Boko Haram retaliates

Boko Haram fighters have killed at least 33 wives of Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Borno State. A counter-insurgency expert, Zagazo Makama, disclosed this in a series of tweets on Tuesday, December 5.

Makama said,

The ISWAP group later retreated and took position at the camp of Izzah. Thereafter, they moved to Garin Abbah, located about 2 kilometers where they pinned down to wait for the Boko Haram.

But instead of going to meet the ISWAP rivals to continue the fight, the Boko-Haram elements did a detour and headed to where ISWAP wives are located and killed 33 of them.

It will be seen in the coming days how ISWAP fighters will react to the brutal killing of their wives by the Boko Haram elements.”

Confusion as Obasanjo speaks on where Nigeria’s next 20 million Boko Haram recruits will emerge from

One of Nigeria’s former presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that 20 million out-of-school children across Nigeria are a disaster waiting to happen.

Obasanjo while speaking at the National Summit on Tertiary Education Reform organised by the leadership of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, November 22, said the out-of-school risk has the potential to become 20 million Boko Haram members. The summit was conceived to provide answers to the incessant industrial actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) hindering education across the country.

Insecurity: Nigeria is safe for investment, Lai Mohammed

In another development, Nigeria has been described as a safe environment for all forms of investment despite the growing killings, kidnappings and activities of Boko Haram terrorists. The description of the security situation in the country was given by the minister of information, culture and tourism, Lai Mohammed. According to Lai Mohammed, oppositions across Nigeria are only giving wrong narratives to demarket the nation.
