Peace In Yobe As Suspected Terrorists Are Arrested by Idokojimmy: 5:45am On Jun 06, 2013
BY KINGSLEY OMONOBI

ABUJA—The Defence headquarters said, Wednesday, that 49 suspected Boko Haram terrorists were apprehended in various locations in Yobe State by troops, following a tip off by locals in some communities.

A statement by the Director of Public Relations, Brig-General Chris Olukolade, noted that the arrests which were made during cordon and search operation, also witnessed the recovery of various weapons.

Olukolade said weapons such as AK 47 rifles, locally made pistols and ammunition were recovered by the troops who combed such villages as Rugan Fulani, Arikime, Afghanistan and Ngandu villages”.

He said: “Police stations are now being reopened in some parts of Borno State. At Kirenowa, detachments of the Police anti-terrorist unit have been deployed to complement security in the area.

“A key terrorist who specializes in recruiting young men into the Boko Haram fold has been apprehended by troops in Maiduguri following a tip off.

“The same individual who also watches over the insurgents’ armoury was arrested in one of the cordon and search operations by the special forces.

“Another group of five insurgents,, all Nigeriens were arrested when troops stormed their hideout at Mallam Fatori as they attempted to escape in two Toyota Cruiser Jeeps.

“Troops continue to patrol the notorious Sambisa forest and are also cordoning the Alou forest and Gwoza hills. More abandoned vehicles, weapons and other items are being recovered in the camps of the insurgents.

“Among the recent discovery are rifles, double barrel guns, various charms and amulets, machine guns, as well as pairs of camouflage uniforms, bows and quiver and assorted rifle magazine”.

“Others are handset, walkie talkie, car number plates and some food items. Abandoned vehicles recovered include, a Golf Car, a Honda, Customs Pickup Van, Honda (2003 Model) and a Volkswagen Monte Carlo.”

The feat of restoring peace to Yobe State and arrest of 49 terrorists with the help of locals was broken to the Defence Headquarters Operation Assessment Team in Damaturu.

The team, led by Air Commodore BE Inyang, was also informed that all the camps of the terrorists in the area had been dislodged as some of the insurgents fled towards Niger Republic.

The DHQ team was also informed of a trend where some particular crimes had now taken the place of terrorism as the criminals now resort to brigandage, robbery and attempted assassination of business rivals.

If calm has returned to Yobe, isn't it a demostration that the state of emergency has succeeded? Now, the present situatioon has has further exposed the northern elders forum andd others like Buhari who faulted the declaration to ridicule. We commend the Military and the SSS for a job weldone. Go boys, we are proud of u guys.

This is what was expected. But one should know that the back movement of a Ram is to get reinforcement/power. They may form again if they get the requested support from their 'brothers'.

This moment calls for collaborative efforts of northerrn stakeholders to end this insecurity. This is the time the ACF and NEF should have used to lure those insurgents to lay down their weapon, noting that the game is over, while also sensitising others on the need for a peaceful society. They won't do that cos they enjoy media reports on the death of nigerians and the destructions of Govt infrastructures and installations. Afterall, their sole desire is to make the polity ungovernable.

Good news. I hope the people of the north and ethnic bigots would appreciate this. I think why Buhari discredited the Soe is that, if its successful, Jonathan would have scored a major political point against him. Am sure he thought the crisis would last till he becomes president and had imagined himself being honoured as the one who stopped the terrorists activities. Just sorry for him, his dream must have been shattered right in his face.
Good one for we as a country. Yes! We can!

The issue is not winning the war. It is winning the peace! Has Nigeria not learnt any lesson from Afghanistan and Iraq. American defeated AlQaeda and the Taliban in 2001 and drove them out of Afghanistan. However there arose attacks by the Taliban and Alqaeda and the American troops have had a hard time putting down the Taliban (Haqqani). Though these two groups would have been crushed to a level that would have made them close to irrelevant if not for Pakistani meddling, the point is clear.

That of Iraq was even worse, American probably withing 7weeks toppled the Saddam regime but the insurgency that arose was frightening and it took a surge Of 30,000 extra U.S troops to quell to more tolerable levels. The cvountry is still reeling from Sunni inspired attacks.

If government is serious, that should mount the best anti-insurgency strategy that is by bringing lots of AID, welfare and development to the 3 affected states. Poverty, illiteracy and hardship should be tackled head on

Let me help you out.

WE NEED MORE TROOPS TO COVER EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY OF THESE STATES TO KILL THE BOKITES, THEIR SUPPORTERS, THEIR WIVES, CHILDREN (BORN AND UNBORN), CATTLE, ETC.

People need to be real afraid of the Naija army. We need Americans to hear of the Nigerian Army and shudder at how efficient they are in mass slaughter. The US needs to learn from us how to deal with such insurgency in months, not years.

Are you clear now?
