Six of Our Colleagues Already Dead - Rescued Chibok Girl

    One of the missing schoolgirls abducted by
the fighters of the Boko Haram Islamic
sect from Government Secondary School,
Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014,
Amina Ali Nkeki, has been found, the
Nigerian Army has said.
Activists also told the BBC that Amina was
found by a vigilante group on Tuesday in
Sambisa Forest, close to the border with
Cameroon.
Amina was reportedly recognised by a
civilian fighter. She told her rescuers that
six of her abducted colleagues had died
while others were being held in Sambisa
Forest by their abductors.
The fighter belonged to the Civilian Joint
Task Force, a vigilante group set up to help
fight Boko Haram.
Aboku Gaji, leader of the vigilante group in
Chibok, said, “The moment this girl was
discovered by our vigilantes, she was
brought to my house. I instantly recognised
her, and insisted we should take her to her
parents.
“When we arrived at the house… I asked
the mother to come and identify someone.
The moment she saw her, she shouted her
name: ‘Amina, Amina!’ She gave her the
biggest hug ever, as if they were going to
roll on the ground, we had to stabilise
them.
“The mother called the attention of other
relations to come out and see what is
happening. The girl started comforting the
mother, saying: ‘Please Mum, take it easy,
relax. I never thought I would ever see you
again, wipe your tears. God has made it
possible for us to see each other again.’
“Afterwards, we had to make them
understand that the girl would not be left
in their care. She must be handed over to
the authority.”
Hosea Abana Tsambido, the Chibok
community in the capital, Abuja, told the
BBC that Amina had been found after
venturing into the forest to search for
firewood.
“She was saying… all the Chibok girls are
still there in the Sambisa except six of
them that have already died.”
The Nigerian military said she was from
the town of Mbalala, south of Chibok, from
where 25 of the kidnapped girls came.
Amina was later moved to Maiduguri, the
capital of Nigeria’s Borno State.
Before their arrival in Maiduguri, the Borno
State Governor, Kashim Shettima, who was
apparently delighted about the news, told
the visiting United Nations Under-
Secretary on Humanitarian Affairs, Mr.
Stephen O’ Brien, that the freed girl might
give information that could lead to the
rescue of other abducted girls and perhaps
to the hideouts of the insurgents.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7
Division Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. Victor
Ezugwu, who brought the girl to Shettima,
told the media that the governor had
promised to present the freed girl to
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governor said as a sign of honour, he
would take the girl to Mr. President on
Thursday (today).
The girl was not allowed to have a chat
with the media as she was led to meet
with the governor by military personnel.
Shortly after presenting the girl to the
governor, Ezugwu told journalists that
Shettima would hand her over to President
Muhammadu who would in turn present
her to the nation.
“I want to further confirm to you that, we
have found one of the Chibok girls but we
plead for your understanding on this issue,
we need to give her time to rest as you
can see she is traumatised and nursing a
baby.
“The governor has told us that he did not
want to take credit for this and will hand
over the girl to Mr. President who will in
turn unveil her to the nation,” Ezugwu said.
As of the time of going to the press last
night, the governor and the freed girl had
not emerged to address the media.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations,
Col. Sani Usman, who had earlier
confirmed Amina’s rescue in a statement
on Wednesday, added that a suspected
Boko Haram suspect, Mohammed Hayatu,
who claimed to be the ‘husband’ of the girl
had been arrested by the troops.
Usman, who had earlier given the name of
the rescued girl as Fatmata Mbalala, said
her name was Amina Ali.
He said that the troops of the 25 Task
Force Brigade rescued the girl and
arrested the terror suspect who claimed to
be her ‘husband’ during what he described
as a booking operation at Baale, near
Damboa, Borno State.
He said that investigation conducted by
the Army showed that the girl was one of
the 219 girls abducted from GSS, Chibok
Usman said that the girl was rescued with
her one-year old child, named Safiya.
He added that the girl, her ‘husband’ and
the child had been taken to Maiduguri for
medical screening.
“Please recall that we informed you that
one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls
has been rescued earlier today and
promised to give further details.
“Further to that, in continuation of
Operation Crackdown, troops of 25
Brigade Damboa in conjunction with the
Civilian JTF deployed in one of the
blocking positions at Baale, near Damboa
rescued one Miss Amina Ali and a
suspected Boko Haram terrorist,
Mohammed Hayatu, who claimed to be her
husband.
“Both were brought to the Headquarters of
25 Task Force Brigade Damboa at about
2.30pm today (Wednesday).
“Preliminary investigation shows that she is
indeed one of the abducted Chibok
schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram
terrorists on April 14, 2014 in Chibok and
her name is Amina Ali as against Falmata
Mbalala that was earlier stated.
Meanwhile, the BringBackOurGirls
movement on Wednesday in Abuja
confirmed that the found girl is one of the
over 276 schoolgirls kidnapped in Chibok.
A statement by the spokesperson for the
#BringBackOurGirls#, Sesugh Akume, gave
her name as Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki from
Mbalala.
Akume said the girl had provided useful
information that her other classmates were
still being held by terrorists in Sambisa
Forest.
Reacting, a civil rights organisation,
ActionAid Nigeria, on Wednesday said the
discovery of Amina was an indication that
the 218 others would also be found.
A statement by its Country Director, Ojobo
Ode Atuluku, said it was great news that the
first Chibok schoolgirl had been found.

