Firstly, we
would like to thank everyone for the support pouring in, in response to
our calls for assistance and contributions towards the obligatory
mission to free our 200 abducted daughters. The promises from so many
blessed youth, to head to the conflict zone and join the effort to
rescue our girls and sack the terrorists out of their comfortable camps,
is beyond words. May the Almighty protect and reward you in the ways
that He only can.
Nigerians and
the world must know what the true situation in Sambisa and other forests
in Borno is. It was in the media that the families who ventured in
pursuit of their daughters turned back when they approached the
terrorist camps. The media reported that what they saw, was “serious,”
but they will not say it for security concerns. We are obligated to
reveal what they saw.
Inside Sambisa Game Reserve
From the
credible participants we spoke to, the camps are real and live. The
civilians actually reached the Boko Haram camps in Sambisa four days
ago. The mission was led by the army division in Borno, who were in the
front, while the civilians followed behind.
Upon reaching
the periphery of the camp and realizing the threat they faced, the
civilians were advised to turn back. When they asked if the military
would engage the terrorists, the army commanders responded, “we were
given no such directive.”
Boko Haram
camps in Sambisa are not hidden. The terrorists camp in clear sight. The
camp seen housed thousands of terrorists and their abducted families,
up to 3000 people by conservative estimates. The terrorists were seen
walking freely in the camps, living a very normal life. Women were seen
in the camps, these included the hundreds of women who have been
abducted over the years.
The camps were
kitted with generators delivering power to their devices. There were
fridges, welding machines and all other household and technical
equipments.
Over 100
trampoline tents were seen, in which the terrorists dwell. It is not yet
rainy season in Borno, so not much shelter is yet utilized.
We were informed that over 50 vehicles were seen in the Sambisa camp. There were hundreds to thousands of motorcycles.
After the
civilians turned back and returned to the metropolis, it was related
that the army too came back, evidently having not engaged Boko Haram in
any physical way. For them it was just another day, another month in
another year, scouting the Boko Haram ‘barracks.’ The situation s the
same in other forests like Banki and Buniyadi, according to the credible
people we spoke to.
The Desperate State Of Insecurity
With the above
registered, the world must recognize that there is evidently a standing
accord between Boko Haram and the Nigerian military. The military knows
and has always known where they hide in plain sight, but is either not
equipped, or not interested in ending their reign of terror.
A recent media
report in the Vanguard described how a US-based StrategyPage report
presented that Boko Haram terrorists were so wealthy; they had actually
bought government and security officials over. The source of Boko Haram
funding has never been exposed to the people. The Nigerian government
continues to cover this up, protecting the sponsors; thus the four year
long reign of unlimited sponsored terror with absolute impunity is far
from its end. Like the government, Boko Haram thrives on the explosive
state of corruption.
Boko Haram
invests way more than Nigeria does in equipping and boosting the morale
of its army. Boko Haram is today an institution and a well functioning
one that pays top dollar to purchase tentacles at all levels of society.
Fear and corruption facilitate its growth in this regard. In contrast,
the Nigerian government sabotages its army and underfunds and
under-equips them. A latest report by the BBC revealed that Boko Haram
pays $3000 to purchase mercenary recruits from neighboring countries
like Niger. Increasingly perplexed by the course of the war, Nigerian
soldiers have been deserting the army according to several reports and
military sources.
They are
frustrated as they realize there is no honest intention to combat the
terrorists whose locations are known and are left to operate freely.
Soldiers are approaching activists to volunteer their services in a true
battle they believe in, after they leave the Nigerian army.
Nigeria is in
trouble! We the people know and realize that this situation must be
checked in Yar’Adua style—eliminated in totality. Boko Haram must be
starved to desperation in their camps and the terrorists must be engaged
and killed without remorse. A similar conflict between Nigeria and Chad
in the 80’s had the Nigerian army under then Brigadier Muhammadu
Buhari, with the 21st Armored Brigade, cut supplies and starve the Habre
Chadian troops, thus retaking the 19 Nigerian islands.
The efficiency
of the Nigerian army is also fondly recollected in its commanding role
in solving the Liberian crises. But today, our army cannot capture
Sambisa. They are not engaging Boko Haram with any determination to win
by any method whatsoever, under whatever directives they have from
Abuja; and now it is way passed time we the people do this for
ourselves. We simply have no other choice.
Furthermore,
our reliable suppositions were again confirmed today with the arrest of
some of the “unknown 100 gunmen,” usually reported as “Fulani herdsmen”
who have been ravaging the middle belt since 2012; these men confessed
according to the DHQ, to being part of Boko Haram. We have analyzed
their mission and operations which have involved the massacre of towns
and burning all in sight, as being coincident with the mission of Boko
Haram: ultimate goal, the destruction of life in large parts of north
Nigeria.
