This scourge of terrorism started almost 6 years ago, but it seems not to be letting up anytime soon. It is really alarming, we need more, much more but why is it so much of a challenge to the federal government? Read on to see how alarming it really is.
It was further learnt that Boko Haram has also gone into a partnership with leaders of Hezbollah to help
recruit and train young innocent girls as potential suicide bombers for use in
parts of northern Nigeria.
The partnership between the Middle Eastern Jihadist group
and the Nigerian Jihadist group reportedly have resulted in the successful
recruitment and training of over 177 young girls under the ages of 15.
The source continued to reveal that out of the 177 suicide
bombers, 75 were already in Nigeria to execute suicide missions in three
northern States of Katsina, Kano and the Federal Capital Territory [FCT],
Abuja.
The types of attacks,
the source indicates would not take the shape of attacks that the Nigerian
security authorities are used to, or would anticipate.
“The year will end as
the year of Boko Haram” says the source as he tried to emphasize on the
preparedness of the Islamic Jihadist group in unraveling the polity before the
campaigns for 2015.
The source who claims
to have full access to the Islamist group explained that the group has become
highly tuned into the politics of Nigeria in the sense that it intends to shape
the outcome of the presidential elections in 2015 to favor a Muslim candidate.
He explained that the attack on Malam [General] Buhari was largely part of the
2015 equation.
He explained that
their preferred candidate for the office of the presidency was the person of
General Buhari. But Buhari’s recent and sudden criticism of the Islamic group
angered the group immensely because, according to the group, Buhari’s
credibility within the north may add a big bite towards discrediting the Boko
Haram in the north.
The source notes that the Boko Haram group perceives
themselves as well accepted by the ‘core’ Islamic north. For this reason,
criticism coming from a person in the stature of Malam Buhari may cause many within
the core Islamic north to back away from secretly supporting Boko Haram.
The
Islamic group did not want Buhari criticisms to continue to become his campaign
mantra for 2015. 247ureports said it made efforts to contact the State Security
Services [SSS] in Kano concerning the threat of increased suicide bombers on
the offing but the SSS Director in Kano failed to respond to their requests.
However a top security boss in Abuja spoke off the record.
He confirmed that intelligence reports do indicate that more suicide bombers
are on the way and that plenty have already arrived the country.
He also added
that the system is too corrupt to fight and combat the terrorist. In his words,
“insurgency can be defeated if the security agencies are overhauled. But for
now it is a money making venture”.
