Residents of Kirawa-Jimni village in Gwoza local government area of Borno state said they have buried over 70 persons after soldiers of the Cameroonian army allegedly chased Boko Haram insurgents into their community.

The incident, which happened on Sunday, had forced many of the villagers to flee their community in fear for their lives.

Some of the villagers who spoke to Leadership on phone said the soldiers invaded their community on Sunday afternoon demanding for the whereabouts of some Boko Haram fighters whom they had been chasing.

“We didn’t know what was going on but the Cameroonian troops suddenly appeared and began to ask us for Boko Haram terrorists”, said Muhammed Abba, a resident of Jimnana and deputy commander of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria in Gwoza.

“Before we could say a word, they started firing: that scared most of us, and we began to run; but the soldiers opened fire and many people died. Those that went back on Monday found over 70 corpses littering the ground.”

Confirming the incident, Borno state Spokesman of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Abbas Gava, said “from the reports we have received from fleeing residents of the villager who called from Ashigashiya, near Cameroon, they said the soldiers were in hot pursuit of the Boko Haram terrorists who ran into Kirawa-Jimni. The soldiers did not waste time upon arrival as they immediately opened fire on the villagers”.

Also confirming the development to Leadership, a top politician from Gwoza local government, who begged not to be named in this report said “we have received similar reports of the incident in Kirawa-Jimnana but what we are getting are snippets of information which one cannot be taken as official”.

Kirawa-Jimni is a border community near Cameroon: it is located around the area where Boko Haram terrorists once held sway during the conquest of Gwoza. Many residents of Gwoza who had fled the communities to IDP camps in Maiduguri and Yola believed the insurgents are still very much on ground around that axis.

This was not the first time that Cameroonian troops, on the chase of Boko Haram fighters, are being accused of crossing the border and attacking residents of Nigerian communities.

On November 30, 2015, Cameroon troops were said to have crossed the border into the Nigeria, where they allegedly shot and killed about 150 villagers, burned their homes and forced many of them to flee.

GUARDIAN.

OPINION.

We are witnessing for the second time in three weeks a hostile army taking violating violating Nigeria's territorial integrity with reckless abandon and confidence without thinking about the consequences.

February 2013 : Cameroon formally rejects a request by the Nigerian government to allow its troops go after fleeing Boko Haram fighters in in Cameroon.

July 2014.

Reports of Boko Haram launching attacks from bases in Cameroon then slipping back across the border rises.

April 2014.

The Nigerian army buoyed by new weapons procured from Russia steppes up its fight against Boko Haram with round the clock artillery bombardment and targeted strike by Special Forces troops returning from Russia where they were trained by the Spetznas. They decimated the ranks of the Boko Haram insurgency. Within weeks thousands of Boko Haram fighters were killed, the lucky escapees slipped back across the border into Chad and Cameroon. Exhausted from constantly being on the run and facing near starvation 6oo Boko Haram fighters surrendered to Nigerian troops. Rumours of a potential fracture within the ranks of the Jihadi group was proven to be correct when infighting within the group left dozens dead. Sensing victory (at long last) men of the Nigerian army 7th Division, 72 Strike Group and Navy SBS Commandos geared up for a final offensive to finish off the Jihadi group once and for all, morale was high....

Enter Idris Derby.

And straight out of the sky a suprise cease fire initiative was proposed by Chads President Idris Derby over claims the Boko Haram leadership reached out tp him for peace talks and to negotiate the release of the infa,ous 200 Nigerian school. Weary from 6 years of perpetual assymetric warfare in no suprise the government was eager for talks having made several failed attempt in the past. In a huge gamble President Goodluck Jonathan called off the planned offensive and made multiple visits to Chad, where he paid millions of dollars to Idris Derb in a SHAM cease fire deal orchestrated by Idris Derby himself to buy Boko Haram time, hence preventing its demise.

That same week an "unmarked"helicopter crash in yola was found to be carrying up to $6 million in cash. Eye witness said two of the passengers, who were white ordered the chopper to be immediately set on fire immediately.

September 2014

A Cameroonian investigative journalist, Bisong Etahoben leaked a story on a close political associate of Chadian President Idris Dérby,Itno, Mahamat Bichara Gnoti was arrested as he tried to smuggle in 19 Russian made SA-7 surface to missiles he purchased from the Sudanese army meant for Boko Haram terrorist in northeastern of Nigeria. During interogation Mr. Gnoti claimed that the insurgents were being decimated by Nigerian airforce ground attack helicopters that seem to appear out of the blue all the time, even at night.He went on that President Idriss Derby gave him the funds to purchase the weapons designed to shoot down helicopters and low flying jets. Mr Gnoti had waved a presidential pass issued to him by Mr. Deby’s office in order to get past border guards but was stopped and searched by the guards who found the deadly weapons on him. Suprisingly there was no official confirmation or denial either by the Chadian or the Nigerian authorities

January 2015

In what has can best be described as an act of war, a flagerant provocation and violation of Nigeria’s sovereignty, the Chadian army in collaboration with its Cameroonian counterpart, crossed the border into Nigerian territory with 300 men, Tanks and rocket artillery to recapture Nigeria’s border town of Baga from Boko Haram insurgents, without the knowledge or approval of the Nigerian government. The Nigerian military confirmed it had no knowledge of an order by President Idriss Deby of Chad, deploying that country’s armed forces in pursuit of Boko Haram in Nigerian territory.

