Troops of the Nigerian Army currently prosecuting
the counterinsurgency operations in the
country’s Northeast on Thursday announced the
killing of 19 Boko Haram fighters.
Among those killed, according to a statement by
the spokesperson for the army, Sani Usman, was
a notorious Ameer (leader), Abubakar Gana, in
whose hands hundreds were reported to have
been slaughtered.
Those who understand Boko Haram’s internal
workings say it is customary in Boko Haram circle
that a member only achieves Ameership position
after killing at least 50 persons and or after
personally slaughtering his parents or a member
of his family.
Mr. Gana is said to have achieved that rank many
years ago, before assuming his position as chief of
the sect’s killer squad.
It was in line with his attribute as a fearless and
“merciless” killer that he led a group of fighters,
despite the continuing defeat his group suffered
in the hands of Nigerian troops, to stage an
ambush on advancing troops of the Nigeria Army
on Friday, near Chukungudu village of Borno
State, officials said.
Mr. Usman, a colonel, said, “A carefully planned
and deliberate attack comprising troops of 22
Brigade Garrison, and 153 Task Force Battalion of
7 Division and 8 Task Force Division as well as
Nigeria Air Force Intelligence Surveillance
Reconnaissance (ISR) and some Civilian JTF, was
carried out on Boko Haram terrorists stronghold
and camp at Chukungudu on Friday 3rd May
2016.
“While advancing to the location, the troops
encountered Boko Haram terrorists ambush
positions at Muskari, Gilam and Hausari before
descending on their main objective at
Chukungudu.
“During the encounter at the camp, the troops
killed 19 Boko Haram Terrorists including their
notorious leader in the area called Ameer
Abubakar Gana. They also discovered and
destroyed the terrorists Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs) making factory, discovered and
successfully detonated 4 primed IEDs. The troops
also recovered 2 Anti-Aircraft Guns, 1 AK-47 Rifle,
a Pistol, 1 Rocket Propelled Gun (RPG) Bomb, 1
AK-47 Magazine, 267 rounds of 7.62mm (NATO)
metal links ammunition and 23 rounds of
12.7mm belt ammunition. Other recovered items
include a Canter truck, 1 Gun truck, 1 Land Rover
vehicle and a Toyota Hilux vehicle.
“Unfortunately, 2 soldiers suffered gun shot
wounds as a result of enemy action. However, it is
gratifying to state that both of them are very
stable and responding to treatment at the Field
Ambulance”.
Sources from within the Civillian-JTF, who spoke
to our reporter on condition of anonymity, said
the death of Ameer Gana was a major setback to
the deadly sect “because he was among the few
lieutenants that have direct communication link
with the group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau.”

After our school teachers, I think our troops in the North should be the next highest paid government workers- the least paid should be our federal legislators. Saw two of those layabouts in the club last night and one was dancing as though it were a stupidity contest. End of the month, he takes home fat asss cheques for doing absolutely NOTHING!!

God help us.