Bombshell: Corruption in Military Made Nigeria Lose 14 Local Gov'ts To Boko Haram

The Nigerian President,Muhammadu Buhari has finally say its corruption in military and not that of the former administration, PDP,made Nigeria lose 14 local governments to the Islamic Terror group,Boko Haram.He stressed
that the successes recorded by the Nigerian
military against Boko haram insurgents was
because his government rid the institutions of
corruption.





He said that the loss of 14 local government
areas to Boko Haram last year had greatly
tarnished the reputation of the Nigerian Armed
Forces.
This was contained in a statement by the senior
special assistant to the president on media and
publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.
Shehu in the statement said that president
Buhari made the disclosure at an audience with
the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed El-
Tayeb.





The President noted, however, that with
measures taken by his Administration to curb
corruption and provide better weaponry, logistics,
training and welfare for soldiers on the frontlines,
the Nigerian military has now almost totally
incapacitated Boko Haram as a fighting force
and recovered all territories that were lost to the
terrorist sect.





"When we curbed corruption and removed the
injustice in the military, we began to make
progress," President Buhari said.
President Buhari who accepted the support of
Muslims across the world for Nigeria's war
against Boko Haram, also said that the war
against terrorism was also a war against
injustice, which he said was not condoned by
Islam and all the major religions.
According to him, the visit of Dr. El-Tayeb and
his expression of solidarity with Nigeria in the
war against terrorism was a clear indication of
global Muslim support for Nigeria against the
unjust killing of the innocent by terrorists.
"You can't kill the innocent in churches or in
mosques and shout Allahu Akbar," President
Buhari said.
Shehu also stated that the president reaffirmed
his administration's determination to resettle all
persons who were displaced by the Boko Haram
insurgency even as he thanked the Grand Imam
for the donation of scholarships, educational and
medical supplies to Nigeria's Internally Displaced
Persons.
Meanwhile, the visiting Dr. El-Tayeb told
President Buhari that Muslims all over the world
shared Nigeria's pains from terrorism and would
continue to support efforts to ensure the return
of peace and unity amongst all faiths in the
country.

Tears As Parents Identify Seven Chibok schoolgirls in Boko Haram new Video

The separatist group known as boko haram has released a videotape that sent mathers into weeping and mourning. The videotape was said to have shown seven girls who were among the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
         The Former negotiator on the release of the girls urged the Islamists to negotiate Three mothers of female students kidnapped from Chibok, Borno state on the night of 14–15 April, 2014, identified their daughters in a new video released by Boko Haram. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp The girls – all dressed in full length, black robes – state their names, their school and where they are from Rifkatu Ayuba, Mary Ishaya and Yana Galang were invited to the viewing centre in Maiduguri by the chairman of Chibok Local Government Area, Bana Lawan. Seven girls have been identified so far, however, local officials said more identifications needed. Odumakin In a video obtained by CNN news channel 15 girls are heard saying they studied in the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok and beg the government to cooperate with militants to bring them back home. The girls spoke in Hausa and Kibaku, the local Chibok language.  Chibok mothers watchin a newly released Boko Haram video “The girls were looking very, very well. They were definitely our daughters… All we want is for the government to bring back our girls,” Mrs Galang said in a telephone interview with the Thomson Reuters Foundation after viewing the video.   Reacting to the new development senator Shehu Sani and former negotiator on the girls’ release found the video credible and advised Boko Haram insurgents to embrace dialogue. In an interview with CNN on Wednesday he said: “Negotiation will make it possible for these girls to be brought back home alive. What has always been the problem in the last few years has been the very fact there are scam negotiators, who most times make claims and don’t deliver And I think this is what we must be very careful of at this time. The very fact that we can get such a credible video from some sources and those sources are elements that need to be utilised to be able to achieve the goal of getting these girls out. When President Muhammadu Buhari took over, a section of our country was taken over by the insurgence group. They hosted their flags and even unleashed their version of theocratic Islamic group. But now, with funding for the military and support by the government, the morale is high, the military had been able to push them back and most of the cities in the North-East are safe. Buhari has not been able to achieve 100 per cent success but he has made serious progress. I believe he can still achieve more. With the very fact that now, they know clearly they cannot win militarily and the only option is to go for other ways. There is no other way other than for them to agree to negotiate on the release of these girls.” The video is believed to have been made last December as part of the discussions between the government and the extremist group. It is the first footage of the girls to be seen since May 2014. Their whereabouts are yet to be established. According to Amnesty International about 2,000 girls and boys have been abducted by the Boko Haram since 2014, with many used as sex slaves, fighters and suicide bombers.Parents whose daughters weren't in the video are afraid,they might be dead or kept somewhere unknown.

