Following the dislodgment of Boko Haram terrorist’s camps in
some parts of Borno state by military troops which had forced many of
the terrorists to scavenge for food from villagers, the terrorists have
resorted to robbing innocent civilians thereby killing three passengers
after collecting unspecified amount of cash and food items from their
victims along Bama- Banki road.
This is even as
intelligence information available to the newly established Headquarters
of 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maiduguri indicated that the terrorists
have written threat letters to Dikwa Market/traders demanding N1 million
to enable them purchase food items and other logistical requirement or
be ready to face deadly attacks.
These were contained in a press
statement emailed to Journalists yesterday by the Acting Spokesman of
the 7 Div, Nigerian Army, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa in Maiduguri,
the state capital.
Sagir in the statement said, “ at about 1135
hours on 13th September, 2013, some troops of Banki Forward Operating
