Boko Haram militants earlier today invaded a prestigious Nigerian Police training college in Gwoza, Borno state.

Police sources told Saharareporters that the college had five units in training with each unit having 59 trainees and unit commander. The units affect were two Mobile Police(MOPOL) units from Nasarawa, Gombe and MOPOL 50 from Abuja. Two other units from Zamfara were also at the college during the attack.
Several of the trainees were reportedly killed and injured by the militants. A good number of the trainees also fled to the mountains nearby while some of the trainees managed to escape to Adamawa state.
A police source told Saharareporters that the militants blew up an armored tank stationed at the gate of the training college before gaining entrance into the school and wreaking havoc.
Boko Haram took over Gwoza some two weeks ago, hoisted its flag and appointed an Emir to administer the strategic northeastern township. Attempts by the Nigerian army to retake the town has been repelled by the militants in deadly counter attacks that have claimed several Nigerian soldiers.
New efforts at mobilize troops to march on Gwoza has been bogged by mutiny by troops and their families who simply refuse to take orders from their superiors to take on Boko Haram fighters as they express concern that their weaponry cannot match those of Boko Haram.
Ngoo see if possible the press should stop talking about this thing cus our govt is not serious in fighting this cus their attitude is not telling us so they are just after 2015 that's all I see too bad
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with you on this one because to me, government is doing their best, terrorism is not an easy issue....and this time, it has lots of complications- tribal, religious, international and political influence making it a difficult situation
ReplyDeleteNgo, if govt is doing their best; their best is not good enough in this regard. Zig Ziglar said 'It is foolishness to continue to do someting same way and expect different results'. If the present strategy is not working, change tactics. Gen Danjuma (rtd) told Mr President that BH is having upper hand. That statement should have elicited a new approach to the fight against terrorism. I still believe that BH can be overrun or at least kept at a bay if right strategy is employed. Let Mr President retire all the Service Chiefs, appoint new ones with mandate to contain this insurgency within 3 months or be fired; there must be result. May God deliver this country from this ugly monster. Innocent. (Pls publish this).
