I blame buhari for this sorrowful condition in the Northeast, some high ranking officers are feeding fat on the situation.
The spoiled #850M readily comes to mind.

gulfer:
So what mitigation did the DSS put in place after he decided to ignore the warning.....DSS gradually turning to the NA (Nigerian Army) with this excuses

The DSS simply gathers intelligence (domestically), make sense of it, and advises the relevant bodies or report to relevant authorities.

stonemasonn:
I don't know about splinter groups, but I agree with the guerilla tactics. But BH can be defeated by a carefully planed blockade, and Buhari is the best person for this job, it will be hard for a southern leader to fight BH ruthlessly.

A blockade will never work due to the fact that Boko Haram is now in Niger Republic, Cameroon and Chad. Defeating them in Nigeria just isn't enough.

Another is to use the Israeli solution: that is to build a high border wall which will prevent these insurgents from infiltrating. That is in a sense a "total blockade. It will only truly work if the government goes against the remaining BH elements in the country effectively. That might involve massive intelligence work and hiring of mercenaries like was done by GED which the soldiers praised for their effectiveness

They warned him that the place is not safe, but they're struggling to return the IDPs telling them it's safe to return?

rontolo:
You tell a sitting gov to hide in his bunker, while the citizens he should be protecting are encouraged to go to ‘high risk’ zones within his domain? What Zulum is doing is leadership! At the very least, the attacks draw attention to the insecurity the fed Govt are trying so hard to bury with propaganda

The DSS should be handing this active intelligence to the military to take action and secure our land. Boko Haram is a clear and ever present danger to all, not only VIPs

Exactly!

StaffofOrayan:

That is not complications, that is enabling Say Nigeria enables BH

Thank you

Ogbuu101:

Some elements in the military might also complicit in the attacks against the governor.
There is a thriving fish market in Baga which both the insurgents and military bases there are cashing out from.

And thats simply why the fight has lingered. On a good day, they're no match to the Nigeria armed forces

The same road people go through daily.
What stops the military from making it safe ?

The so called DSS boss is an idiot. Is the question really about protecting the governor here? The attack on the governor simply shows the woeful state of security in that area and the DSS should be thoroughly ashamed of what they’ve done. They gave governor intelligence he failed to listen,let them take said intelligence and work with the military to flush out the insurgents and stabilise the area if their intelligence is of any value.

backbone503:


No. Its only complicated. And this is simply because some few ones are feeding fat from the restive situation of that region and also hoping to leverage politically on it. However, Mr. President, the Presidency and the good people of this country (particularly residents of the north east) sincerely want the insurgency to stop so that normalcy can return. Borno used to be one of the most peaceful States in this country.

You're simply a Boko Haram and Buhari a known terrorist advocate!!!

That is the fact from you... I like your comments..he said if 1000plus soilders can not secured 5km then they should go back to where they are needed..big fact

backbone503:


Between risking 20-40 lives and risking thousands, which is better?

killing a new set to prove a point is meaningless. The previous death are from error, the new death is planned.

bioemmy:
How about the local people that don't get such intelligence?

If the Chief security officer of a state can be attacked with such frequency and voraciously. It speaks volumes of the safety of lives and property in that part of the country.

Why hasn't such intelligence been long used to defeat the sect?

The governor should be careful, he has his life to live. He should remember his wife and kids. I pray nothing happens to him.

A living dog is better than a dead lion.

Boko Haram get support from extremist Politician/Muslims, Boko Haram are fighting for Sharia law, and that's majority of Muslims want.

Oga don't include bihari among d people who want it to end cos if dat d case e should have sacked those his stupid service chiefs.... as well as follow up on d spending of d military budget. can't u see d way d Chad president ND borno governor carry d matter for head.

Nigerians have long lost confidence in the Nigerian Military...

I just love the Governor of Borno he is an embodiment of what a leader is, instead of staying inside his office watching videos of propagandas and lies been fed to him by those called advicers he himself is going out to witness first hand what his people are witnessing on a regular basis...

If Zulum leaves power today his people will remember him for been a courageous leader and standing at the forefront of the fight against insurgency in Borno state.

backbone503:


And what do you have to say about the Niger Delta militants/militancy and how the Amnesty program helped in quelling insurgency in the Delta region?

Are you comparing Niger Delta militants to terrorists?
Tell me, what are those terrorists fighting for again?

lexy2014:


And d intelligence they gathered hasn't enabled d "heavy lifters" to make Baga safe? Who& who are DSS arresting apart from Sowore?

Oga which of d security agencies are u calling heavy lifters cos most of them are just boys scout with guns

backbone503:


In actual fact, the real Boko Haram has been technically defeated. These attacks are been carried out by a splinter groups. These groups are equally deadly, and employs guerilla tactics in their attacks because they truly can't withstand (head-on) the military and stage spectacular attacks like Boko Haram used to do.

You're talking nonsense. Boko haram have been technically defeated and the head, shekau is still alive? Boko haram is technically defeated but their main base, sambisa hasn't been overridden? After boko haram was technically defeated, who were the group those chad soldiers killed? Stop writting trash abeg.

backbone503:


And what do you have to say about the Niger Delta militants/militancy and how the Amnesty program helped in quelling insurgency in the Delta region?

Oga don't compare those groups with BH cos we Aleast know what they are fighting for. but do u actually knw what BH wants?

backbone503:


The DSS simply gathers intelligence (domestically), make sense of it, and advises the relevant bodies or report to relevant authorities.

Which stupid relevant authorities do they report to? did they report to d relevant authorities to arrest elzaazky,sowore and kanu?

backbone503:


He is said to have been warned not to travel by road to Baga. But if the Chief Security Officer of the state can't travel by road to a town he is hoping to resettle his people, how then will the IDPs be brought back and guaranteed of their safety? Zulum had a point to prove by venturing out. At least we now better understand the true security situation of that Baga axis

Exactly as I predicted.
They knew of the place was not safe and they couldn't make it safer.

This guy's are wicked, the money is their problem

They said he was asked not to yet until all the necessary security procedures were carried out.

So you think the DG of SSS just unilaterally does whatever he likes?

And over ten souls had to die for his obtuseness. He is responsible for the deaths of those poor guys. Bloody civilian forming bravado. If truly Intel was shared with his office and he insisted on that trip, then he should be accountable for the outcome.

Their intelligence na super power

stop wasting your time quoting that idiot, he knows what he doing, he is Buhari sympathiser.

Really??, explain why is will be hard for a Southerner soldier to flush them out,please don't bother replying if you don't have any concrete explanation.

backbone503:


So, should we cede Baga and other areas where these insurgents are active to them?

No, you still don't understand what is happening and my point. Military are in all these places and all those places have already been liberated. But the problem is the governor himself, he's like a wet sugar that attract flies. There are some liberated places that if he goes, terrorists will always make attempt on his life no matter the kind of security details he has following him and lives will always be lost needlessly. And that's exactly what the DSS boss was talking about.

Thats true. Sorry, I earlier misunderstood you

stonemasonn:
The same intelligence told us that BH is technically defeated.

At least read headlines well before interpreting it
