The Nigerian Army on Monday rescued the wife and daughter of Shehu of Bama from the Boko Haram enclave in Borno.

The Emir’s wife and two of her children were abducted by Boko Haram fighters two years ago.
While the queen and her daughter have regained their freedom, the second child, the son was killed by the insurgents few months after the abduction.

Details of the rescue operations were still sketchy at the time of filing this report, but the queen and her daughter have been taken to the Emir’s residence in Maiduguri, by the General Officer Commanding, 7 Division of Nigeria Army, Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu.

They were reportedly rescued during a clearance operation by soldiers.

An eyewitness told our correspondent that the palace was packed with emotions and mixed feeling when the Emir’s wife was brought into the palace.

The Emir, IBN Kyari El kanemi, according to the eyewitness, wept uncontrollably when he sighted his wife.

“We are happy to see our queen and her daughter back. But we learnt that Boko Haram fighters killed her son who was kidnapped along with his mum,” a family source told our correspondent.

Boko Haram are Buhari's boys. The very moment Buhari won the election, I knew Boko Haram's activities will reduce. I also knew militancy will be on the rise. It's simple logic. Politics in Nigeria has been reduced to tribal war. It's a pity.

Then it will also be logical to conclude Niger Delta Avengers and Militants are GEJ boys who also went on rampage as soon as their Boss lost election.

I am sure you have no single evidence for your claim.

But if we must use your warped logic, it's right to say GEJ is behind Niger Delta Avengers and MEND and other militancy problems bedevilling us.