Revealed: Buhari Accused of Mismanaging Anti-Boko Haram Fund by a British Paper

 allnaijahints.com: British Paper Accuses President Buhari of Mismanaging Anti-Boko Haram Fund

      President Muhammadu Buhari was  accused of spending Anti-BH money on political games  – President Muhammadu Buhari has been misusing aid money by a British newspaper  – The Daily Telegraph claims the president is misusing funds set aside to combat Boko Haram to persecute his political opponents  – Several senior PDP officials have been arraigned by the EFCC since Buhari was elected Hundreds of millions of pounds of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists is instead being used to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians, it is being claimed. Britain has committed to spending £860 million (N234 billion) in foreign aid to Nigeria to help support the country’s efforts to crush Boko Haram terror group, which has been responsible for a spate of outrages. But Western officials are now raising concerns that the government of the country’s recently elected leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, is misusing the funds to persecute political opponents. Since Mr Buhari came to power last July, a number of prominent members of the former ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have been arrested and imprisoned without charge. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp President Buhari is currently in China on an official visit Among those detained was the party’s official spokesperson. Most of the arrests have been sanctioned by the government-controlled Economic and Financial Crime Commission, which was set up to tackle corruption and receives funding from the Department for International Development. But while Mr Buhari’s government continues to use British aid money to target his political opponents, it is proving less effective at tackling the Islamist-run Boko Haram terrorist group. Much of the aid Britain provides to Nigeria is aimed at helping the country’s security forces to become more effective at tackling Boko Haram, which boasts of its links with Islamic State and achieved international notoriety two years ago after kidnapping 276 schoolgirls in northern Nigeria two years ago are based in Nigeria helping to train the military to tackle Boko Haram. But despite Mr Buhari’s pledge during last year’s general election campaign that he would make tackling Boko Haram one of his top priorities, there is growing concern among Western officials that the Nigerian military is failing to take effective action against the terrorists. This has resulted in Boko Haram now being regarded as the world’s deadliest terrorist organisation, responsible for more deaths than Isil. There are now reports that the group is trying to train kidnapped children to act as suicide bombers. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp A British special forces soldier instructs Nigerian army troops “This is a scandal in the making,” explained a senior U.S. official. “There is no doubt the growing strength of Boko Haram is because President Buhari is far more interested in settling scores with his political opponents that concentrating his energy on defeating terrorists. “The result is that Nigeria is starting to look more and more like a police state while Boko Haram just goes from strength to strength.” Another Western diplomat added: “If Buhari was serious about fighting corruption he would be focusing all of his efforts on targeting corruption that is impeding Nigeria’s ability to focus its efforts on tackling Boko Haram. Accusations that Nigeria is abusing aid money will add to the growing controversy over the UK’s commitment to spend 0.7% GDP on the foreign aid budget. Western officials have expressed concern about Mr Buhari’s increasingly autocratic style of government since he came to power last year after he previously headed a brutal military dictatorship following a coup in December 1983, which lasted until he was overthrown by another coup in 1985. Now political opponents claim he is returning to his old dictatorial ways, abusing British aid meant to improve Nigeria’s ability to tackle Boko Haram to consolidate his hold on power. Apart from the concerns over British aid, American officials are also angry that $2.1 billion (N418 trillion) of aid given to the Nigerian military to tackle Boko Haram has not been properly accounted for.Hundreds of girls abducted by Boko Haram remain the group’s prisoners Mr Buhari’s claim that he is winning the war against Boko Haram – recently claimed the group no longer poses a serious threat – has been undermined by recent revelations the Nigerian authorities have tried to cover up the fact that hundreds more schoolchildren have been abducted by Boko Haram. Human rights activists have no confirmed that around 400 women and children were abducted last year by militants from the Nigerian town of Damasak. It is now believed that some of these children may have been trained as suicide bombers. U.S. counter-terrorism experts say at least 105 women and girls trained by Boko Haram have taken part in suicide attacks since June 2014.
