[size=14pt]Boko Haram Hideout Uncovered in Northern Cameroon![/size]
Wednesday, January 04, 2012
By Divine Ntaryike Jr
On New Year’s Eve, the Nigerian government temporarily shut down its land boundaries with Cameroon, Chad and Niger as a means of impeding crossborder activities by militants of the radical Islamic terrorist group, the Boko Haram.

And while the impacts of that decision are only beginning to be felt in Cameroon’s predominantly Muslim northern regions, with reports of rising fuel prices and stranded traders, authorities there are almost certain they have blown the cover on a Boko Haram refuge.

Reports indicate that members of the extremist group are increasingly present in Lagdo, a cosmopolitan settlement in the North Region, following calls for vigilance by local administrative authorities in the regional headquarters Garoua.

“They are easily identifiable with their bizarre dressing.  They wear long beards and red or black headscarves,” Peter Kum, a reporter with the French language daily, La Nouvelle Expression reported Tuesday, January 3.  According to him, since several months Lagdo locals have testified that the strangers are combing surrounding villages and actively preaching anti-Western sermons, establishing units and proposing huge amounts of money to those willing to follow them.

Presiding at a December 15 security coordination conclave devoted to maintaining peace and order before, during and after the 2011 end-of-year festive period, the Governor of the North Region, El HadjGambo Haman did not mince words.  He instructed security forces to be on the alert, noting the increasing influx and presence of Boko Haram militants in parts of the region.

“The Boko Haram being chased from Nigeria’s northeast, as well as thousands of runaway Chadian soldiers in irregular situation here must be closely monitored to avoid unwanted trouble throughout the national territory,” he warned.  Separate sources suspect that the presence of the extremist Boko Haram militants has soared steadily following increasing clampdowns on them by the Nigerian government especially following the Christmas Day blasts that left close to fifty dead.

Security sources and administrative officials in the North Region, speaking on condition of anonymity, say for the time being, there is no need to panic.  They are claiming that intensified intelligence monitoring implies the activities of the terrorists are under control.  “We cannot begin to arrest suspects because the law does not allow for that.  At the moment, they are not breaking the law,” one said.

Following the fatal Christmas Day attacks in Nigeria claimed by the group, authorities in Cameroon’s Far North Region, which also shares porous borders with Nigeria, have also reinforced surveillance.  Several Quran learning centers have been reportedly shut down, while Islam teachers are being closely watched by intelligence operatives.  Many of them are grumbling following several interrogations they have been put through.

@OP, Don't expect a clueless Commander-In-Chief who is unable to take decisive actions against ordinary thugs at home to engage these terrorists in Cameroon.

I wish and hope that this is true but time will tell. Soon enough, we'll KNOW the veracity of this claim.

So internal wrangling is not enough for you and want to drag Cameron into your problems?

You are a heartless fool who has been using the blood of the innocent to promote your blog. I hope the govt has eyes on you.

Continue to be afraid. Your daily drink of innocent blood will come to a jarring end. The noose is closing, so dude, get desperate.

Beaf:

You are a heartless fool who has been using the blood of the innocent to promote your blog. I hope the govt has eyes on you.

I am shocked you have not been briefed on this. The government indeed has his eyes on me but unlike most of you, I know what I am about. I will appreciate it if you could just state your point without having to insult me. You don't know me please.

The poster (beaf) is the most insincere person you have ever come across. You work for GEJ, why not tell this to him or still what is he doing abt it. Another way to divert attention from the incompetence of your slave master.

I am in adamawa now and i can categorically tell u dat de situation here is tensed. De more than 28 different tribes dat make up de state who are mainly christains are not happy with de migratory hausa & de fulani who migrated from cameroon for marginalising, land grabbing and oppressing them. As i speak 2 u now these tribes are waiting 4 de slightest provacation from them b4 they unleashed mayhem. I hav seen new bowls and arrow yesterday held by 1 minority tribe. My annoyance is dat de nysc has imposed inec electoral work 4 de coming election on corpers. Anyway may God help us all. Amen Amen and Amen.

