the 'stolen APC' story is NOT from nigerian military Brig, Gen Chris Olukolade, it was from newspaper journalists who were surely not there at 3am in the darkness when the fighting took place and every civilian was hiding under his bed with his wife and kids.

let the journalist, or you, or even boko haram show us photo of a nigerian army Cobra APC driven by boko haram.

you think driving around a modern Cobra APC, maintaining the european modern vehicle for battle is just like driving a toyota 4runner...fool grin

.

Spare us. It's irrelevant who the story is from. The story clearly says there were witnesses. Good to see you've given up your ridiculous demand for photos and that it now sits in-between half-hearted arguments.

Soak up the facts in humility. You were sitting happily in Lagos when this happened. Therefore, the journalist thumps you.

And you'll get photos the moment you withdraw every single post of yours that isn't accompanied by photos - and that's lots.

You are embarrassing yourself. I refuse to scramble for photos. It's up to you to despute what's been posted in as part of a witness-sourced story.

You weren't there. No one has to listen to you.

The witnesses were there.

And lest we forget, this is what the witnesses say:

http://mg.co.za/article/2013-12-05-boko-haram-lashes-out

"Officials and eyewitnesses recount the militant Muslim fundamentalist group's audacious attack on a military base, which left many killed and injured.Monday’s attack was one of its most dramatic and reportedly comprised up to 500 militants. In trucks and a stolen armoured personnel carrier, they laid siege to air force and army bases, razing buildings and setting shops and petrol stations ablaze on the outskirts of Maiduguri, the city where Boko Haram was founded."

Analysis: Resilient Boko Haram an increasing threat
By ZACHARY ELKAIMDecember 4, 2013


Boko Haram's latest attack in Maiduguri has been described as its most audacious yet. In the early hours of Monday morning hundreds of Boko Haram militants stormed the city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, in an assault that left scores of people dead. The estimated number of fighters ranged from 300 to 500, and according to one Nigerian intelligence officer, they entered Maiduguri "from the bush, chanting 'Allahu Akbar.'" Once they arrived in the city, the fighters attacked the Maiduguri Airport, a Nigerian Air Force Base, and various locations around the base. The use of both explosives and RPGs has been confirmed.

The attack has caused a political storm in Nigeria. A new political coalition, now one of Nigeria's largest opposition parties, has called for a probe into intelligence failures before the attack, and questioned how several hundred militants could strike a military facility in a large city without prior warning. President Goodluck Jonathan is said to be furious over the incident, and there are allegations in the Nigerian press that "heads may roll" if assertions of sabotage and negligence of duty are proved true. With new accusations that the military's offensive against Boko Haram has been a failure, things are likely to get worse even while discussions take place as to how to make things better.

The government had recently extended emergency rule in Borno as well as in the nearby states of Adamawa and Yobe, in an effort to crush the Boko Haram insurgency. Despite the fact that there are over 8,000 troops now deployed in these states, they have obviously not been successful and the International Criminal Court has officially designated Nigeria as embroiled in a civil war. The situation was so bad last month that President Jonathan was asked to cancel the visit of Bill Gates for fear it may trigger Boko Haram attacks on polio workers.

The ability of Boko Haram fighters to escape into other countries has also greatly frustrated Nigeria. A Borno state official recently accused Cameroonian authorities of habitually refusing to arrest or chase Boko Haram militants fleeing across the border after carrying out attacks in Nigeria. Although a regional strategy would be ideal for Nigeria, Cameroon has shown little interest in the problem, while Niger and Chad do not have adequate resources to help. A member of Boko Haram captured by the military in Maiduguri claimed that the group has members from each of these countries actively taking part in the insurgency. Furthermore, United Nations officials have stated that they think Boko Haram is now active on the ground in Central African Republic.

But of more immediate concern for Nigerian officials is that Christmas is fast approaching - a period during which, since 2010, Boko Haram has been particularly active. On Christmas Eve of that year, Boko Haram targeted Christians in a campaign of improvised explosive device (IED) attacks that left 80 dead. On Christmas Day 2011, at least 37 people were killed during morning Mass at the Saint Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla near Abuja, and at least three died in four other bomb attacks that day. Last year, Boko Haram declared its intention to "eradicate Christians from certain parts of the country," and is believed to be behind two separate Christmas Eve attacks; one that killed at least six Christians and burned down a church Yobe, and another that killed six in Maiduguri.

If the recent attack in Maiduguri is any indication, Boko Haram has shifted its tactics and grown more sophisticated. The group is now prepared to directly attack military installations, and in large numbers. This is particularly striking since the attack took place just one week after the Nigerian military claimed it had cleared the terror group from bases in the Sambisa forest and that more than 100 Boko Haram fighters had been killed during the assault.


Additionally, there are now reports of both suspected insider collaboration and that the attack took place as Nigerian Special Forces were planning one of their biggest offensives against the group. According to one source, Boko Haram successfully planted IEDs before the attack, and the authorities strongly believe "that this incident was made possible by insiders' collaboration in terms of giving them information." This means that Boko Haram may well have a better intelligence network than the Nigerian military.

With Boko Haram escalating its activities, this year's Christmas season could be one of the most telling periods for a Nigerian government desperate to prove that it is capable of putting down the insurrection

Director, Air Force Information, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, said in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Monday that apart from the 684 personnel of the Army, the Nigerian Air Force had also flown back 93 tonnes of equipment that were sent to Mali alongside the military personnel.

...

Anas was reacting to insinuations that issues bordering on funding had made the Nigerian military to leave behind some of the support equipment deployed for the Mali operation in the Francophone country in spite of the decision by Nigeria to pull out in July, 2013.

...

He said, “We have flown so many of their equipment back from mission areas. Capital project is not about operational readiness; it is not directly affecting operational readiness, we have two C-130 in operation. We have flown 27 missions, and 684 troops have been brought back in those missions, including their equipment, field kitchen, medicals and others.

...

“In these missions, we have also brought back 93 tonnes, 14 vehicles and we need only one more mission to complete the process of getting them back to the country.”