If further
studied, these “100 men” not only dressed and killed and destroyed just
like Boko Haram; but also started off provoking ethnic crises, first
attacking “Christians,” and when this failed, they as with the primary
Boko Haram now moved to the full massacre of all towns, irrespective of
creed or ethnicity. The gunmen arrested and displayed looked anything
but Fulani; supporting this realization, in times past, some killed
marauders have been described as foreign mercenaries. The chronic
misinformation on the mission and identities of these marauders and
failure of the government to accost them for a whole three years,
suggests a sinister, pervasive plan to purposely provoke deadly ethnic
tensions in Nigeria.
Trust Breakdown: The State Security Department Takes To Lying
Nigeria’s
military and security department has taken to lying to cover their wrong
actions or inaction. They lied about the number of girls abducted. They
made up an imaginary number they claimed they had freed. They lie about
how many are killed and how many they kill in millions. The most recent
lie was made by the junior minister of defense, Musiliu Obanikoro who
said so on Channels TV, Monday, that no helicopters were used to supply
terrorists. This is a categorical lie.
We have
confirmed from numerous sources including released abductees, who
described how choppers flew in to the camps and dropped Mr. Biggs
snacks, chicken, burgers and things, bought from the Borno metropolis.
There is no doubt as to the accuracy of this information.
Apparently
there is cooperation with the military and treacherous military
cover-up. We the people must act and time is running out. Soon Boko
Haram will be too big to contain and then they can over throw not just
the north, but the entire nation as has happened and been attempted by
terrorists in neighboring nations and across the world. The time to act
is now.
It has been
four years that this terror has been going on unchecked and
distressingly, increasing in amplitude by the day. The bombing of Nyanya
was reviewed by Brian Michael Jenkins and Bruce R. Butterworth, the
terrorism experts from the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI), as
being the fifth worst episode of such explosives attack in any nation
across the entire world since 1970!
The abduction
of 234 girls is another topper on the list of few similar abductions in
recent world history. The president of Nigeria flew in his hoards of
private jets first to Ibadan for a birthday party, then to Kano to dance
at a pre-legally permitted campaign rally within a day of the attacks,
in a show of disconnect from the terror situation and possible uncanny
delight. The incompetence and lack of interest of our current
administration in handling this epic crises is not debated and not a
today topic. The current reality necessitates the response and active
action of the people before all hope is lost along with the lives and
limbs being blown away.
Self Help: Embarking on Urgent Civilian Intervention
We are
recruiting all support, supplies and volunteers to surround and
eliminate Boko Haram in their forest camps. This is a dangerous task,
but the Almighty will give us the strength and victory against these
enemies of the state, of peace, of man and God.
Time is of the
essence. We do not know what these 200 girls are going through, the type
of horrific molestation in the hands of these beasts. *God forbid! And
not only them, so many of our fellow citizens, mothers, sisters,
daughters, brothers, fathers and sons have been trapped with the
terrorists for years. It is time for us to do for them what we would
want them to do for us, had it been us in the camps or our daughters
there.
The parents
have vowed to dare again into the forests to rescue their wards. By
God’s grace, many of us will go with them. We will also assist them with
all the supplies they may need.
We Need Everybody
We invite a
homogeneous response from Muslims, Christians and others alike. The
Doctor Amadi (JP), Muslims Against Terror organization, who are deeply
involved in this rescue mission, it can be recollected played a vital
role in reversing a Boko Haram trend of bombing Churches in 2012 when
they released the Communiqué captioned, “Official Communiqué from
Muslims Against Terror, Nigeria: Fear None Save Allah. Defend Islam,
Defend People, Defend Churches, Defend our Nation.” Many of us read this
strong message, and supported by calls of the same from Sheikh Gumi as
relayed on SaharaReporters, Boko Haram left Churches alone and declared
Muslims their new top enemy; they have since killed numerous Muslim
scholars.
We are all in this together. See MuslimsAgainstTerror The more we come together, the more frustrated Boko Haram and their evil sponsors become.
Nigeria’s
billionaires who exclusively benefit from the corrupt failed system, and
whose ill-gotten wealth sponsors our unique terror crises which we now
export to neighboring nations and around the world, are nowhere to be
found now that we need urgent action and contributions. We the ordinary
people have only ourselves.
All prayers and
all forms of contributions to the desperate people and their urgent
missions in Borno go a long way and are urgently needed. Emergencies
like this are never planned for or expected. The mothers plan to go back
into the forests soon and we hope we will be there with them.
It is touching
how many of our youth have decided to volunteer in this divine mission
against the terrorists. It is simply humbling. It says a lot about the
true purity of spirit and faith of Nigerians, when seen through the
murky layers of cabal instituted corruption. These young men setting out
for Borno will also need our support for their sustenance in this
altruistic mission.
Thank you
everyone. We will win against Boko Haram and we will win against the
persecution of tyrant, usurper cabal who keep us in this compromised,
denuded, betrayed, painful state of existence.
