Boko Haram killings: Stakeholders, soldiers blame information leakages, army’s slow action
The current upsurge in Boko Haram attacks in the northeast has again raised a lot of questions on the Nigerian military’s effectiveness in the prosecution of the ongoing operations to end the over ten years conflict. Recently, the attack in Auno, Maiduguri – Monguno road, Maiduguri – Damboa road and the attack on Faduma Kolomdi, a village in Gubio, which left 81 persons dead has generated much criticism on the way and manner the military operations in the northeast is being handled.
“Last week, 5 people were kidnapped, among them was Abdurahman, a SEMA Camp Chairman in Monguno whose wedding day was fixed for last Sunday. He was abducted alongside 3 others. On Sunday, the route was again attacked and commuters were assembled and strategically engaged in video recording discussions by the insurgent for almost an hour.
“The much-needed step is for citizens to make sacrifices by rallying round our military to give them all the support they need. This is the only way to win this war rather than glorifying attacks on innocent civilians. “We have heard this issue of incentives being said on papers, but if you ask a soldier, the story may shock you. And these soldiers also see what is happening with the families of their fallen colleagues. It is always not a good story when you have a one-on-one chat with soldiers, and they speak their minds,” he said.
