There are strong indications that the Nigerian troops have overrun Michika and Gulak in Madagali Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.

The states had in the past one month been in the hands of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents.

A source while speaking to our correspondent on phone said following the fierce fighting, the military are at the moment comfortably controlling Michika, which the insurgents seized on September 7, 2014.

The source said, “I can confirm to you authoritatively that the military are advancing towards Madagali.”

The source who spoke from his mountainous hideout in Michika, noted that despite the military bombardment, the insurgents on Sunday night re-grouped at the Government Technical College, Michika with the intention of attacking the soldiers before they were dislodged and chased away.

Reports indicate that about 200 Boko Haram insurgents have been killed in the latest offensive, as Nigerian troops take control of the town and have gained an upper hand in the ongoing war.

The source said, “The Nigerian troops have gained entry into Michika and Gulak, and are now fully in control of the towns having dealt a severe blow to the insurgents, as they lost about 200 members, while some escaped with injuries sustained from gun shots.”

Another source from the area said Nigerian troops had earlier met with a stiff resistance from the insurgents as they advanced towards Gulak leading to the prolonged gun duel.

The source added that: “There is a heavy fighting between the insurgents and Nigerian troops as the insurgents are doing everything to frustrate the effort of the Nigerian troops and many people who were trapped in the towns are now sneaking out following intensified fighting.”

He added that the insurgents who were in their thousands came through Uba and attacked the Nigeria troops who had already advanced into Michika, but were repelled back immediately.

Efforts to get the reaction from the Army Public Relations Officer of the 23rd Army Brigade Yola proved abortive as his telephone was not reachable while the police authority refused comment saying it is not within their area of jurisdiction.

Meanwhile, the Adamawa State Acting Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has commended the efforts of Nigerian soldiers to liberate the two local government areas initially under the grip of the militants.

dlex21: Found this piece interesting and I decided to share... Enjoy!!

Rather than leap for joy at the declaration that Abubakar Shekau, leader of the dreaded Islamist sect, Boko Haram
is dead, Nigerians are flabbergasted and
taken aback by how suddenly the
military and other security operatives
seems to be getting everything right.
Like a scene from the '24' series, the
good guys are closing-in on the bad guys
and the world is saved from a global
disaster but only that the Boko Haram
saga was a plot all along.
tell me something i don't know?
It looks like a script that was written to
help President Goodluck Jonathan get
reelection into office. You ask why? Boko
Haram insurgents are the only terrorists
in the world that would surrender on a
daily basis to a once-weakened, ill-equipped, poorly funded military when
the country is only months away from
election.

Globally terrorists groups like al-Qaeda,
Shebab or Islamic State do not sheath
their sword because election is around
the corner neither do they surrender on
a daily basis.

Don’t get me wrong, we all want
terrorism to cease in Nigeria but the
writing on the wall shows that we
probably had an artificial terrorist group
in place and reports linking friends of
the president to the funding of Boko
Haram confirms this. They sacrificed
thousands of our fathers, mothers ,
brothers, sisters for what? Re-election?
Sure looks like it.

If that is not true, why is Modu Sheriff
eating, drinking and charting the future
of Nigeria in Chad with President
Jonathan? The former Borno state
governor’s affiliation and association
with the dreaded terrorists is quite
pronounced and very glaring, yet the
government sees no reason why he
should be prosecuted.

Azubuike Ihejerika’s role as the conduit
pipe for siphoning funds and arms to the
sect has also been reported. Australian
negotiator, Stephen Davis, is the latest
person to link the former army chief to
terrorist funding. However, the spokesperson of the DSS, Marilyn Ogar
says it would be ‘wicked’ of anyone to
link him to terrorism. What kind of
government is this?

Jonathan cannot deny his own role in the
activities of Boko Haram because his
friends, with whom he shares a common
interest, fund them. That aside, over
three months ago, shortly after the
Chibok Girls were abducted Jonathan had
a meeting with Nigerian editors and
when asked about the girls, he dismissed
the question with no remorse on his face. He said they would be found in words but
his actions clearly said otherwise.

Now, our military. How do we explain the
new-found vigour and intelligence of our
military, if it is not one on a script
because this is the same military that
has loaded Nigerians with so much lies ?
You will recall, when the Chibok Girls
were kidnapped, our military came out
the next day to brazenly lie that they
have been recovered. That was one of the
hundred of lies.

Then, they lied that Boko Haram did not
take over Gwoza; same was said of Bama
and same was said of Damboa and the 25
other towns /villages they controlled. Our
military also said the sect had not
hoisted its flag but that again turned out
to be a lie.

Another lie they sold was that our
soldiers never ran to Cameroun but that
lie was quelled by the Camerounian
military, then our lying military then
said it was a ‘tactical retreat’ .Another
lie was that the military had the
requisite arms and ammunitions used to
fight the insurgents only for our soldiers
and their wives to revolt in Maiduguri.
Miraculously, the release of the Chibok
Girls will happen within days and the
president will move to the next scene of
his reelection bid. The next scene on the
script is that, President Goodluck
Jonathan will come out as the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP)’s (Endorsed)
candidate who was cajoled to contest
and feed us more lies.

He will come out in a colourful and luring
ceremony organised by TAN and
sponsored by the missing $20 billion to
declare that he has defeated the terrorist
sect, Boko Haram. We expect him to
claim that he will do more if given four
more years but we know it was his plan
all along.

The jigsaw is falling into place but this
time the icing on the cake will melt
because they have goofed . Their attempt
to con Nigerians into getting them re-
elected in 2015 has hit the rocks. We
cannot all be fools at the same time, can
we?

courage54: The only set of people who are scared of Buhari are those people who has indulge in one form of corruption or the other. That is why PDP will fight tooth and nail to make sure they derail the personality of the General.

If Nigeria must be great again then we should vote in an incorruptible personality such as the General.

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Niger-delta
