Techically Defeated Bokoharam: A Faceless Beast Resurging In Secrecy by chigo003(m): 8:12pm On Aug 01, 2017
Truth be said, the advent of APC-led Federal Government really marked the decimation of Bokoharam, wrestling back of territory from the insurgents and restriction of the group's activities to Borno State. Kudos must be given to the Military acumen of President Muhammadu Buhari although critics say that the Jonathan administration laid the foundation of victory for APC. It will be recalled that on the height of th victory of Nigerian Armed Forces over Bokoharam in December 2015, President Muhhamadu Buhari and Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohamed declared that Bokoharam has been technically defeated. They claimed that Bokoharam cannot carry out large scale attacks again an the group has been confined to only Bornu State, Nigeria's terror capital.


However, Bokoharam has appeared resurgent in recent months. Bokoharam has rendered majority of areas in Bornu State inaccessible except with military convoys. However, the resurgent Bokoharam has been laying ambush to military convoys with the recent ambush on an oil exploration team led by NNPC and UNIMAID staff appearing to be the most outrageous. As a result of the attack, the Acting President has ordered Service Chiefs to relocate their Headquarters to Maiduguri, the front line of war. Bokoharam has lost territory, appeared fictionalized and has lost the sambisa forest, it's former capital camp. Nevertheless, like other elite terrorist groups such as Al-shabab and ISIS, it has not lost its ability to launch guerrilla/hit-and-run attacks at both military and civilian targets.


Alhaji Lai Mohammed a holder of French and Law degrees, may have been in a better position to expatiate on the word "technically defeated". However, there are too many devils crawling over the details of Bokoharam. Which governor allowed Bokoharam late leader Mohammed Yusuf to set up a camp in Borno State? Which Borno State Governor struck alliance with Bokoharam, used them to win the 2003 election, and promised them juicy positions in government? Which Governor appointed a Bokoharam member as a commissioner for religious affairs in Borno State? Who shot and killed Bokoharam late leader Mohammed Yusuf in cold blood while in Police Cutstody in Maiduguri? What happened to the panel set up by then President Yar'adua in 2009 to investigate how Yusuf was killed? Did the panel submit any report? Where is the report? Did the political sponsors of Yusuf kill him to silence him? Who are the financial sponsors of Bokoharam? Why is it that no northerner agrees to know the sponsors of Bokoharam or even be there intermediary? So many questions to answer before Bokoharam can be defeated. The military solution alone without truth may not end the insurgency.

The logic of their ressurgence is simple. They used it to push Jonathan out and they are preparing it for Osinbanjo also.
My prediction: After killing many (with collusion of some officers) and turning the watching masses against Osinbanjo they would start killing muslims when its very close to election date as a way of reminding them that only a muslim President can give them security. It worked against Jonathan.
