STTEP chairman, Eeben Barlow, wrote:

“There is, in a purely military sense, no such thing as a ‘technical defeat’—something the President, as an ex-military man ought to know. Sadly, he also chose to make the successes of 7 Infantry Division and 72 Mobile Strike Force (MSF) his own, when it wasn’t.

“President Buhari and his team were, however, part of the political leader group that led the vocal charge about STTEP’s presence in Nigeria. Indeed, they made it known that the company’s presence would not be tolerated under his office.

“The initial 3-phase campaign strategy (known as ‘Operational Anvil’) to degrade and destroy BH in Borno State, was rejected by his advisors.

Boko Haram has stepped up attacks

Authorities in the region could not be immediately reached about this latest attack. Boko Haram has stepped up attacks on farmers and loggers in recent years, accusing them of passing information about the group to the military. 

Last week, the jihadists killed nine farmers and abducted 12 others in an attack on Mammanti village near Maiduguri. On November 16, the insurgents kidnapped 50 loggers near the town of Gamboru on the border with Cameroon, four days after 15 farmers were shot dead as they worked in their fields near the garrison town of Monguno, 140 kilometers from Maiduguri. 

Last month the jihadists hacked 12 farmers to death in Kalle, a remote village 17 kilometers from Maiduguri. Despite the government’s insistence that Boko Haram are near defeat, the group has recently carried out major attacks on military and civilian targets, killing scores. 

Security sources said at least 44 soldiers were killed in an attack in Metele village, near the border with Niger, last week, although one soldier who escaped gave a higher toll. 

AFP has reported at least 17 attempts to overrun army bases since July. Many have been claimed by the IS-backed Boko Haram faction, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). More than 27,000 people have died since the start of the insurgency in the remote northeast in 2009 and 1.8 million are still homeless

Insecurity From Taraba to Sokoto, to the south-south

“From Taraba to Sokoto, to the south-south, people don’t feel secure until they see the military,” the president said.

“I am pleased to make the increase in salary and allowances in the hope that it will increase the performance index of the police and strengthen Nigeria’s internal security system.

“The military should be reserved for higher tasks. The police should be able to cope well with the challenges of armed robbery, kidnapping for ransom and such crimes.

“In every town and village, there is the presence of the police. From all these places, they should be able to forward first class intelligence to you on which to act.

“There is a need to amplify the question of more men of the police, especially given the condition we are in – emergency in the north-east, pervasive insecurity and abduction for ransom and banditry in many parts of the country.”
