Nigerian Military Shells ISWAP/Boko Haram Fighters in Guntrucks, Lose Two Soldiers in Damasak

Two young Nigerian soldiers who attempted to capture a Boko Haram informant were killed by terrorists who ambushed them just as the aircraft of the Nigerian Airforce ( NAF) eliminated scores of ISWAP Boko Haram in five guntrucks in Damasak, Borno State.

An intelligence officer told PRNigeria that the young soldiers were killed when they wanted to apprehend a man suspected to be a spy for terrorists.

“The young soldiers suspected the unarmed man who were seen leading terrorists to some warehouses.

“Suspecting that the man was on a mission, rather than shooting him, the soldiers ran after him so that he could be caught alive. Unknown to them terrorists on an ambush with guntrucks opened fire on the two soldiers and the informant.

“Luckily enough, ground troops with air support by NAF aircraft arrived timely enough to engage the gunmen, killing scores of the fighters and destroyed their five guntrucks.

“Some other terrorists were hits close to the perimeter fencing, while others were neutrialised while hiding in the blue roof compound.

“The general security situation within Damasak Town is relatively calm but unpredictable,” the officer said.

Terrorists attacked Damasak town on Saturday after gaining access into the town by maneuvering their way at checking points manned by Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) troops at the west point.

They carted away an Ambulance and a Jeep. They burnt homes of Police DPO, traditional ruler and NRC residents within Damasak town.

They also looted humanitarian offices and slaughtered two unidentified men.

PRNigeria also learnt that the terrorists had camped at Kareto, Jilli, and Bamma Bukar Lawanti in Magumeri LGA for some days before the attack.

cutievik:
Guys, I Just saw this on twitter from a guy many here know too well. What exactly do you feel he's talking about??

Whyem15:
Attacks of desperation and attacks on soft targets. Cutting of garrisoned towns from supplies and so on. Especially JAS.

Can you beat this?? This morning, I have thoughts to why the Nigerian security agencies where having a hard time responding to the several calls against herdsmen, not one operation has been launched against these unfortunate humans...but at last we are getting some clarity.

There is disquiet in the land at the weekend follow­ing an allegation that the Minister of Com­munications and Digital Economy, Alhaji Isa Ali Ibrahim, also known as Sheikh Pantami, has fall­en on the watch list of the America’s Intelligence Service.

Ibrahim, also the Dep­uty Secretary General of the Supreme Sharia Council in Nigeria and a former student of Salafist ideologies, was trained in Saudi Arabia and the Mid­dle East with other top Is­lamic jihadists.

Before his appointment as a minister, Ibrahim was a known Islamic preacher and held what was termed ‘dangerous views’ against the American govern­ment with allegiance to Al-Qaeda.


According to a report, the minister was said to be a very close confidant of the late Mohammed Yusuf, the killed leader of Boko Haram with whom he allegedly shared jihad­ist doctrines.

According to Western Intelligence, the minister had ties with Abu Quata­da al Falasimi and other Al-Qaeda leaders that he revered and spoke glow­ingly of in several of his videos on YouTube.

In one of his narratives, Ibrahim had eulogised Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi as a great leader, who joined Al-Qaeda group after em­igrating to Afghanistan at the end of the September 11, 2001 terror attack on the World Trade Centre in America.

This is what he wrote about Abu Musab: “Un­der the Osama’s leader­ship, he became the unit commander of army of AlQaeda with the support of the Commander of the loyal Maula Umar (Tali­ban leader).

In Dikwa after a wonderful sermon by ISWAP, it was the locals that took ISWAP to the Guest houses and private house of Humanitarian workers. They were tagged infidels.

I don't buy this. I personally don't see how the civilians were left with much of a choice if ISWA had control of the town for those hours and could do anything they wanted. Given what ISWAP has done in the past, what do you think would happen to them if the refused to cooperate while being held at gun point. Things aren't that simple abeg.

Additionally, all it would take was one spy or informant who's also part of the group to give them all the information they needed.

SamuelAnyawu:
Oga the locals gave took them to houses of even fellow locals that worked with Humanitarian Organisation. The Locals working with NGOs are tagged infidels. I hope you are aware that money was distributed by ISWAP to the villagers that day?

Infact some villagers working as volunteers were executed.... no be every story Dey news

“We were still looking for space when they came to the market and started removing the roofs and demolishing shops; they also threatened policemen’s wives, who were in the market, that if they didn’t vacate their shops, their husbands would be transferred to Maiduguri and other states in the North-East.”





She said, “I have been in the market for years; the shops are in good shape; they are not in distress, so why the demolition? We are all Nigerians, we should have sympathy for each other; they should give us time to organise ourselves even if they want to pull the market down.

“Some of us are widows, our husbands served the country meritoriously;

If hundreds of armed terrorists were to enter your apartment in the dead of night to meet you and your family with the fact that you know no one's ever coming to help you. Now the terrorist ask you a simple question, "where is your neighbour, take us to his room". Tell me, would you form hard guy and be a hero or comply? The crux of this issue is NA's inability to protect civilian targets, leaving the civilians do what they can to save their lives, including working with an enemy you know could kill you at the slightest disobedience.

Its easy for us to judge the actions of people if we're not in their shoes.

You don’t need AK47 to compel certain people. Only Religious preaching is enough.

shadowprimezero:
Religious preaching for where? You think the entire town is dumb or what? Even without NA, let ISWAP come into the town without guns and try to openly preach their ideology to these people, people who have lost fathers, mothers and siblings to the group's violence. Do you think they'd make it out alive? They'd be ripped to shredds the same way Boko Haram members were killed by Maiduguri residents during the Giwa Barraks incident.

Its like you underestimate the power and influence a man has over people when he's armed and they're at his mercy.
