He, however, advised the media to beware of the mischief and conspiracy by some theorists who are bent on orchestrating a well-rehearsed smear campaign against the Nigerian military.

“They have been struggling to attribute the recent defeats inflicted on the terrorists to the invincibility of other forces or military outfits other than Nigeria’s.

“The truth of the matter is that the current turn of the tide against the terrorists is an initiative conceived and is being driven by the Nigerian military but enjoying the backing of the reinvigorated Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), which has troops from Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

“The continuous aerial bombardment of identified terrorists’ cells and hideouts by the Nigerian Air Force and subsequent ground offensive by the Nigerian troops pursuing the dislodged terrorists is proving worthwhile.

“Our partners are entrusted with employing the instrumentality of the Multi-National Joint Task Force to contain any terrorists who heads towards our borders with neighbouring countries and preventing the formation of any new safe haven elsewhere,” the military spokesman said.

He further explained that the forces had been working very hard in consonance with the terms and spirit of the Memorandum of Understanding that preceded the counter-terrorism operation, pointing out that the forces are effectively checkmating trans-border activities of the terrorists.

Bwahaha - For five years, there was nothing but shame, until Chad came along.

There is still shame, but of a different kind.

“However, while these support and show of love are being savoured, the attitude and activities of segments of the society who are still hell bent on undermining the morale of our fighting force by deliberately playing down the operational successes so far achieved remains very unfortunate indeed.

“In a bid to spitefully drown the efforts of our troops, this group of people have been mischievously and exaggeratingly reporting the supportive roles of foreign allies to the detriment of our operational success in the fight against terror.

“They go to every extent to ridicule, taunt or project every falsehood, purely to score some points in the clandestine sympathy for the terrorists. This unpatriotic posture is directly or indirectly undermining the esteemed status of Nigeria in the comity of nations”, he lamented.

According to him, “the current turn of the tide against the terrorists is an initiative conceived and is being driven by the Nigerian military but enjoying the backing of the reinvigorated MultiNational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), which has troops from Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

“The continuous aerial bombardment of identified terrorists’ cells and hideouts by the Nigerian Air Force and subsequent ground offensive by the Nigerian troops pursuing the dislodged terrorists is proving worthwhile. Our partners are entrusted with employing the instrumentality of the Multi-National Joint Task Force to contain any terrorists who heads towards our borders with neighbouring countries and preventing the formation of any new safe haven elsewhere.”

[b]While recognising the contributions of partners in the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF) in the operations, Olukolade explained that their roles really have been much limited to their respective border areas by preventing Boko Haram elements to run into their countries while fleeing from Nigeria and also preventing the terrorists to maintain safe havens in those neighbouring countrie[/b]s.

“The forces have been working very hard in consonance with the terms and spirit of the Memorandum of Understanding that preceded this operation. They are effectively checkmating trans-border activities of the terrorists.

“There have been instances where these provisions for the operation of the MNJTF have afforded our partners the latitude required to pursue or beat back a retreating band of terrorists into Nigerian territory as was the case in Gamboru and other locations not far from the border”, he clarified.

“Unfortunately, some interest groups who seek to misinterpret this fruitful collaboration are seeking to drive a wedge between the Nigerian military and her supporting military formations or contingent by deliberately trying to denigrate and ridicule the effort of the Nigerian forces.

“If other militaries that have just joined the war against the terrorists would be described in some warped reports as “battle-hardened”, how would any sensible commentator or reporter describe the gallant Nigerian forces that have been battling these mercenary-ridden terrorists for over five years now say?”, he queried.

Despite the determination of some foreign media and their local collaborators to bring Nigerian military to disrepute however, Olukolade maintained that “the Nigerian military will not be distracted or detracted from the current momentum which is geared towards stamping out terrorism not only in Nigeria but in the entire sub-region.”

Chad president tells Boko Haram leader to surrender or face death
BY MADJIASRA NAKO
Wed Mar 4, 2015 3:00pm EST

N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - President Idriss Deby of Chad said on Wednesday he knew the whereabouts of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, and called on him to surrender or risk being killed.

Chad's army has waged a series of battles against Boko Haram as part of a cross-border military campaign and has re-taken territory the militant group held in northeastern Nigeria.

"‎Abubakar Shekau must surrender. We know where he is. If he doesn't give himself up he will suffer the same fate as his compatriots," he told a news conference after a regional meeting.

"He was in Dikwa two days ago. He managed to get away but we know where he is. It's in his interests to surrender," Deby said, referring to a town in northeastern Nigeria held by Boko Haram that fell to Chad's army earlier this week.

Nigeria's presidency declined to comment on Deby's remarks and a defense spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Nigeria's military has said on at least three occasions it had killed Shekau, or a man claiming to be him. Each time the leader has resurfaced to issue a fresh jihadist video, one of numerous videos the group has made.

The Chadian army is considered one of the best in the region, backed by a strong air force. It first deployed to help Cameroon fend off Boko Haram and is now pressing southwest into Nigerian territory after capturing the border town of Gambaru last month.

Boko Haram, a Sunni militant group, has killed thousands of people in Nigeria during a six-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic caliphate. It has also staged a series of recent cross- border attacks into Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

On Wednesday, a bomb planted and remotely detonated by Boko Haram militants near the southeastern Niger town of Diffa killed two soldiers and wounded a third, Niger military sources said.

In a separate attack, armed men on a motorbike killed at least two people in Kerawa, in the Far North region of Cameroon, on Tuesday around 2 p.m. (1300 GMT), according to a Cameroon army officer who declined to be identified.

I refer you back to Major General Olukolade.

DieVluit:

You are.
The point of liberating a town is that BH is now gone and will not be coming back.
The deaths do not change that, unless you are a sadist.
You had five years and counting of insurgency that you failed to stop. Thousands died and millions were displaced.

We contained the problem for 5 years.
It isnt easy to confront enemies that you cant even see.
The main reason why we are suddenly having the upper hand in battle is because BH now inhabits a specific region of land,we now know the areas to target,we now understand our enemies and their capabilities,also,civilians have mostly evacuated terrorist infested areas.
We can now give a face to what we are up against.
Unlike the past 4 years,we can now confront this menace and defeat it fair and square.
I'm not a sadist,i dont enjoy hearing or reading about hundreds of people dying,neither do i suscribe to using the discomfort of others to fuel my arguements and ideas.
We are tackling this menace decisively.

There are no joint operations between Nigeria and Chad. Therefore, no instructions on how to operate. Shame has caused Nigeria to stall Chad's advance.

No joint operations as in troops fighting alongside, but they can't do anything on Nigerian territory without first being given permission or instructed to do so.

They were not needed in Baga. Their job is to prevent cross border crimes and secure the border area while Nigerian troops continue to clear communities and move towards the border regions.

rka1:

Meaning Nigeria cannot give Chad instructions other than denying them the right to advance further than they already have. Which right was denied after Chad had seen significant success. Also, meaning claims cannot be made that Nigeria contributed to Chad's victories.
