On the 25th of January 2017, Yakubu Fanami, an SS1 student sacrificed his life by restraining a female suicide bomber from gaining access to a Mosque at Kaleri, Borno. He and the suicide bomber exploded. Were it not for his heroic act, it would have been a different story.

Let's take a moment to honor this Hero!

[/b]Pointing out most hideouts and their kingpins. Fastest way to kill crime in a local community. Criminals ain’t ghosts they got brothers, fathers, sons and daughters.

Reason exactly why Biu Town in Borno state was never taken over by BH and will never be taken over by BH

Truly criminals ain't ghost.
But they result to a tactics that shoves you military tactics and might through the window, it's called the hide/seek that hit the opponent occasionally. Some people call it the guerrilla tactics, ask Americans during the Vietnam war it took months before they made contact with the enemy not forgetting the unforgiving forest conditions, bubby traps and so on. Read Collin Powell's books: a soldiers way & My American journey.
In our own condition we might not have bubby traps yet but we've started loosing numbers of soldiers to ambush etc.[b]
These ESN guys can easily reck harvoc and easily blend in to the civilian population going about doing there daily activities.
Thank God to the quick intervention of the NPF IRT which is really assisting in proving credible information about ESN hideouts to ground forces .
The enemy you're fighting is not that dumb to be in one location, they move and relocate in make shift camps. That's why it's not going to be an easy war.

NNPC said it now spends N9bn on subsidy daily as consumption reaches over 100m litres per day which equates to N3.2trn($7.9bn) per annum if the cycle continues.
NNPC blames it on smuggling

Cost of building a proper quality border security architecture will cost $1bn max which will end or reduce smuggling of all sort of contraband like PMS,Weapons etc to the bearest level.

But we have clowns in government

Clowns is not the perfect word but useless ones.

The quietness didn’t come because of all these arrest stories. Igbos will not allow unrest to affect businesses.

An average Igbo man is more concerned about his business over any other thing. Immediately this restiveness started affecting businesses and night outings I knew it will be over

So what did they do that caused the sudden drop in attacks by ESN. How did businessman or average igboman contributed to the recent restiveness ?

Bakura Modu Emerges New Boko Haram Leader, Confirms Shekau’s Death

Following the death of Abubakar Shekau, a 24-year-old, Bakura Modu, emerged as the new leader of Boko Haram, which controls the Lake Chad region and the Sambisa forest in Borno State, North-East Nigeria.

Modu appeared in a video, and spoke of the readiness of the group to work with the International State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

He also confirmed the death of erstwhile leader, Shekau, in an Arabic statement, as he prayed for Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the former spiritual leader and called on fighters who had been with Shekau not to lose heart but to brace up with realities and find their ways to the fold.

The new leader was surrounded in the video by top commanders of the former spiritual leader, Abubakar Shelby was allegedly said to have led a fight to ISWAP camp killing many fighters and top commanders loyal to Abu Musab Al Haznawi.

According to Barr. Audu Bulama Bukarti of Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, while speaking to BBC Hausa service, stated that this is an opportunity for the Nigeria military to cash on the infighting amongst the terrorists group to finish them once and for all.

Bukarti further said the death of Shekau was a heavy blow on the terrorist faction under his leadership and doubt if the new leader has the capacity to do what Shekau did during his reign of terror across the northeast region.

He also said that Abu Musab Albarnawi is currently losing ground as the leader of ISWAP as group members have likened him to the wicked son of the prophet implying that his father late Mohammed Yusuf has led the ground well but his leadership is bringing more uncertainty in their ideology.

DISCLAIMER

The Nigerian Army (NA) has been notified of an online video footage making the rounds in the social media, showing some persons in military fatigue torturing and mutilating an individual. The video footage is not only capable of deceiving unsuspecting members of the public into believing that the men in the footage are members of the NA, engaged in the ongoing counter insurgency operations in the North East, but a deliberate effort to promote a culture of violence in the society by creating an erroneous impression that it is a legitimate action by troops.

It is therefore crucial to refute and properly inform the public on the said footage.

Preliminary investigations reveal that the said footage has been on the social media for quite a long time and is not originated by troops of the NA. Very importantly, the uniform of NA troops deployed in the North East is the Nigerian Desert Camouflage, while that of other operations around the country is the Nigerian Woodland Camouflage. Evidently, the military fatigue worn by the criminals is a far variation from the uniforms adorned by own troops in the various theatres of operation.

The NA therefore, wishes to clearly inform the general public that the video being circulated does not have any connection with its operations. Those in the footage are not troops of the NA and do not represent any operation of the NA. The video is circulated by mischievous elements aiming to tarnish the good image and reputation of the NA, in order to create mistrust in the minds of the public.

It must be reiterated that as a responsible organisation, the NA conducts its operational activities in line with extant rules of engagement and respect for fundamental human rights.

The NA therefore wishes to distance itself from the outrageous video and reassure the public that the NA under the leadership of the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Faruk Yahaya will continue to discharge its roles of securing the territorial integrity of the nation and aid to civil authority professionally and in consonance with extant laws and international best practice.
