Borno Under Siege: Boko Haram Kills 300 In Six Months, Controls 3 Local Govt Areas —Senator Ndume

[SAHARAREPORTERS] Senator Ali Ndume has expressed concern over the escalating resurgence of Boko Haram

... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
terrorism in Borno State, revealing that over 300 lives have been lost in 252 attacks within the last six months.

He warned that the situation is rapidly deteriorating, with three local government areas—Gudumbari, Marche, and Abadam—now entirely under Boko Haram control.

Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, spoke to journalists in Abuja on Sunday following a high-level security meeting between Governor Babagana Zulum and the nation's military top brass, according to Vanguard.

The delegation included all three Borno senators, a House of Representatives member, and the governor himself.

''We are worried because just from November last year to date, we experienced 252 attacks in Borno State. In this six-month period, over 100 soldiers were killed. Over 200 non-combatants were killed,'' Ndume said.

The senator commended the efforts of the Nigerian military but acknowledged that they are severely overstretched and under-resourced, despite having eliminated over 800 faceless myrmidons within the same period.

He noted that infighting between factions of Boko Haram and the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
West Africa Province (ISWAP) also resulted in an estimated 500 terrorist deaths.

''The Army is doing their best, but they can't do it without trained and adequate troops," Ndume said.

''If these things are to be addressed, they must be trained, they must be equipped, they must be armed, and they must be motivated. That's what I call TEAM.''
