Boko Haram Recaptures Gubio And Magumeri In Borno by fergie001: 8:22am On Aug 22, 2019
Exactly seven days ago, the Governor of Borno State, Umana Zulum had appealed to the people of Gubio not to flee from their homes. The residents had planned to leave for fear of the insurgents as a result of what they alleged to be a tactical withdrawal of troops from Gubio.

The Governor had assured that it was simply operational changes and nothing more and assured them of their safety.

A week later, here you have it;

Two Local Government Areas of Gubio and Magumeri in Northern Borno Senatorial District are currently under the control of Boko Haram when the insurgents in their large number launched a coordinated attack on the communities beginning from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning without confrontation.

Both Gubio and Magumeri have no military presence as troops were withdrawn recently for routine operational changes as enshrined in the Rules of Engagement.

Our Correspondent gathered that hundreds of thousands of residents have been displaced while others are under the captivity of insurgents, especially those who chose not to flee the attacks.

In Gubio, the insurgents on Wednesday evening invaded the Council Headquarters shooting sporadically, posing fear that scores of residents were killed and injured with setting ablaze of houses.

Confirming the incident, the Caretaker Chairman of Gubio, Hon Zanna Modu Gubio said, the insurgents stormed Gubio town at about 6 pm, performed their maghrib prayers at about 6:30 pm and wreaked havoc on innocent civilians with setting ablaze houses and public structures.

The Caretaker Chairman who spoke to our Correspondent while in Maiduguri during the attack said: “It is unfortunate that a week after deadly attack which took place in Gubio that led to the withdrawal of troops, another armed insurgent stormed Gubio town at about 6 pm, performed their maghrib prayers at about 6:30 pm in Gubio Mosque before wrecked havoc on innocent civilians with setting ablaze of houses and public structures.

"I am presently in Maiduguri for the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed Commissioners, and all of a sudden, I started receiving distress calls that my people are under Boko Haram attack.

“Although I cannot give you the actual number of casualties for now, from all indications and the reports I have so far, the insurgents have taken over Gubio shooting at sight and burning structures without confrontation,” Gubio lamented.

Also in Magumeri, the insurgents, before taking over, succeeded in razing down the Council Secretariat, other public structures and residential houses including that of the Member Federal House of Representatives of Gubio, Magumeri and Kaga Federal Constituency, Hon. Usman Zannah.

Speaking to our Correspondent on Thursday Morning, Hon. Zannah who represent the constituency at the lower chamber said, “Two Local Government Areas of Gubio and Magumeri where I hail from have been overrun by Boko Haram.

"As I speak, all good houses in Gubio and Magumeri have been set ablaze including my House and the Council Secretariat. My people have been displaced, and there is nothing we can do than to bring survivors into Maiduguri.

"It is unfortunate that the insurgents took advantage of troops withdrawal from the affected areas and wreaked havoc without confrontation.”

How did we get here? Yesterday I read Something about former president Obasanjo saying Boko Haram fight will last another 15 years and with the way this government is handling the situation I don't doubt that. May God have Mercy.

What's really happening in this fight against Boko Haram? Why is the government not considering changes in the military hierarchy? Even the return of all previous ministers despite lack of recordable progress is worrisome.
Are there something they are trying to protect that we don't know?
Are there more propaganda on the side of Boko Haram?
Where are the assaults of Nigeria military against the insurgent or there are no military tacticians any longer?

There are lot of happenings in this country, many we don't know and more are hidden from us but in all, you can't deceive everyone at the same time

The military withdrew from Gubio and the terrorists took over without confrontation.

It's either the military knew that those Boko rams were planning to attack and then withdrew or the Boko animals knew that the military had withdrawn and then decided to attack.

This sounds like Rome fighting with their enemies in the old the days. Northerners will never learn. They choose hardship than good. Vote buhari out and stay alive but they say know because of their quest to control power in Nigeria.

No wonder GEJ was hiring foreign mercenaries to fight Boko Haram and the mercenaries were successful in pushing them away. Because it's clear now that he didn't trust the service chiefs. They are just wasting innocent soldiers lives for nothing, they have turned Boko Haram to a business center. Advance today, withdraw tomorrow, seize 1 tank from Boko Haram today, give them 12 tanks tomorrow. Kill 100 boko haram today, sacrifice 2500 soldiers tomorrow. Send troops ahead, leak info to Boko Haram to massacre troops. Continue collecting billions of dollars from government for equipment and warfare, buy outdated weapons, send soldiers to battle with insufficient armory, pocket the rest of the money. Airforce drops bombs on Boko Haram today, tomorrow 3 airforce jets crash mysteriously. No air cover for troops again. Helicopters dropping weapons for terrorists and kidnappers inside the jungle. I pity these politicians in Abuja, like play like play, Boko Haram will soon reach Aso Rock, then they will know that God is a God of Vengeance. Wicked evil uncompassionate souls that are selling out the country to terrorists to enrich their pockets.

All I pray for is that God should intervene there in Jesus name. I can't imagine how good He has been to us, when others are looking for a roof to hide under, we still have the grace to be safe where we are.

In case you don't know the Nigerian government dictionary,

Bandits = Killer fulani herdsmen militias
Highway is secure = welcome to kidnappers den
No ransom was paid = victims rescued themselves with millions
Only 3 lives was lost in the attack = 890 people dead
Tactical withdrawal = land donated to Boko Haram
We are on top of the situation = the government has japa
No cause for alarm = calamity is 2 steps away from you
Bail is free = no receipt after payment

After seeing how the army helped a notorious criminal escape in Taraba and the attempts of the military to hide and cover up the facts, I'm not surprised again.