What was chilling about this was that the Chadian strongman did not try to hide or guise his actions. In speech to his countries parliament Idris Derby said the aim of the troops was to capture Baga.

“We answered the call of (Cameroon’s) President Paul Biya. We cannot remain indifferent to what happens to our neighbours. Cameroon must not be left alone to face this threat that has so hurt innocent people in Cameroon and in Nigeria,” said Mr. Deby."
Apparently left in the dark, the Nigerian military, however, seems confused over the development and DID NOTHING. Not even a verbal conndemnation. Notice how the Franco alliance gets emboldened time and time and again.

November 2015.

On November 30, 2015, Cameroonian troops crossed the border into the Nigeria, where they allegedly shot and killed about 150 villagers, burned their homes and forced many of them to flee. AGAIN NO WORD from the Nigerian government. And now 70 Nigerian killed on Nigerian soil by Cameroonian troops in the guise of,chasing Boko Haram fighters.

It will be illusory to think both dictators will not exploit the weakness and incompetence of the Nigerian government. Idris Derby made similar incursions into Nigerian territory in 1983 when Chadian soldiers invaded Borno. Then President Shagari ordered the army to flush out the invaders. Led by Buhari the Nigerian army launched a blistering attack, chased them right back into Chadian territory. But Buhari was determined to teach them a lesson they will never forget. Against orders he crossed into Chadian territory until he was kilometers away from N'jamena.

Sorrounded by bitter hostile neighbors Nigeria has no choice than to defend its perimeter.We either have a country or we dont. No country on Earth will allow a foreign army operate with such impunity on its soil, kill civilians and burning houses. It is almost inconceivable that such crimes are carried out on Nigerian soil .



WE ARE AT WAR

Its high time we face our fears, we cannoy wish them away with silence or inaction, it achieves nothing other than to emboldened them. This is an act of war and the supposed African superpower seems in a deep slumber. We are being encircled by forces that have historically been against a powerful Nigerian State. Up North we have France setting up a surveillance Drone base in Niger Republic,who are they monitoring? The same France that supported seccesionist Biafra during the civil war. In Cameroon we have 300 U.S Marines setting up base near the border with Nigeria in its pledge to help the country dictator against terrorism and even have a five year plan for military aid and support to Cameroon. Nigeria, the epicenter of the fight against Boko Haram is suprisingly left out if the deal.

It is such a paradox, the war being waged against Democracy. We have the United States, the leader of the free world and France, the birth place of egalitarianism joining forces with two absolute dictators to bring down Nigeria, the worlds fouth largest democracy. We must defend our democracy against ghe tyranical steel claws of doctatorship backed by the supposed upholders of democratic principle.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

In 2013 a leaked documents from former NSA operative Edward Snowden revealed that France and Cameroon had plans to invade Nigeria in 2013. In a false flag operation Nigeria will be provoked into taking military action against Cameroon. France, under the pretext of defending tiny Cameroon from a giant bully would provide Cameroon with air cover, and real time intelligence. Cameroon would then invade Calabar and annex the Obudu Cattle Ranch and some parts in East Nigeria. France with its military and diplomatic backing would use its power as a member of the security council to lobby in the UN and EU to support this move. The Boko Haram insurgency was what "halted" this brilliant plan by the Francophone alliance.

Many Nigerians (including myself) dismissed it a a conspiracy theory and laughed over it.

In 2014 A Nigerian Don raised a disturbing alarm over alleged plot by France to invade Nigeria through Cameroon as a proxy. This alarm was raised by Prof Olaghere, President of United African Diaspora States.He accused France of providing financial support, equipment and training for the Boko Haram jihadi group in a bid to continue with its destabilizating plot againstngNigeria. (hmmm Franophone France, who would have guessed.). Lets us not forget too easily also the CIA prediction of a Nigerian break up and its war games in a future scenerio against Nigeria.

I do not wish to sound melodramatic, but i do wish to impress upon you that unless concrete actions are taken to make the prospect of a Nigerian invasion very unattractive and costly to foreign power, Nigeria as we know it may not survive the next 6 months. The incoming challenges from multiple fronts as well as record low oil prices will be too much for Nigeria to bear. I do not believe in coincidence (better wrong than sorry), the indicators are too perfectly timed to be just mere coincidence.

* Former U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refuses to recognise Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation.

* President Obama slams an arms embargo on Nigeria and forbids her allies from providing any from of military assistance, including weapons to Nigeria.

