Borno State Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu, confirmed yesterday that six soldiers and four policemen were killed in Rann, when Boko Haram attacked last week.

It was the first official disclosure of casualties the security forces suffered in the attack that killed three aid workers. The three victims worked for the United Nations at Rann’s displaced persons camp.

Two other female workers are believed to have been abducted by the terror group.

While giving details of its losses, the UN also said eight members of the Nigerian security forces were killed.

But the CP Chukwu said the toll was higher.

“During the attack on Rann, six soldiers died and we lost four policemen,” he told journalists at a press conference, but declined to give further details.

Meanwhile, the police in Borno have issued a 21-day for residents with illegal arms to surrender them or risk arrest and prosecution.

Mr. Chukwu who gave the directive while addressing senior police officers said it was the direct order of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, in view of the escalation of armed communal conflict across the country.

He said any person found with such arms would be dealt with in with laws of the land.

“We must brace up to our responsibilities, so that it does happen again. That was how 276 Chibok schoolgirls were abducted by in April 14, 2014.

“The members of the public are to cooperate with police ensure that the directive of IG is complied with without rancour,” he said.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to appeal to the UN and Doctors Without Borders, also known as Medicines Sans Frontiers (MSF) to return to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Rann, and other parts of Bama, Ngala, Kala-Balge Federal Constituency of Borno State.

The House also urged the government to provide adequate security for the United Nation Children’s Fund (UNICEF), MSF and other local and international organisations involved in the provision of humanitarian services in the area.

This followed the adoption of a motion by Mohammed Nur Sheriff on the need to provide adequate security for aid workers and IDPs in Bama, Ngala, Kala-Balge Federal Constituency.

Sheriff, in his lead debate, informed the House that on March 1, Boko Haram insurgents attacked an IDP camp in Rann, which is the headquarter of Kala-Balge Local Government Area.

It is getting clearer that the technical defeat of Boko Haram was actually technically clamping down of media on Boko Haram activities! My people say that you can not hide a cock by covering it with basket because definitely, it will crow!

"Meanwhile, the police in Borno have issued a 21-day for residents with illegal arms to surrender them or risk arrest and prosecution."


You want to disarm residents, while armed terrorists are on the loose?
How will they protect themselves if attacked and security forces fail to show?

TERORIST EVERY WHERE in the land

They will start recruitment very soon

Rip to the dead but you people should up ur game_invest in intelligence gathering nothing is more important than that.

Technically defeated
By unprepared government

But the FG announced sometime ago that, BH has been technically defeated and their striking power degraded.

The Nigeria Military also had announce that, they have captured and taken over Sambisa forest from BH. They even posted pictures showing drilling of bole hole and road construction to 'prove' their claims.

Now, the question is: Where is Boko Haram's new base?

I think, people who found themselves in positions of leadership should understand the need to be honest, and should also appreciate the fact that, they owe their responsibilities and trust to the citizens.
