Nigerian Army Lied, Baga Is Still Under Our Control – Boko Haram Claims by Samueldo(op): 3:04pm On Feb 23, 2015
battle.

Nigeria’s military had announced it recaptured Baga from Boko Haram and posted pictures, more than a month after the town was overrun in the worst massacre of the Islamist terror group’s six-year insurgency.

Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said many terrorists had drowned in Lake Chad as they tried to flee bombardment from Nigerian air force jets.

The town, a fishing hub on the shore of the lake in the far north of Borno state in north-east Nigeria, was recaptured on Saturday afternoon after an assault that began the previous day, he said.

But the insurgent group Jama’atu AhlisSunnah Lidda’awati Waljahad, popularly known as Boko Haram took to Twitter on Sunday to deny the claim. Using this handle ‘@Urwatu_Wutqa’, the group posted the following:



The group, in a new public relations offensive, got suspended when they launched their first Twitter account @Alurwa Alwuthqa.

propaganda,even the residents of baga confirmed that it has been liberated,chad also confirmed it,even BBC reporters who are known for their thorough scrutiny confirmed it.so how come BH is now coming out to deny a well established fact?,they want to cause confusion,division between citizens and the military and also kill the morale of our troops.

Earlier, Dr Idris Ahmed shared this:
"The story below reached us this morning
(23/02/2015). It came from one of our reliable
sources in Nigeria. It is one of the most disturbing
stories that we have yet received. Read it and make
your own judgement!

“I have it on a strong ground that there is a plan to
capture a Shekau before the week to elections. And
the captured Shekau who is currently undergoing
training on what to say and do will mention Buhari
as one of their core sponsors. The target according
to the source is to discourage Southern voters and
the Northern Christians (from liking Buhari). The
confession is alleged to be so perfectly planned that
Buhari may even be arrested and even those who
love him may think twice (about his sincerity). The
sum of 4.5 billion Naira is purportedly budgeted.
The purpose of this budget I am told is for bribing
some Northern clerics so when the time comes,
they will pacify their followers (to reject Buhari as he
is BoKo Haram sponsor). There will purportedly be
audio of phone calls (between Buhari and the Boko
Haram leaders). Buhari will not be able to sue the
government since it will be an arranged confession
of a captured terrorist. Now, I am not saying this
(leak) is true. But knowing how desperate these
PDP people are, they can do just anything to get
Buhari out of the way. Honestly, I am deeply, deeply,
deeply, worried. In fact, I am troubled. Kindly share
this and let the world know about this evil
machination of the PDP before it is too late. Kindly
do it. The person who gave me this information is
an Intelligence officer with the Army. He looks
worried too.”
