Nigerias's Army caimed success against Boko Haram is far from reality

 

The destoyed camp of the Boko Haram Ahmad Salkida, the Nigerian journalist known to have access to the Boko Haram leaders, has revealed all the truth about the current state of the war against the insurgents. He claimed that the news that the deadly Boko Haram sect is hungry, disoriented, and on the run according to the Minister of Information Lai Mohammed obviously shows a direction wide away from reality, says top level security source. According to Salkida, the terrorists have displaced “extraordinary” liveliness on various fronts and have imposed heavy casualties not only on residents but on “the army which has lost a lot of its men”.

While answering about the whereabouts of the Chibok girls, the source said that contrary to the words of President Muhammadu Buhari that he has no credible intelligence on the girls; the deadly sect has given the facts and has remained resolute that their demands be met before they will free the girls. He said: “The abduction saga alone, I think has demonstrated that Boko Haram, cannot be dismissed as defeated. They have succeeded in doing what probably no group confronted by such an international coalition has ever done.” The military source continued that most of the rescues reported are conducted in villages already resized by the army. Speaking about the progress was being made in the war the source accepted that Boko Haram had lost territory and the militants which has crushed their ability to go on the offensive. However, the sources claimed that the terrorists were still able to kill soldiers, and they are holding their grounds in several areas. In addition, the deadly sect appears to be implementing new strategies much faster than awaited. Meanwhile, the media, according to investigations have been flooded with photos that only show the losses of the terrorists.

Musa Abubakar, a member of the Boko Haram told Salkida that his sect is no longer devoted to countering the misrepresentation of the media. He said: “Let people believe what they want to be told by the media of the Kufr (unbelievers), you in the media tell lies and are fed with lies. “There has never been a war where on side did not suffer any losses. “Do not forget that we are fighting soldiers from four different countries, backed by the rest of the world. “But here we are still alive, we will give everyone sleepless nights.” The Nigerian army through its spokesperson Sani Usman constantly announced the recorded success against the insurgents saying that the troops have intensified operations to clear the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists. The military claimed that at least 500 people were rescued from the insurgents while many terrorists were killed. The Nigerian Air Force bombarded the notorious hideout of the sect in Sambisa forest, destroying bases and recovering weapons. President Buhari in December announced that the Boko Haram has been technically defeated.
