FRESH ATTACKS BY SUSPECTED MEMBERS OF BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA AFTER TRUCE.


Reports’ reaching our desk has it that gun men suspected to be Boko Haram have killed dozens of people in five attacks on Nigerian villages after a government-announced cease-fire to enable 200 abducted girls to be freed, witnesses said.

However, the government cast doubt on whether the attacks really were by Boko Haram saying that it might be one of several criminal groups that are exploiting the chaos of the insurgency. A spokesman said talks to free the girls would continue in Chad on Monday.

The fresh attacks is dimming the only ray of hope for an easing of the northeast’s violence, although officials remained confident they can negotiate the release of girls whose abduction by the rebels in the remote northeastern town of Chibok in April caused worldwide outrage.

Government sources said they were expecting to do this on Tuesday.


Boko Haram insurgency has led to thousands of since the group started in their bid to create an Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria.

Reports reaching us have it that these men whose pictures appears below were alleged goat thieves. It happened in one of the eastern state of the federation.

If they feel that they have committed a crime the most honourable thing to do is to hand them over to the authorities.

We are in trouble in this country. The problem with this country is and still is ethnicity.

This has set a dangerous precedence in this country that might lead to problems that may make or mare the sovereignty of our great Nation. Now within just 6 months of of the Buhari administration between 1892-2000 people have been killed and still counting.... And in all these who are the loosers? The poor masses.
