Anxiety Over Increasing Boko Haram Attacks In Abuja's Neighbour, Niger by PrinceOfLagos(op):
There is palpable tension over increasing Boko Haram infiltration of Niger, a State that shares border with Nigeria’s capital, Abuja.

A number of communities have witnessed deadly attacks in recent months due to the presence of the terrorists.

In April 2021, Governor Sani Bello confirmed that Boko Haram hoisted its flag in Kaure village under Shiroro LGA.

The sect is known to do so whenever they consider an area a territory they dominate and control activities therein.

Bello had raised the alarm at a visit to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camp in IBB Primary School, near the Emir of Minna’s palace.

“There are Boko Haram elements in Niger. Here in Kaure, they have hoisted their flags. Their wives have been seized and forcefully attached to Boko Haram members.

“This is what I have been engaging the Federal Government on. Unfortunately, it has now got to this level. If care is not taken, even Abuja is not safe”, he warned.

On the upsurge of attacks, the Nigerian military says Boko Haram fighters are behind the recent atrocities.

An officer told PRNigeria that the insurgents use sophisticated weapons, hoist flags and plant bombs on roads.

“Even with the aerial bombing, ground operations are being hampered by planted IEDs which require sweeping to defuse affected areas.

“We can’t move without advisories from bomb experts on the safety of our troops and the routes.”

The source recalled that in January, Boko Haram retaliated the killing, arrest of its members and recovery of over 500 animals.

“They launched the bloodiest attack on the camp of Joint Security Task Force in Galadiman Kogo district, killing 11 security personnel”, he said.

The Task Force stationed at Kuchi in Munya was shut down after the assault.

On Monday, an IED claimed the lives of four Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) operatives in Niger.

El-rufai just revealed yesterday that there would be opposite swap of all positions held by regions citing equity and fairness

Everybody agreed without asking about what the various political blocks would get in the swap.

Since president is zoned to south, ACN group can not lay any hand to president since it was VP before

It therefore means there would be simple consensus agreement that (npdp,ANPP,Apga) block would produce the south president for complete equity and fairness

From npdp, ANPP, Apga NPDP contributed most and only one southern man remains key in that npdp in APC today

If you agree with consesus swap of regions but don't agree with consesus swap by party blocks you are enemy of the party and can be suspended

BH have long been in Abuja and government since their patrons came on board. So there should not be any panic or anxiety.

Seriously, I am worried. If Bokoharam can be wrecking havoc in shiroro local government, very soon they will be in lambata, very soon they will extend their madness to suleja and Zuba.
We are in for it. huh
