Boko Haram carried out its deadliest attacks on the key northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power, killing scores in a series of coordinated bomb blasts. Police in the Borno state capital said at least 54 people died in Sunday’s co-ordinated strikes, with 90 injured, but residents caught up in the explosions said as many as 85 lost their lives. The attacks on Sunday night in the Ajilari Cross area and nearby Gomari, near the city’s airport, killed and maimed worshippers at a mosque, bystanders and football fans watching a televised match. The army and rescuers said the explosions were caused by homemade devices but one local and the police said a female suicide bomber also blew herself up. Victims of the multiple blasts blamed on Boko Haram, lie on mattresses at the State Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri, on September 21, 2015.

Locals in Maiduguri said at least 85 people were killed in a series of bombings blamed on Boko Haram, disputing a lower figure of 54 given by police. AFP PHOTO Maiduguri, where Boko Haram was founded in 2002, has been the epicentre of the six-year-old insurgency and repeatedly attacked since Buhari assumed office. Some 26 people were killed in a suicide attack on a Maiduguri mosque on May 30, while another attack on a cattle market three days later killed 13. The day after that strike, 18 were killed in a bomb blast. Since his inauguration on May 29, at least 1,100 people have been killed, with the majority of attacks in Borno, according to AFP reporting. – Co-ordinated strikes – Nigeria’s authorities have frequently downplayed the death toll from attacks in the insurgency, which has claimed at least 17,000 lives and forced more than two million from their homes since 2009. “I can assure you that no fewer than 85 people died,” said resident Sabo Ahmed. “The figure given by the police is just the number of people taken to hospital. “Many more died and were just taken away by their loved ones.” Ahmed said 15 more bodies had been pulled from the rubble of the football match “viewing centre” and that four were his brothers aged between 19 to 24. Alhaji Jidda, a resident of the Binta Sugar neighbourhood, said more than 35 people were killed at the mosque, which is thought to have been hit by a female suicide bomber. “Apart from the imam and a few people, all the rest died instantly at the mosque because of the impact of the blast,” he said. “From the figures we gathered, more than 85 people died (in total),” he said. A security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed: “Yes, the dead should be higher than what was given to you but that (54) is the official figure,” he said. – Desperation – Army spokesman Sani Usman said on Sunday the blasts, which locals believed could have been aimed to distract security forces to enable an attack on the city, “signify (a) high level of desperation on the part of the Boko Haram terrorists”. His boss, Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai, described the attacks as “unfortunate” but said it indicated the group’s methods. “It’s not a setback because it is giving us a lead to how we can progress toward our success,” he told reporters in Abuja on Monday.

AFP PHOTO The military has claimed the rebels were in disarray, having apparently lost territory and seen their camps destroyed in recent months. But Boko Haram’s shadowy leader Abubakar Shekau denied the group was a spent force, describing the military claims as “lies” in an audio recording published via social media on Saturday. Apart from suicide and bomb attacks on markets, bus stations and mosques, the insurgents have also carried out deadly cross-border raids in neighbouring Chad, Cameroon and Niger. All three countries have been assisting Nigeria in the counter-insurgency since the turn of the year, in recognition of the group’s threat to regional security. A new 8,700-strong regional force comprising all four countries plus Benin is set to deploy against the jihadists http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/85-dead-in-boko-harams-deadliest-attacks-since-buhari-took-over/ |

Nigeria’s military on Saturday claimed further gains in its counter-offensive against Boko Haram, but the group’s shadowy leader Abubakar Shekau dismissed the talk of success as “lies”. Army spokesman Sani Usman said troops destroyed more rebel enclaves and camps in the restive state of Borno, which has been worst hit by the six-year Islamist insurgency. “The fight against the terrorists in the northeast is gaining successful momentum, with most of the camps falling to the Federal might,” he said in a statement. A total of 62 people were rescued from around the town of Gwoza, which last year Boko Haram declared the headquarters of its caliphate but which it lost control of in March. Some 77 men, women and children, most of them “haggard, dejected and obviously malnourished”, also arrived in the town of Bama on Saturday, Usman said. One man picked up said he had his right hand cut off by militants in their Sambisa Forest stronghold in Borno last year, he said, adding that eight Boko Haram suspects surrendered to troops. Nigeria’s military has claimed a series of successes against Boko Haram recently and on Friday said it had rescued 90 people and dislodged Boko Haram from two villages near Gwoza. President Muhammadu Buhari in early August gave his new military commanders three months to defeat Boko Haram, after six years of violence, at least 15,000 dead and more than two million homeless. – Audio message – Shekau has not been seen on video since February and until an audio message last month had not spoken since March, when he proclaimed Boko Haram’s allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group. His absence sparked fresh rumours about whether he was still alive or had been deposed as leader, with other videos this year fronted by an unknown rebel under the name Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP). Shekau said in a 25-minute recording in Hausa and Arabic via social media: “They (the military) lied that they have confiscated our arms, that we have been chased out of our territories, that we are in disarray. “We are alive, I am alive, this is my voice, more audible than it was before. This is Shekau.” He added: “Buhari is a liar and has deceived you. The army spokesman is also lying. He and his footsoldiers always run helter-skelter whenever we come face to face with them… “Buhari, you once claimed that you will crush us in three months. How can you crush us?” Shekau directly refers to IS group leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, to whom he says he is “loyal and subservient”. He also namechecks IS spokesman Abu-Mohammed al-Adnani and sends “greetings to the faithful in Yemen”, where there is also an IS “affiliate”. There was no indication of where or when the recording was made but it appears to have have been in recent days. Shekau talks of Buhari’s “deal with Hollande”, referring to the Nigerian president’s three-day visit to Paris earlier this week, which included talks with his French counterpart Francois Hollande. He also dismissed as untrue Buhari’s comments about “our brethren in prison”. Buhari this week said the Nigerian authorities were talking to Boko Haram prisoners in their custody and could offer them amnesty if the group hands over more than 200 schoolgirls abducted last year. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/buhari-is-a-liar-and-has-deceived-you-says-shekau/ |

Keylor Navas kept a clean sheet for the fifth game running this season and is now just 10 minutes shy of Iker Casillas's personal best, who managed to go 460 minutes without conceding a goal for Real Madrid in the 2008/09 season. Navas equalled Miguel Ángel's record from the 1975/76 season, when the keeper kept Real Madrid from conceding in the first four games of the league. In addition to several fine saves, Keylor Navas was fortunate that referee Martínez Munuera wrongly disallowed a goal by Granada, incorrectly adjudging El Arabi to be offside. Granada put in a very good performance at the Bernabéu and deserved at least a point against the Spanish giants, but an outstanding performance by the Costa Rican keeper kept them at bay.
