The Defence Headquarters, Abuja, yesterday blamed the
weather and informants for the recent Boko Haram killings,
including the attacks on an oil exploration team and the
University of Maiduguri lecturers.
The Director of Defence Information, Major Gen. John
Enenche, while speaking on Channels Television, claimed
that there was a collaboration with the terrorists as the
insurgents didn’t attack other convoys apart from the oil
exploration team




Enenche stated, “On the Boko Haram attacks, weather
affects our operations; it is true. Just like the rainy season
affects transportation, it is on our side too. The impact zone
of a bomb is highly reduced during rainy season. The
hardness of the ground is also a factor to give effect to
shrapnel to eliminate the enemies.
“Our movement is also affected in the rainy season. To take
off an aircraft, you have to consider the weather. I am yet
to see an aircraft that can fly in all kinds of weather. But it
is not that the terrorists have taken all the territory. No, I
believe that we will overcome this.



“I did a tactical operational analysis of this attack (oil
exploration team). It was not without information. The
nature of this incident is strongly information-bound. There
were collaborators and fifth-columnists.
“Otherwise, how come the insurgents did not attack them
on the first day when they finished the exercise with the
soldiers? So, they had an informant who gave the terrorists
information and ensured that they came to a place where
they could easily be ambushed. This is it.”
On the orders to relocate to Borno State given by Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo, the defence spokesman said the
service chiefs had complied, adding that it was simply to
boost the troops’ morale.
“We cannot really say the Armed Forces are not on top of
the situation. The pockets of attacks here and there are
strongly based on information from their terrorists’
collaborators who are still among us.



“On the vice-president’s instructions to go back to the
command centre, the Chief of Army Staff and the Chief of
Air Staff are fully in coordination of the operations and
their presence will boost the morale of the troops,” he said.

Just negodu!!

They should not have been left vulnerable.
The BH sect has insiders loyal to jihad and they also have sponsors over there in Borno who equip them, protect and regroup them.

If you don't start arresting these sponsors and you hope to defeat BH then you are only going to be moving in circles.

If this is coming from the Defense Headquarters, then its a total shame.

No reason should be considered enough to hold you back sir.. You have everything at your disposal..

God is watching you. "Boko Haram has been technically defeated " in Lai Mohammed 's voice.

I thought there is no network anywhere in borno apart from Maiduguri

Someone shld pls help us gag d Nigerian Army... Abeg make dem help us shut up because it's becoming more embarrassing each tym dey giv a statement... How can d Army giv an excuse as dumb as "weather and informants"... Dis is becoming a public show of shame.. And to think d govt dat blamed our overdependence on oil and made noise every time about d need to diversify is still spending billions in prospecting for d same oil is a matter for anoda day...

But the weather did not stop boko haram from attacking, chai

.

Worst govt in our history, they are not only inept but they also lie too much ..

Competent army weather the storm and come out with results.... This statement released by defense headquarters only emboldens Boko Haram insurgents. All the girls released and insurgents arrested so far does it mean no reliable Intel come from them that will help the military coordinate strikes against Boko boys. I just weak for our Army cuz what they know how to do more is to shoot defenseless shites and IPOB members.

Blames whether and informant? Informant, Yes but whether? All those trainings they receive ought to have made this a minor issue.

No excuse for failure

Chai.... its well though....

This is just embarrassing...

Oh please. Cut the crap. Kanu is not responsible for nothing.
If someone should take the credit it should be the militants in the ND.

Besides, you really believe there is no oil in the North?
Stop coming here to post trash out of ignorance.
