You can't tell me just from the sounds of gun shot you cld tell that the BH boys were better armed than our soldiers. Besides,how cld u have differentiated which was the Army's gun shot and which was not? Sounds like a Buharist to me. 10 Likes |

Boko Haram came to Damaturu immediately after Subhir prayers. They surrounded the town from three front, One team headed straight from Gujuba to Yobe State University. Another team headed past the MOPOL base to the city thru New Jerusalem and the last group took position just behind the JTF HQ. The mission of the first group is to demolished any resistant from the MOPOL as they are the first group of security formation they will encounter along the way. This will effectively give them free passage to the Government House which is just about 5-6km from the MOPOL base. Attacking the Government House comes with two advantage, one it is the seat of the Government and secondly just besides the Government House is a military detention facility known as Gontanamo Bay. It is believed that senior members of Boko Haram are under detention in that facility. One will expect Boko Haram will make attempt at releasing some of their members as they did in Giwa barracks. The last group heads straight to JTF HQ. Their mission probably is to get hold of some new procurement of military hardwares the JTF have been testing for quite some time. To Be Continue. 3 Likes |

The rate at which unconfirmed and unsubstantiated news are hitting the front page these days are quite alarming! In Seun's bid to satisfy the hay pee cee bed fellows, the credibility of NL is going to the 'dogs'. While I personally understand the need for fairness and equality, having it at the expense of confusion, and promoting propganda is unacceptable! It is not by force to have opposition news on the front page especially when they have nothing to offer. This morning it was human rights takes GEJ to court for abuses. This topic was later chainged to NGO's rather than human rights as earlier speedily put up on the front page. Seun and the mods be guided! Maintain professionalism, don't be pressured into promoting hay pee cee's propaganda agenda just to save face or appear neutral. Most news from these fellows (hay pee cee) are from unknown blogs and cooked up websites. Do your best to feed Nigerians the true and accurate news especially on the front page. Thanks! 6 Likes |

The First group successfully over ran the MOPOL base despite brave resistance from the boys. They then join up with the second group and lunched a daring attack at the Government House. At the initial stage they seemed to have the upper hand, but a combination of Special forces and Police CTU guarding the Government House, they overcome the initial attack and inflicted massive casualty on the Boko Haram members. After suffering losses, they regroup and lunch another attack, that was when military Jets and Attack helicopters came in from Yola and started shelling them. Many where killed, many scattered to various direction. While retreating, they started setting houses on fire and they returned back to the MOPOL base and burnt the entire structures. Not done with they burnt the admin block of the Yobe state university, which I was told was the only structure affected. The last group of fighters consisted of some of Boko Haram hardened and tested fighter where tasked with taking over the JTF HQ. That group came with suicide bombers, one suicide bomber rammed his explosives ridden vehicle at the gate of the JTF HQ while fighting was on going. But miraculously, the bomb refused to detonate, the suicide bomber came out of the vehicle and attempted to detonate the bomb manually before he was taken down by multiple burst of fire from our gallant troops. Seeing that their suicide attempt at getting into the JTF HQ is gone they retreated after coming under heavy helicopters gunshot. Many where also killed and reports reaching me indicate that some Boko Haram members where bombed while retreating back to Gujuba. A handful of them where arrested after the civilian JTF entered into the battle. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

HERE ARE THE MISTAKES. One military strategy that should always be used while defending a territory is the use of BUFFER ZONES. Turkey is trying to create a buffer zones btw them and Syria. Israel maintain the Golan height as a buffer zone btw them and Syria. The 7division in Maiduguri realized the need for buffer zone that's why they defended Kodunga the last town before Maiduguri with all they had. That's was the reason Boko Haram attempted to take Kodunga 5 times before they back off. Boko Haram invaded and took control of Gujuba 2 months ago. Gujuba is the last LGA about 50km to Damaturu. Practically, Damaturu was a town awaiting to be annexed since the last 2 months, because just some few check points separated Boko Haram from Damaturu. I still can't find the reason why the NA allow Boko Haram to consolidate their hold of Gujuba for 2 months without any attempt to recapture it back. Todays attack came from that same Gujuba and any attack hence forth directed at Damaturu will emanate from Gujuba. 12 Likes |
