Boko Haram hurled some verbal missiles at the military task force yesterday. It described soldiers deployed to keep the place in Maiduguri, as cowards.
The group vowed to attack the army and warned Army chief Gen. Azubike Ihejirika, saying he should ask Inspector-General of Police Hafiz Ringim what happened after he boasted that he would defeat Boko Haram.
The group accused the Joint Task Force (JTF) of carrying out massacre and destruction of innocent people’s property.
Borno elders also yesterday called for the immediate withdrawal of the soldiers from Maiduguri. It accused them of terrorising the people and committing rape. They said well-trained policemen should be deployed as replacement.
But in Abuja, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) endorsed the military action against Boko Haram.
Members of the Jamaátu Ahlis- Sunnah-Lil-daáwatti wal jihad (otherwise known as Boko Haram), in a statement signed by Abu Zaid and circulated to newspapers in Maiduguri yesterday, accused soldiers of hiding behind women and children.
They said this move portrays the soldiers as weak, vulnerable and confused. They challenged the army to relocate to their barracks, remove their families, and wait to see whether they would not be attacked.
Zaid said: “If you have the capacity to fight us, return to your barracks, remove your children and wives and see if we will not confront you within hours.”
In the statement written in Hausa and Arabic, Abu Zaid alleged that the recent attack on the innocent and destruction of their property is a sign that “you are weak, ungodly and fearful”. He criticised a statement credited to the Chief of Army Staff that Boko Haram are cowards.
“We want to tell the Chief of Army Staff, General Ihejerika, that cowards don’t engage a military in a duel as we did in your barracks and on the streets of Maiduguri. But cowards are those who attack women, children in their sleep and who burn the innocent property,” the statement said.
Zaid said attacks on military barracks would continue to prove Boko Haram’s capacity to the army chief.
His words: “We have attacked you in your barracks in the past and, God willing, we will do it again very soon.
“You attacked us first in Maiduguri and then in Bauchi where you killed innocent lives who were holding nothing, and now you are busy killing the innocent in Maiduguri and destroying their property. If this is not cowardice, what else is?
“We consider your description of us as cowards as an affront that will not be left unreplied and we want to remind you to ask the Inspector General of Police what the punishment of his boasts was.”
Abu Zaid described the attack on the registrar of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) and his wife by the army as another sign of the weakness of the army.

^^^No, you SHUT THE FUC*K UP!! Bigoted BASTARD. Igbos will continue to mention the war crimes commited against us for as long we like. And if you don't like it?: TOUGH!!

If the soldiers that commited the said 'crimes' in the lead-up to the civil war were the ones punished, then that's one thing. But when innocent civilians that had nothing to do with the issues at hand are targeted systematically for RAP*E; STARVATION and GENOCIDE, and you find nothing wrong with that just b'cos it's the Igbos you love to hate, then it says a lot about the direction your moral compass is pointing than anything else.

So you're privy to some well kept secret about the intentions of Ndigbo as a people to visit violation; massacre; starvation; disease (and everything else your active/evil imagination can conjure) on the rest of the what may have been Biafra had they won the war?

Honestly, the pure hatred and bigotry you exhibit most times on here is beginning to make HITLER look like a saint.

What's happening to the rest of Nigeria that sanctioned and justified the atrocities against Ndigbo in the lead-up to, and during the civil war is nothing short of POETIC JUSTICE. And it comes to all who have sinned against man and do not admit or apologize for their actions.

that fool does not know that the porgom of 1966 and all other crisis in the north included his fellow yorubas men,women and children  of course he see nothing wrong with it.
back to topc nigerian soldiers only come to kill and rape , odi, choba ,benue is still to fresh to be forgotten. the earlier the nothern elders are able to push for withdrawal of the soldiers the better for the citizens of borno because by the time those soldiers are done na belle all their girls go carry and its even worse for them cause they are mostly muslims. i dont support the use of these soldiers cause nobody know where they will be sent next , e fit be my town e fit be ngro hunts town.

Negro_Ntns:
Will Igbos on this thread shut up about violation and massacre and starvation on 60s!

Shyyt, herdsmen just walked through your heartland few days ago, its during peacetime and your response was weak and limp.

You invited what happened to you in the 60s, all that massacre, starvation, disease and everything else, yes, they were respnse to your brutal intentions to do those exacct atrocities on others. They beat you to your own game, so shut up!!!

go and hug transformer you fool, the brutal intentions or whatever your ranting about where still carried out by the military whether they are igbo or not.wat about ogoni , bayelsa,cross rivers, benue etc did they also deserve it. nkuku nwanne amalonye, people like you belong in the zoo.

ak47mann:
these idiots accusing soldiers for violation and all that don't they have a ph with camera for evidence ?

even in time of peace soldiers violation women at will , we dont need evidence to believe that cause that is what they specialize on , just pray they are not sent to your home town anytime soon cause they will do the same thing.

this should not be news, we know thats what happens when you let those boys loose. if they do it during peace keeping what stops them from doing it during war, our boys lack discipline but i dont blame them , they are a reflection of our society. rape is no longer a crime in our rotten society

other ethnic groups should go and buy their spot now oo or invest not later whent the igbos take over they will start crying igbo domination
