Chief
ABUJA—Some prominent
politicians are presently being
interrogated following the
discovery of their identity cards
and other incriminating items
when troops destroyed
terrorists’ camp in Balmo Forest,
Bauchi State last week.
The Coordinator of the National
Information Centre, NIC, Mr.
Mike Omeri, told newsmen in
Abuja, yesterday: “Following the
last successful operation carried
out by security forces to
dislodge terrorists from their
forest bases in Darazo Local
Government Area end of Balmo
Forest, some politicians are
currently being interrogated
following the recovery of some
sensitive registration cards and
other materials of a prominent
political party that were found in
the possession of some of the
suspects arrested.
“Those who are being
interrogated are prominent
politicians belonging to a
frontline political party. Troops
even recovered the identity
cards of some of the politicians.”
He, however, declined to
mention any particular party.
Faults pro-Chibok girls groups
Omeri, who has been
coordinating information
regarding the efforts towards
finding the Chibok schoolgirls,
decried the activities of some
organisations and individuals
championing the cause of the
abducted girls as, according to
him, they were aiding
insurgency in the country.
He said: “Some of these groups
are augmenting and
supplementing terrorists by their
activities because they create
diversion for security operatives
from promptly responding to
insurgent activities.”
Responding to a question, Army
spokesman, Major General Chris
Olukolade insisted that the
military and other security
agencies were getting results in
their fight against terror.
He noted that the regular arrests
of terrorists and their backers
were indicative of such results
which should be encouraging to
all Nigerians.
He said: “Nigerians should be
assured that there is hope of
finding and bringing back the
girls; there is hope that the
terrorists will be defeated and
good progress is being made.
“We told you earlier that over
250 sorties have been flown
while President Goodluck
Jonathan once announced that
over 20,000 troops have been
deployed.”
‘BringBackOurgirls deceives
public’
Spokesperson for the
Department of State Services,
DSS, Mrs. Marilyn Ogar, accused
the BringBackOurGirls
campaigners of turning the issue
into a franchise.
She said: “BringBackOurGirls
movement has become a
franchise and security forces
know what they are up to. If it is
an ordinary movement seeking
to pile pressure on government
or security agencies to free
these girls, there will be no need
for the group to begin to have
tags and insist that you must be
registered.
“Security forces also know that
they have bank accounts. We
also know that they want to
simulate a protest march inside
Asokoro Extension in Abuja and
claim that they were doing so
inside Sambi-sa Forest, to be
reported in some foreign media.
Getting security training
“We also know that they brought
in some experts from outside
the country to teach them how
to beat security when they are
demonstrating; to withstand
police teargas and security
operations. We are waiting to
see when these things would
work.
“We also know that they are
dividing themselves into groups
and zones giving each other
specific assignments.
“They were also paying courtesy
calls to money bags to solicit
support. It is getting very
ridiculous, but we are still
watching.
“There is no need to hire people
to come and claim that they
have children among the girls
that were abducted. It has
become a franchise or why
would those involved in the
movement decide to carry out
smear campaign against certain
government officials?
“If we have to fight for our
rights, let us genuinely fight for
our rights by being more
transparent.” Source www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/insurgency-army-finds-links-politicians-balmo-forest/

Just go ahead and mention the name of Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden of the "Blood will flow" fame, since the whole word knows that critter to be a terrorist instigator and financier.

this fvckheads ain't smart one bit. so politicians will go to a terrorist den and drop their identity card. abeg sell me another lie joor.

We need names to show your seriousness, Mr. Omeri. It's rather ironical to me how Janjaweedians will leave a trace such as identity cards with their boko boys

So they'll incriminate themselves by physically going to the forest and then leaving their identities behind?

anago18:
I am here to express my support for the concept of turning Nigeria into a fundamentalist amputation republic, like my mentor Buhari of the sore election loser fame. In my spare time I torture small animals to death, and I hate everyone who hates my Ayatollah.

Thank you for the above declaration, Anago. You are absolutely right that Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden stands out from the crowd, both in terms of his demonic character, as well as his desperate ambition to be the last of "Nigeria's Born to Rule" treasury-looting class.

It is not too late for you to repent your misdirected ways, good sir. Join TODAY the forces of righteousness who will not flag or relent until that glorious day when the living world FINALLY bids farewell to that demented scare-crow looking muffuguh Buhari. Join the RIGHT side Young Grasshopper, and all your mortal sins, including your blurting out those angry words of confession above, will be forgiven in the spirit of reconciliation.

Buhari must go NOW !