[size=18pt]Comments from a Cameroonian blog, the cameroonians are confident of their security apparatus, and they give me the impression that they would not give Boko Haram a breather unlike in Niaja where some of our security personnel and top politicians including judges have sympathy for Boko Haram and are urging them on in their nefarious act. Quite a good insight into other peoples view.

Well, I hear Nigerians generally fear the gendarmes. Where are the gendarmes when we need them?

They know that if they try that rubbish in Cameroon, then they will taste the wrath of our Gendarmes. Worst even, we now have RAPID, which will not spare kicking them in the Bottom. Also Cameroonian's will not allow themselves to be killed for anything, so nobody will listen to Boko Harams rubbish.

A warning to our authorities, they should know that a spade in time saves nine.

Beaf you are a late comer on this because of your myopic thinking. I had argued with you in the past that Buhari had nothing to do with boko haram. I even mentioned Niger, Sudan and Libyan rebels as the sponsors but you were quick to claim it was Buhari and IBB.

At the end of the day, don't be surprised if we end up with Qatar and Libyan rebels as the main sponsors while Nigerians, Chadians and Sudanese are the major foot soldiers.

Buhari or anybody else can be behind boko haram, whether it is on the Moon or on Pluto. Please take your unintelligent crap elsewhere and stop trying to divert our attention to daft frivolities.

Beaf, i dey laugh at you.

Pls am I the only one confused here? Geographically, where is Cameroun located?

Boko Haram, Mend, GEJ all have same sponsors. The country is suffering from an internal PDP struggle. Not a North/South struggle, but a 'who must get power' struggle. The party had a zoning agreement and GEJouncr broke it.

These men are evil and realise Nigerians are driven heavily by sentiments (through no fault of ours),

Wonder why it was GEJ not BH that bombed us on New Year?
Wonder why no one has been apprehended or sacked ever since these bombings began?
Mend supposedly blew a bomb on Oct 1. Okah didn't play. So BH was the next ideology to be hijacked.

Hard to believe?

Anything that has a begining must have an END. Boko Harmist may not have heard of the reign of Osama Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda. The END is near, pity the innocent blood that will go with them.

what a the authorities waiting for with these fanatics.They should be exterminated with immeduate alacrity.BRos OBAMA ,abeg borrow them those special forces marines wey kill osama for another covert ops in cameroun!

What a misleading thread based on inconclusive speculation

'Following the fatal Christmas Day attacks in Nigeria claimed by the group, authorities in Cameroon’s Far North Region, which also shares porous borders with Nigeria, have also reinforced surveillance.  Several Quran learning centers have been reportedly shut down, while Islam teachers are being closely watched by intelligence operatives.  Many of them are grumbling following several interrogations they have been put through'

The authorities have moved quickly as they know the seed of discontent is often communicated through the mosques. If this happened in Nigeria, it would make the Rwanda carnage look like a kids' wrestling bout. The socio-political destabilisation in Chad/Niger and Libya has affected us greatly as our leadership vacuum has proved ripe for skullduggery.

some people can't just face the topic without calling beaf, it does not make sense.
i dont know if beaf snatch their wives.

First they said it was Northern clerics supporting them ,

During PDP primaries they claimed it was Atiku, IBB and other GEJ opponents sponsoring them

During and after elections they claimed it was Buhari sponsoring them

Recently the same people alluded that it was the Sultan supporting them

Today its that they are from Cameroun

Maybe tommorow when Fashola criticize govt it would be said that Fashola is Boko Harams sponsor

When would the govt own up to the truth we all know about Boko haram

When Timipre Sylva governor of Bayelsa claims he would unleash Boko Haram doesnt common sense tell you that he is one of those controlling them?

some people can't just face the topic without calling beaf, it does not make sense.
i dont know if beaf snatch their wives.

^^^ who posted the topic? a. u b. me c. beaf

so the beaf of a COWARD is no longer believing that Buhari is the commander in chief of Boko Haram

Nigerians Unite. Time to put political affiliations and wranglings aside.

Invade Kameroon Now!!!!!!!!

Up Hail Naija, the Super Power of West Africa.

anyone confirmed this yet?hope it's real sha

*walks in, looks at thread, walks out. "Let us know when a BIG shot and his cronies have been captured or killed".
