Its official: Boko Haram was never degraded nor defeated.

The greatest enemy of lie is time.

Now there has to be another official lie or better still, a confession from official quarters that the administration has failed on this critical agenda

Or will they as UN to leave Nigeria? Just like they tried to Amnesty International





UN Expresses Worries over Resurgence of Boko Haram Attacks
By editor - 5 hours ago

The United Nations (UN) wednesday expressed worries over the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in the North-east.

This is coming as the ‘Operation Wild Stroke’ of the Nigerian Army operating in Nasarawa, Benue and Taraba States has said it has killed 17 bandits and arrested 67 others in the last eight months.


Also hundreds of thousands of travellers were in the early hours of yesterday stranded as soldiers blocked all major highways in and out of Yobe and Borno States.

The UN said since the resurgence of the attacks in November 2018, about 260 aid workers have been withdrawn, lamenting that this has affected their humanitarian service delivery in the troubled region.

A statement signed by the spokesperson of the UN in Nigeria, Samantha Newport, said, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr. Edward Kallon, has expressed grave concern following an upsurge in violence in the country’s North-east, which has caused tens of thousands of innocent civilians to flee their homes.


The statement read that: “Clashes on December 26, 2018 between Nigerian Government forces and non-state armed groups in Baga town, on the shores of Lake Chad about 200 kilometres north of state capital, Maiduguri, triggered the massive displacement, with most women, men and children converging on already congested camps or sites for internally displaced people in Maiduguri or Monguno town.

“A subsequent attempted attack on Monguno on December 28, 2018 has exacerbated the situation, generating further displacement amid the uncertainty caused by the clashes.”

Newport quoting Kallon, who was said to have visited Monguno and Teachers Village camp for internally displaced people in Maiduguri, said: “The impact of the recent fighting on innocent civilians is devastating and has created a humanitarian tragedy.”


Kallon also said: “It is heart-wrenching to see so many of these people living in congested camps, or sleeping outside with no shelter. Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict and the United Nations is extremely concerned about the impact that violence in North-east Nigeria, especially in Borno State, is having on civilians.”

The statement said: “More than 30,000 internally displaced people have arrived in Maiduguri, mainly from Baga, in recent weeks. The majority of these people have arrived since December 20, 2018, often after arduous journeys with young children. This includes an estimated 20,000 internally displaced people who have arrived in Teachers Village camp in Maiduguri, stretching the camp’s capacity beyond the limit.

“It is still unclear how many people are taking refuge in Monguno, but tens of thousands of people are in need of humanitarian assistance, notably shelter, food, water and sanitation.

The statement revealed that: “Some 260 aid workers have been withdrawn from three Local Government Areas – Monguno, Kala/Balge and Kukawa, which are affected by the conflict since November, affecting the delivery of humanitarian assistance to hundreds of thousands of people.”

It noted that: “This is the largest withdrawal of aid workers since the international humanitarian response scaled up in 2016. While aid workers have started to return to some areas to respond to the urgent, life-saving needs, the lack of a secure operating environment is preventing a return to normal humanitarian activities.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Operation Wild Stroke’ of the Nigerian Army operating in Nasarawa, Benue and Taraba States has said it has killed 17 bandits and arrested 67 others in the last eight months of its operation.

The Commander of the security operation, Major General Adeyemi Yekini, made the disclosure while addressing journalists in Lafia, Nasarawa State, yesterday.

The commander also presented 45 assorted weapons and 701 assorted ammunition recovered from Bassa militia camp in Zwere, Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

He said in the interest of peace and national development, the operation would give itself no rest until criminals were flushed out of the three states.

The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr. Edward Kallon, has expressed grave concern following an upsurge in violence in the country’s North-east, which has caused tens of thousands of innocent civilians to flee their homes.
"The impact of the recent fighting on innocent civilians is devastating and has created a humanitarian tragedy.”
“This is the largest withdrawal of aid workers since the international humanitarian response scaled up in 2016."

As it stands, Nigeria and other neighbouring countries do not appear to have capacity to completely degrade and recover full territorial control of affected areas. We are all just hanging on a wing and a prayer yet APC and co keep feeding the hopeful public with lies. The painful part is that they believe those lies, deliberately open dangerous roads and areas, claim to be removing/returning IDPs from camps back to their original places of origin only for such unfortunate survivors to get targeted and attacked again because some dolts refuse to be honest at least to/with themselves!

Soon Army will say UN should leave Nigeria because they have told the truth that attacks have worsened. Nigerian government will not be truthful and still refuse to hear or be told the truth! Tufia!

Nigerians can imagine how many people lost their lives all the while the evil government tagged BHT as being technically defeated.

Buhari, you're wicked.