* President Obama makes official trips twice and not once did he add Nigeria , Americas biggest trading partner on the cocontine to his list of diplomatic visits.

* Obama threatens economic sanctions over Nigeria's Gay legislature.

* The United States stops buying Nigerian oil, breaking a 30 year economic ties.

*France and the United States sets up bases in the two countries bodering Nigeria.

* Iran inciting violence by supporting Nigerian Shiite muslims and threatening Nigeria with direct intervention, already its carried out Cyber Attacks against the Nigerian government.

And now we have Cameroon engaging in acts of provication by invading Nigerian territory and killing Nigerian civilians in a senseless move that bears little strategic and military significance other than to force Nigeria to take action.

WE MUST STRIKE PREEMPTIVELY.

During the Arab Israeli war Intelligence uncovered a planned massive attack against Israel by a combined force of Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Outnumbered by a ratio of 10 to one Israel stood no chance in hell. Israels best chance of survival was to pre-empt the Arab coalition. Israeli fighter jets in a suprise and unexpected attack launch a massive air campaigne against the Egyptian and Syrian airbases, destroyimg %80 of Egyptian andmSyrian airforce right on the tarmac. This action gave Israel the initiative, the rest is history.

Nigeria cannot escape confrontation with Chad and Cameroon, it is inevitable. Our Colonial Father Great Britain has all but forgotten us and will not raise a finger to our defence. The ECOWAS countries, where we spent $10 billion of our own money to bring oeace to Liberia and S-Leon is nothing but a worthless alliance. We are alone in this fight. We can dig our heads in the sand and wish it away all we want we will find the challnege waiting the moment we raise our heads. Chad has its eyes on the massive oil deposits of Borno in the lake chad region. Cameroon not satisfied with taken Bakassi from Nigeria with French support, it now has its eyes on Obudu. We must confront this clear and present danger. Cameroon troops are proviking a response in Borno, so the bulk of the Nigerian military will be deployed tot he North and Cameroon troops will stroll into Obudu.

We must cease the initiative and pre-empt their attack. Nigeria has a standing army of 150,000 men, twice the number of the Chadian and Cameroonian army combined. We must not be complacent, appeasement wont work. Nigeria must not give in without a fight. We must declare war not by announcement but by taking pre-emptive strike against targets in Chad and then call out to Russia for help. Either that or we go down in a humiliating defeat and shame.

If this is true, then we have just received a big blow from Cameron. And this comes in two ways: We lost tens of our citizens and our stubborn ones were disciplined by an outsider since our leaders have failed to....smh.

We are led by very stupid people. Whimps. For once i am ashamed to be Nigerian. Our government wont even make an official statement confirming or denying these incidents. We are whimps. In the United States when ever there us any sort of violence against citizens, wether gun violence or acts of terror the President is oblidged to speak to the American people from the Oval office as regards to the incident. In France you saw how the entire nation moved to condemn this. Here in Nigeria we call 9ut selves an African Superpower yet look at the sheer audacity of Cameroonian troops crossing into Nigeria, killing scores and going back over the border. TWICE IN GHE SPACE OF THREE WEEKS. CAN YOU IMAGINE. CHAI !!!

Nigeria is seen as a future economic power,
in fact it is predicted that the countries economy will overtake that of France in 30 years time,

by 2050 Nigeria will become the 3rd must populated country in the world overtaking the US

the world powers sees Nigeria as a threat to their African policies, with a huge and youthful population which increase workforce while theirs are getting older.

they are bent on making sure Nigeria fails and disintegrate.

on this note I will ask the fg to increase and expand ties with RUSSIA AND CHINA those are our only hope BRITAIN are US poppet

let AlaIgbi go and these troubles will cease

I don believe this.

Where is our leader?

dis is bad

Fake news

well written. took the words right out of my keyboard.

Killing spree, the naija armed forces do kill more than that weekly and nothing happened.... If to kill dey hungry you enter naija and kill her citizens as much as you want and nothing go happen.. With this king of government are we not better off in anarchy, fend and defend ourselves

My question is ; what is our leaders present and past doing with our security budget. By now, Nigeria supposed av the best of the best war equipment. 2 things works together : we are building up a national, we also building up haters.

Most of this western nation don't want Nigeria developed, they see us a challenge in future. Hence they make sure they send their agent into Nigeria to destabilize our economy. Did you think it's easy to sell a barrel at 140$ and still can't account for tangible project laid down?

Later someone will come and tell us junk statistics and Oga wil tell is, "if American can tell us we are improving, no one can challenge that".... Bla Bla Bla,!

Nigeria is in for it, and I only pray, God should intervene
And show to the world he is indeed with us

Bunch of crap peddled by Naive Nigerian youths.

If true it is further evidence Boko haram and Cameroonian troops are the same people.

They both kill civilians in Nigeria indiscriminately , clear whole communities and burn their homes.

Let us shine our eyes oo.
