olillywales: The Federal Government has launched an offensive against a little known terror group, Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladis Sudan, which roughly translates as Vanguards for the Aid of Muslims in Black Africa.

Saturday PUNCH’s investigations showed that security agents had intensified their investigation of the brains behind the new group.

It was learnt that security agents were banking on detained members of Boko Haram and JAMBS to unmask the people behind the new sect.

JAMBS is said to be in its embryonic stage, though deadly like any other terror group.

Security sources told our correspondent that intelligence reports indicated that JAMBS is an offshoot of Boko Haram – the result of the fragmentation of the deadly sect.

It was learnt that JAMBS was created by Boko Haram commanders who were disenchanted with the leadership style of the extremist group’s spiritual leader, Mohammed Shekau.

The new sect, which had claimed responsibility for various acts of hostage-taking and the November 26, 2012 attack on the Special Anti-robbery Squad detention centre in Abuja, has been under security watch, findings by Saturday PUNCH have shown.

The group, which is believed to be affiliated to the Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb, said it was behind the recent kidnap of a French engineer, Francis Colump, in Katsina, citing France’s push for military intervention in Mali as justification.

The sect stressed in a statement that it would continue to launch attacks on the French government and its citizens as long as the government maintained its alleged hostile stance against veiled women in France as well as the European country’s support for military intervention in Mali.

It was gathered that the new group is engaged in low level insurgence against security agencies and the civil populace in parts of the country, but security operatives would not want to give it publicity by acknowledging its existence and capability.

“We are not closing our eyes to the activities of the new sect; in fact, they have been under our radar for sometime, but we don’t want to give them legitimacy by acknowledging them. That is why it seems as if security agencies are ignorant of their antics, but that is far from the truth,” a security source stated.

Findings indicated that while security agencies were seriously focused on rooting out Boko Haram, the new sect was not seen as a major problem because it is believed to be “a mere branch of the Boko Haram tree and once the tree is felled, the branches will wither,” a source said.

When contacted, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said the police were determined to tackle terror groups and sundry criminals in the country.

“Our mission is to fight crime and fight it effectively; our approach is a holistic one and I think its high time Nigerians appreciated that our strategies are working. Our determination to fight crime headlong is unshakeable and we will continue to record success against crime and criminality in this year,” Mba said.

Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria has described the emergence of JAMBS as “the same finger of a leprous hand.”

According to the association, the change in name from Boko Haram to another group is to elicit attention and pave way for negotiation.

The Public Relations Officer of the 19 Northern States of CAN and Abuja, Mr. Sunny Oibe, said in an interview with Saturday PUNCH on Friday that the Federal Government should not enter into dialogue with them because they are “criminals.”

He said, “Whether you call them a new Islamic group or Boko Haram, it is the same finger of a leprous hand; all of them are the same and their agenda is one. The Islamisation of this country and intimidation of Christians so that there won’t be Christianity in the Northern part of the country is part of their agenda. It is just changing from Boko Haram to another group for them to get attention.

“The emergence of the new group is to get attention and our position is that there should be no dialogue with criminals. You cannot use your left hand to point fingers in your father’s eyes and such intimidation is not acceptable.

Nawa Oo.. i can spot a 'jjc' moderator in d house

This govt is a write off,.

First of all, Ђδω many farmers in Nigeria fit browse

profola2be: Just like how he (Jonathan) was honestly in late 2011 that,there won't be Fuel subsidy removal before APRIL 2012,only for us to wake up to the news of Fuel Subsidy removal on 1st of January,2012.
Jonathan is just too honest.
Honestly,I never for once thought of it in my imagination,that Abati Reuben could become so useless and become a BARKING dog,even when it is unnecessary.
I use to Respect him alot

Word!.

Stupidity & lack of direction at the Federal, State and Local levels in this our Nijeriya

U mean the same way He was honest with the removal of Subsidy last year

Just to hear or see that name Goodlluck Jonathan makes me want to break bottle on someone's head

Yomieluv: What do you expect from a school located in the Northern part of Nigeria,being educated there is seen as a luxury,and a straight ticket to be the Governor of the state. So am not surprised.

Still beta than the N1500 student ashewos & high-way robbers & culltists that we have in schools located in the South

Where is he from?


Which religion?


Is It aboki or fulani?


Where is the traffic on this thread?

PDP = BokoHaram, CORRUPTION, FUGITIVES, Ex-CONVICTS, ASSASSINS & RETARDEENS

Adejoro74: If Nairaland is a measure of intelligence for you, then you are doomed, am sorry. Some of us come here to yab the crap out of others and not to contribute anything. We contribute meaningfully in real life with real names, not phony monikers. If you doubt it, persuade to start using real names and you will see who is who here.

i'm sorry for you the more, cos. i can see you dnt understand the meaning of "case in point".

