Warplanes Strike Boko Haram In Borno State by bruno419(m): 7:39pm On Sep 05, 2014 |
Abuja - Nigerian warplanes are carrying out air strikes against Boko Haram militant bases in northeast Borno state, a senior official said on Friday, in a government counter-attack against the group's apparent drive to create an Islamist enclave. The official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters Nigeria's military was battling Boko Haram fighters at Bama, 70 km (45 miles) southeast of the Borno state capital Maiduguri. Air strikes have been carried out "on all the Boko Haram bases", the official said, adding this reflected President Goodluck Jonathan's order for a "fully-fledged war" against the group which has waged a bloody insurgency since 2009. Military spokesmen have denied reports Bama was overrun by heavily armed militants earlier this week after they attacked it with captured military vehicles and pick-up trucks mounted with machine guns, all part of a growing Boko Haram arsenal. "Bama today is the centre of the military battle with the terrorists ... Boko Haram is being repelled by the Nigerian troops as we are talking now," the government official said, without giving details of the operations or casualties. Nigeria's air force and defence headquarters did not respond to requests for comment and it was not immediately possible to obtain independent confirmation of the fighting. source: m.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Warplanes-strike-Boko-Haram-in-Borno-State-20140905 |

It seems Boko and FG are both fighting a war of propaganda all in an effort to confuse the masses. As it currently stands,Boko seems more credible than FG. 1 Like |

If this is true, why haven't they done it earlier? Well it's never too late. Boko Haram is not impossible to defeat. The government just has to be serious about it. Great news though 1 Like |

This reminds me of events during the biafran war when biafra's military authority was telling lies about how biafran "gallant" army were currently repelling the nigerian army from capturing Port Harcourt. Funny enough Port Harcourt had been captured by nigerian army (red scorpion and his men) 2 days before the propaganda-intended news. I bid you all welcome to the world of war-long propaganda. 2 Likes |
