Suspected members of Boko Haram militants are currently launching an attack on Geidam, the home town of Governor Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe state, locals say.

Terrified residents said that sporadic gunshots were being heard in the town.

Geidam is about 180 kilometers from the state capital, Damaturu. It is also a border town between Nigeria and the Republic of Niger.




A resident said he noticed the movement of seven pick up vans moving through the town believed to be conveying members of the terrorist group.
A resident said: “There had been ceaseless shooting. Everyone is indoor right now and no one can say exactly what is happening outside but I saw seven pick-up vans coming into the town from the direction of Niger Republic.”

Another resident said they learnt military re-enforcements were coming from Gashua and Damaturu but that could not be confirmed.
The military spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
But the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Toyin Gbadegesin, who confirmed the attack said “the militants are currently making efforts to invade the town but security forces on ground are well in control of the situation”

The PPRO said security forces are well aware of their responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the people and urged them to remain calm and go about their normal businesses.
He also called on the people “to continue to partner with security agents towards the restoration of peace in the state and the country at large.
Earlier in the day, gunmen believed to be Boko Haram had launched suicide attacks in three different locations in Damaturu, killing at least 17 and injuring 11.

Geidam town last came under attack in March this year with residents fleeing into Meine-Soroa of Niger republic and other major towns in the state before returning to their homes weeks after the restoration of peace in the area.

If only they know the amount of miscreants that can be brained washed in one sitting... They'd divert their focus to the sponsors.

This has become war, its either the boko haram starting hiring civilians or civilians start hiring soldiers but the boko haram has kill more than 10,000 civilians(government) while solidiers have killed 2000 boko boys (anti-government).

To me boko haram are winning the war, we should not be smiling and suffering anyway, mobuch kukuma don tell me to go join soldier in bonny camp. I have no choice anyway, can't wait until boko haram plant bomb inside the only cross service night I dey manage for redeem church.

Let us unite, join the soldiers and go to and destroy the entire maiduguri and its people, I think everyone inside that state are boko haram. No mercy. No pampering, no pity anymore

I seriously doubt the claim by the aforementioned individual. According to ChannelsTV, news track, the situation has been brought under control. The Nigerian army successfully repeled the attacks and the insurgents fled. Geidam is still under the control of the Nigerian government. And besides, his post smarks of irregularities.

The security agencies should just come out and tell us they have no clues on the big fish who are financing these terrorists. Until we start apprehending the sponsors home or abroad, this constant BH harassment will continue.

I refuse to believe that the hungry looking traders caught every now and then are solely financially responsible for BH. Behind every terror organisation is a wealthy nation or individuals. Quote me anywhere.

In all honesty, neither GEJ or PMB is to blame. If, anything, we are all to blame. The BOKO HARAM sect fooled everyone. This guys are smart, perhaps, even smarter than us. They know the Nigerian way of reasoning. During the GEJ years, they made sure they looked anti-GEJ and pro-PMB, up to the point that BUHARI, even secretly believed they were fighting for his cause. Immediately, PMB was sworn in, they reversed their stand and started passing the message that they are anti-PMB. Everything they have done in the last one month as been directed at attacking the President, even going as far as attacking a housing estate named after the President. The government is utterly confused, and don't know what to do. Because, by Buhari's postulations, the sect would have either gone into oblivion or surrended by now. The danger is that on March 28, we gave the sect the belief that they can change our government, by their actions. The government was PDP, and now APC and later will become PDP again, but BOKO HARAM will remain the same, but unfortunately for us, only they, are aware of this FACT.
