Boko Haram Retakes Border Town From Army by bishopjoe02(m): 10:23pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
Maiduguri - Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have forced hundreds of soldiers to flee Marte, a border town along the shores of the Lake Chad, a local official and witnesses said Friday. "The terrorists, numbering over 2,000, appeared from various directions on Thursday and engaged the soldiers in Kirenowa town and adjoining communities in Marte," said Imamu Habeeb, a local community leader. "They fought with soldiers over the night and the fight continued today (Friday), forcing hundreds of soldiers to flee," he added from Borno state capital Maiduguri. Local fighter Shehu Dan Baiwa said the more than 2,000 fighters had been armed with bombs and tanks. "They used the weapons without restraint and succeeded in killing several people," he said. This is the third time Boko Haram has seized control of Marte in Borno state. The city is among several retaken in recent weeks by the military, which has launched an offensive against the Islamists as part of a regional operation supported by Chad, Cameroon and Niger. But Boko Haram have been fighting back, and Nigerian troops were also forced to retreat from Boko Haram's Sambisa Forest stronghold this week after a landmine blast killed one soldier and three vigilantes. A senior local politician confirmed, on condition of anonymity, that the insurgents had retaken Marte. "We lost many (people) because some of our people that fled to Chad and Cameroon have return after Nigerian troops recovered the town recently," he added. A senior military official confirmed the attack on Marte, but refused to say whether Boko Haram had retaken the town, describing the army's retreat as "strategic". http://m.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Boko-Haram-retakes-border-town-from-army-20150425 |

[size=18pt] So let me get this straight. Rag tag Boko Haram is defeating not only the great Nigerian military, but the militaries of Chad, Cameroon and Niger with assistance of France and America. If you do not smell a grand deception, then you would believe anything. This is why I fear General Buhari would be prevented by any means necessary from fulfilling his mandate. America who is conspiring to disintegrate Nigeria in 2015, is behind the Boko Haram deception, and America knows that Buhari has to be removed before he wrecks their evil plan and expose the genocide committed using the smokescreen of Boko Haram .[/size] iykofias: |

America wanted GEJ to rig but he was unable win despite rigging. America fakes support for Buhari so that they would not be blamed if or when Nigerians are disenfranchised; and if GEJ loses they would be viewed as supporting the democracy and peoples choice. wakacome: |
