking to exploit the group’s need for fuel could sell each 25-litre jerrycan for 50,000 to 70,000 naira ($250-$350, 222-311 euros) each, said escapee Ya-Mairam Ya-Malaye.

A jerrycan of fuel in Maiduguri costs only $13.

But the risk of being caught up in a military aerial bombardment on Boko Haram positions has forced the vendors to stay away, said the security source.

Babakura Kolo, a civilian vigilante assisting the military against the Islamic State group affiliate in Maiduguri, said the militants would pay any amount to get fuel.

“It was a lucrative business for the fuel vendors,” said Kolo, who was involved in the crackdown against Boko Haram suppliers in the city.

“But we have taken care of them and Boko Haram are feeling the crunch because they are out of supplies.”

Previous reports have indicated the rebels are also running low on food.

– Groundnut oil –

Nigeria and its neighbours Cameroon, Chad and Niger began a concerted fight-back against Boko Haram in January last year, recapturing territory lost to the militants the previous year.

President Muhammadu Buhari has said the rebels, whose insurgency has killed an estimated 20,000 people and forced some 2.6 million to flee since 2009, can no longer fight conventional warfare.

Instead of its trademark hit-and-run attacks using pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, the insurgents have even mounted strikes on remote villages on horseback, bicycles or on foot.

Ya-Mairam Ya-Malaye, a 57-year-old mother-of-eight who was among hundreds of women and children abducted from the town of Bama in September 2014, managed to escape Boko Haram last week.

She said the group has devised a crude way of adding salt to oil extracted from groundnuts to make biodiesel for their motorcycles to mount attacks from their Sambisa Forest enclaves in Borno.

“They confiscate the groundnuts (that) farmers in villages in and around Sambisa cultivated all-year-round from their farms and irrigation fields,” she explained from Maiduguri.

“They crush the nuts using diesel-powered grinding machines to extract the oil to which they add salt to make it light and combustible.”

Boko Haram had been getting fuel from young men who would bring the petrol to designated points near Sambisa (forest) for the fighters to pick, she added.

Ya-Malaye said she was taken to Sambisa Forest from Bama and moved between camps as troops pushed further into the former game reserve in pursuit of the militants.

The offensives and heightened border security made it difficult for the militants to receive deliveries from fuel vendors from Maiduguri and Cameroonian border towns, she added.

E don happen

Boko too no get fuel

Picture pls

At bolded... they can't get fuel because there is no fuel and not because of your silly army blockade

OlayinkaFawaz:
Picture pls

Do u mean picture of boko haram on queue at fuel station

The motor bikes and trucks utilised by Boko Haram run on PMS.

If they had diesel trucks I may believe this but converting vegetable oil to fuel to power petrol engines is near impossible.

This is a fat lie from the lying bastards

The spark plugs in petrol engines can not ignite the vegetable fuel. Only diesel engines are adapted to utilising less inflamable and high viscous solvents by compressing and igniting the fuel under high air pressures

Again the Nigerian Army shows how daft they are at making a simple lie.

Have you been to Sambisa or are you their supplier of bikes? You sit down on your stool at home and call a 57 year old woman who was a BH captive a lying bastard .

the chinco bikes and Toyota trucks used by Boko haram run on petrol.

If you took your education seriously you won't believe every rubbish taqiyya lie.

Petrol engines ar called petrol engines for a reason.

pinshure or u knw the rest

See lie

Pidggin:
See lie

You dey mind them.


I no blame them, it is the 15 million illiterates dem dey target

I thought that our "strong man of integrity" said he has TECHNICALLY defeated Boko Haram terrorists?
How can they still be producing fuel?
Could our "only saviour" be telling LIES

You have not shown me anything thing that contradicts the claim. If you had taken your education seriously, you'd have provided evidence of BH only using petrol engines rather than the crap you posted.
That's how your type denied the chibok girls abduction, we know you hacks.

So boko harem are now in possession of alien technology in sambisa and extracting and refining crude oil?

Believe this nonsense at your own risk... Season film

Don't mind the liars.
Ordinary people never get fuel, na Bokoharam wey de hide inside sambisa go get.

Bros don't rule out the possibility. It might not be salt she only tried to narrate what she saw. Did you ever know BK could manufacture IED's ?

Where did they learn how to convert groundnut oil into biodiesel? Was it from the Quran?

Boko being persecuted wailing zombies will shout and add we will take PMB to hague

Those yeye people are running a parallel government and colony for themselves o. May thunder fire them

you dont need to go to Sambisa to know what could work & what wouldnt work.
It is science and since petrol engine uses spark plug to ignite fire it is near impossible for groundnut oil & sold to ignite power on the engine. And besides salt is not good for petrol engine.
That 57 years old woman is a peasant & i am sure uneducated too. She may not know what bh guys are really doing to get fuel for their engines.

Please shut up! As in Shut up!!! I read the full article and never saw where the military was the one who made the assertion. What I read was an escapee and a civilian JTF giving accounts. The military only said BH are short of supplies.

Besides the woman man npt not exactly the full process of how they are making the biodufuel. Did anyone ever think BH could make IEDs, rocket Luanchers and sophisticated bombs?

Applaud the success against this demons once.....and atop being senselessly hateful.

What I'm saying is, how can he categorically state that BH use only petrol engines ?
Has he been to Sambisa to see how they generate power, people who lived with them testify to them powering their machines bio fuel

Fhcuk!


So Boko Haram have a refinery now and yet we dont have one functioning refinery in Nigeria..



Abu Qaqa should be granted amnesty and made Minister of Petroleum..

Ehen ehen

Same defeated Boko Haram.
Same Sambisa forest that has been cleared.