I can see the South Easterners on board (this thread) claiming intellectual superiority already , because of a string of quotations from an article ;-\

i quite disagree & dare say, -

"Grades don't measure intelligence and age doesn't define maturity."

Taking Nairaland as a case in point, this wise words in quotes above^^, do, largely apply on this forum to a great deal.

Some of the most intelligent & fact based comments on Nairaland today r gotten from Non-south easterners mostly.


And, some of those members i кnoω personally to be from the Northern Part of Nigeria & the South West

Omen100: The gospel truth is that, we southerners are not truthful to ourselves, we always blame the north for our own failures, even when the north have nothing to do with our present day misdeeds. We should hold our leaders accountable for all their actions, imagine a total of $100b has being paid between the last 12years to the niger-delta states & there is nothing to show for it, its only God that will punish any of us southerners that will point accusing fingers up north.

It takes a man to admit his mistakes.

Kudos Sir!

This is Front-Page material

GEJ never fails to shock & awe

Nigerians r in trouble

Good pix Op

The north is beautiful and must rise back to its normal place, at the top

Wat of the Oct 1st Independence day Bombing in Abuja

When will GEJ get arrested

Endorsed!.

God bless the Senator for saying what needs to be said.

It's simple and straightforward, as long as the FG is in charge of the totality of oil reserves and its proceeds then, all nooks and crannies of the Federation must get their share in revenue allocation in a "Fair and sustainable sharing ratio".


The SS/N-delta are getting too much at the expense of others with little or nothing to account for it.

In fact, their Governors blow the large sums on private jets n mansions thereby leaving the SS/N-delta looking more like a wild jungle inhabited by 'Savages'.


If the govt has ηo interest in exploiting the oil up North or other vast resources in the region, then the oyel must flow without any ojoro to all & sundry.

Thank you

0lumide: The evil men do!

Azazi, Alamko, GEJ and Odili all funded militants for their own gains.

What's the difference between that and Boko Haram?

Some gullible idiots here already saying it's a Northern agenda. The reports have been there before Azazi's death and it was one the reasons for Azazi's retirement.

Live violently and die violently.

Remember the weapons stolen were from Kaduna so I will see it as no coincidence that Azazi and Kaduna's former governor died.

I'm glad our SSS are beginning to use their brains and taking out threats to national unity and not allowing it to reach military which could cause civil war.

Endorsed!.

i'm Sure Nairaland reported the false story then.


Lazy journalism in ds country

Okoros on the prowl again, they've brought this cross-country from the SE and SS to d North again.


When will there be Sanity ?.

Yea, one would like to wish for such sentiment as the Op has put it for our rulers (leaders), but, i think it goes both ways.

I don't think i can pray for God's mercy, blessing or protection for a group of people who only think and care about themselves and their closest family and friends at the expense of a 150 Million plus nigerians

I just can't!.

I am not the type to be taken for a ride with my own national wealth nor am i the type to "Suffer and smile" all in the name of being passive

My own is.. Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Shikenan!.

N5Trillion Naira stolen since he took over.

(Besides, wen did removing fuel. Subsidy become an "achievement")

**Api 2013**


May our e-days be for the better.


lacasa.

Mustay: Lacasa don't waste your time. Aside the 'laptop 40' and those who as were rightly stated as intellectually lazy, don't forget that the minimum age to register on NL is 13. Hopefully, some strata can't vote. It's the same way they prove the doubting thomases by glancing at headlines and refusing to read the content and analyse critically - blind rush.

Noted "Mustay".

They are a lost cause already.

No!, it's not.

it's a sign of a wrong President voted in at the wrong time, voted in by the 'most wrong' human beings in the present time.

confusion247: You have proved PDP right when they said that Nigeria will be like Somalia if CPC takes over. Is there any place in his statement that he condemned the unnecessary killings? Why didn't northerners kill when Yaradua was rigged to power?
CPC = boko haram(Terrorists)
PDP = Looters(Corruption)
Nigerians should choose between life(PDP) and death(CPC).

Let me correct yr un-informed gibberish,-

PDP is actually BokoHaram ...Gen Azazi (late).

PDP = Looters (corruption). ....N5trillion looted since Jonathan became President


Nigerians should rather choose Life (change) or a poverty stricken, slowly timed death either from bombs or abject poverty (PDP).

Thank you.

kaorama: We knpow you now. You sound like one of d blood suckers. But very soon, u too will feel d pain.

Survive GEJ's pain first of all
