BOKO HARAM MEMBERS FLEE SAMBISA FOREST IN FEAR OF THEIR COMMANDER

Two suspected  Boko Haram terrorists have left the camps in Sambisa Forest for Bama local government area of Borno State out of fear of being killed by their commanders.
According to Daily Trust, Boko Haram leaders are taking all measures in neutralizing fellow members in every case where  they show resistance, which included those who joined the sect willingly and those who were forced to.
According to information gotten from Bama youths,  two fugitives who are known for their ties with the sect, were sighted in the community and they  tried to capture them. However, one of the suspect managed to escape.
Upon interrogation, the caught terrorist has revealed that they have run away from Sambisa Forest out of fears for their lives.
Only a few days ago, aide to President Goodluck Jonathan on Media, Reno Omokri, shared some photographs of Nigerian Army soldiers combing the vast territory of Sambisa Forest.
The area is notorious for serving as a perfect hide-out for Boko Haram fighters.

How The World Quickly Stopped Caring About The Kidnapped Nigerian Girls

Hayes Brown, an editor at ThinkProgress.org and a blogger conducted a research dedicated to the kidnap of more than 200 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok, located in Nigeria’s northeast Borno state by militants from the terrorist group commonly known as Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.

The research is based on 5 Goggle trends charts. Here's only the part of the article that may be interesting for Nigerian readers:
The girls are still missing. Their mothers still protest in Nigeria’s capital. International assistance is flowing into the country to aid in the search. Despite that, the interest in the plight of the nearly three hundred school-aged girls taken over two months ago has plummeted since the story first became the latest cause célèbre on the Internet. It’s a common enough assumption as to become cliche that interest in news stories, barring large flashy developments, tends to fade over time.
But the data backs up that idea, particularly in the case of the story of the three hundred girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok, located in Nigeria’s northeast Borno state. According to the data, that interest lasted for roughly a week before sharply dropping to the levels seen today. Since the kidnapping finally made its way into the international press, the story has been shared and tracked on social media through the hashtag “#BringBackOurGirls, serving almost as a brand for the abduction, an easy way to refer to the complex situation unraveling.
Google offers a service called Google Trends which can be used to examine how many people worldwide search for given terms compared to other points over a certain period. Plugging #BringBackOurGirls into Google Trends, modeling the last 90 days of search traffic, shows a surge of interest in the term peaking on Fri. May 9, before a sharp drop-off the following Monday.

The hashtag originated in Nigeria roughly two weeks after the girls’ kidnapping. Searches for the hashtag on Google skyrocketed the third week of the girls’ kidnapping. A drop-off in interest into the hashtag doesn’t necessary mean that interest in the story writ large is also falling. As a way to minimize the chances of that, ThinkProgress also ran a query for the term “Nigeria girls,” a simple shorthand for the story. The results are similar in terms of a clear peak followed by a substantial drop-off in interest.

Boko Haram May Use Hijacked Petrol Tankers For Bombing Abuja

 


The Federal Government and the security services of Nigeria alerted that the Islamist Boko Haram sect intends to bomb the Federal Capital Territory using hijacked petrol tankers, TheNation reports.
This has been revealed by the Department of State Security Services (DSSS), which referenced intelligence reports about terrorists’ activities, on June 18, 2014, Wednesday.
The DSSS informed that Boko Haram members may capture the petrol tankers, fill them with explosives and use them for a suicide bomb attack. The terrorists might select various targets in Abuja and may accomplish the deadly mission in the nearest future.

Both Marilyn Ogar, the DSS Deputy Director, and Mike Omeri, National Information Centre Coordinator, confirmed it on the daily briefing in Abuja, urged Nigerians to stay on alert, especially when they notice a suspicious tanker, which is being driven in a dangerous manner.
Omeri also urged the Petrol Tankers Association (PTA) to be on the red alert, advised PTA members to notify the security services immediately about any attempt to seize, hijack their vehicles.
The NIC Coordinator further urged Nigerians to report about any broken down tanker in any part of the FCT to security agencies.
Omeri further commented on Monday’s arrest of 486 people in Abia state, suspected of links with Boko Haram. He assured that the screening of nabbed travellers was not targeted at any particular individual or group, but was aimed at ensuring the general security of the country.
The capital of city of the country has become a target for Boko Haram insurgents for multiple times, if we recall the deadly Nyanya Motor Park bombing on April 14 and a repeat May Day explosion.

Abacha loot: Liechtenstein returns $227mn to Nigeria

 GENEVA(AFP) – Liechtenstein said Wednesday it would return 167 million euros ($227 million) to Nigeria, ending a drawn-out battle by the African country to recover cash looted by late dictator Sani Abacha.
Abacha, who died in 1998, is suspected of having looted the Nigerian central bank to the tune of about $2.2 billion when he ruled Africa’s most populous nation from November 1993 to June 1998. Some estimates said he stole close to $4billion.
Nigeria first requested help from Liechtenstein in 2000 to recover the cash stashed there.
The tiny principality of some 37,000 people returned 7.5 million euros to Nigeria in late 2013, but the restitution of the bulk of the cash has long been blocked by lawsuits brought by companies linked to Abacha’s family.
Several of the companies were sentenced in 2008 to repay money proven to have been taken from Nigeria’s national budget, but four of the firms filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Following negotiations between the governments of Liechtenstein and Nigeria, the four ended up withdrawing their complaints in May, “clearing the path for repatriation of the assets once and for all,” Vaduz said in a statement Wednesday.
The World Bank had agreed “to monitor the use of the repatriated assets,” the statement said.
Liechtenstein announcement coincided with the withdrawal of a suit by Nigeria’s Federal Government against Mohammed Abacha over close to N120billion theft, made up of $140million and 385 million pounds, stolen from Nigeria’s treasury
