NIGERIAN ARMY FOILS BOKO HARAM’s PLAN OF ATTACKING 5 STATES

 

The Nigerian Army has foiled a plan by Boko Haram insurgents to attack 25 communities and villages in 5 states in the North-East geo-political zone. According to reports, the targeted communities are spread across five states of Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe. A source told Punch that, “There are 25 towns and communities mentioned in the Balmo Forest hit list of the sect recovered by the troops. Seven of the villages are in Adamawa while the rest are in four other states, all in the North East. The states are Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, and Borno.

“There is the general feeling that the names in the list should not be released because it could cause panic, anxiety and fear. You know that people would begin to flee the areas once they hear anything. I can tell you that not even one person would be left in the places if you mention the names; and that is unnecessary now. What the authorities have done is to ensure that the security presence in the areas is strengthened and the people get the protection they deserve.”
