So the Police is not supposed to chase these killers into any neighborhood they hide to launch these attack. We should remember that the last time American security agents were chasing just two killers, the entire community was SHOT DOWN! If any innocent resident had defied the orders, or harbored the killers without reporting to the authorities, that resident would have had him/herself to blame!
So as we said previously, people have to see the unfortunate loss of innocent lives as the JTF is attempting to protect the lives and properties that Boko Haram members waste everyday as an extension of Boko Haram menace in the society! And what is not helping matters is Boko Haram's new tactic that involves hiding within the non-combatant and unarmed civilians and shooting at the security agents and/or planning or launching attacked against their targets in the community.
At this point, serious combined community, intelligence, police and military actions are needed to deal with this terror crisis!. Boko Haram's indiscriminate targets include: educational institutions, places of worship including churches and mosques of Muslims who don't worship like Boko Haram, traditional rulers like Emirs, Sultans and Imams, Govt facilities, military/police barracks/stations, and of course public gatherings of innocent people.
A time has come when a community leaders and residents MUST decides whether it will continue to harbor criminals and terrorists or take control of their communities by either fishing out Boko Haram members from their communities by themselves [they have to know some of them by now if they are operating in their midst] or cooperate with security agents to identify the assailants in their communities! Shikiena! There are no other ways to sanitize these communities now without the risks and collateral damages. Take care. JUI

| Gunmen Kill 20 Police Officers In Nasarawa Gunmen on Wednesday attacked police officers in Alakio village, 10kilometres from Lafia, the state capital, killing no fewer than 20 police officers. According to the Commissioner of Police in Nasaarawa state, Mr Akeri Mame, the victims were going about their lawful duty of dislodging some criminal abode before they were hit by gun shots from the unidentified gunmen. But, the Governor of Nasarawa state, Ibrahim al-Mukura is reported to have told journalists in Lafia that the attackers are cultists, popularly called 'Ombatse militia group', that were terrorizing the state." He however maintained that no amount of intimidation would stop his administration from continuing with the war against cultists in the state. A similar attack was allegedly recently staged in the state when security operatives were attacked and killed by the group which also launched attacks on civilians, killing undisclosed number of people a fortnight ago. |
