‘Why army killed members of Islamic sect’ ITREALMS

ITREALMS:

The Nigerian Army has adduced some reasons why its troop on Saturday, killed three members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, reports ITREALMS.

According to Commander Army Headquarters Garrison, Major General James Myam in a press statement made available to ITREALMS said that the group was trying to overrun an army ammunitions escort at Zuba bridge in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Saturday afternoon.

“Troops of Army Headquarters Garrison on official duty escorting ammunitions and missiles from Abuja to Army Central Ammunition Depot in Kaduna State were attacked by some members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) sect at Zuba bridge at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) at about 3.00pm on Saturday 27th October 2018,” he explained.

He equally said, the sect were supposedly in a procession, but established an illegal road block denying motorists free passage.

“When the troops’ convoy attempted to clear the road block, they met stiff opposition from the sect. Members of the sect used various objects to barricade the road and also pelted the troops with stones and other dangerous items. They smashed both military and civilian vehicles’ windscreens and windows,” he said.

As narrated by the army, the Islamic group, also attempted to overrun the escorts to cart away the ammunition and missiles the troops were escorting. This led to the troops opening fire to extricate themselves. Consequently, troops of 102 Guards Battalion in whose Area of Responsibility the incident occurred rushed to the convoy’s rescue.

The army described as “Unfortunately, during the encounter 3 members of the sect were killed while 2 soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries and are being treated at a military medical facility.”

The commander further said that normalcy has been restored in the general area and members of the public especially those plying the Abuja - Zuba Road are requested to go about with their normal activities with the assurance from the Nigerian Army that no individual or persons would be allowed to disturb public peace and unprovoked attacks against military convoys.

Eight killed on Sunday mass attack @Ozubulu

ITRealms:

Eight worshippers were on Sunday killed with 18 others injured at the St. Philip Catholic Church, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area in Anambra State by a native, reports ITRealms.

The police in Anambra, ITRealms gathered, also confirmed Sunday that a gunman killed eight worshippers and injured 18 others in an early morning attack on.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Anambra Commissioner of Police, Mr Garba Umar, said in Awka that the remains of the dead had been deposited at Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi.

Umar also said that the injured were taken to the hospitals, stressing that preliminary investigations by the police revealed that the attack was carried out by a native of the area. “From our findings, it is very clear that the person who carried the attack must be an indigene of the area.

“We gathered that worshippers for 6 o’clock Sunday mass at St. Philip Ozobulu were in the service when a gunman dressed in black attire covering his face with a cap entered the church and moved straight to a particular direction and opened fire. “The man after shooting at his targeted victims still went on a shooting spree, killing and wounding other worshippers,’’ he said.

The commissioner said information available to police showed that the attacker was speaking undiluted Igbo Language at the time he was firing at worshippers.

Umar said though no arrest had been made but that the police already learnt that the attack followed a quarrel between two natives of Ozubulu residing overseas.

He described the act as sacrilegious, and said it was wrong for the perpetrators of the act to extend their quarrel into the church. He added: “such conduct shows the people behind the act do not fear God.’’ He said the police had launched a manhunt on those behind the act and gave an assurance that everybody behind the act would be brought to justice.

Further, Umar described any insinuation that the attack was carried out by Boko Haram elements as false and urged the people to go about their normal businesses. He said the police were on top of the situation.’’(NAN)

Chief Boko Haram bomb maker killed by colleague, another blinded – Army Spokesman

ITRealms:

The Nigerian Army has said that the chief Boko Haram terrorists bomb maker has been killed by colleague in attempt to escape from the group, reports ITRealms.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, disclosed this in a press statement made available to ITRealms, Tuesday, saying that things seems to be falling apart in the hierarchy of the terrorist group, as another top member has gone blind.

He described this development as a major breakthrough in the clearance and rescue operation by the Nigerian military, confirming as the chief bomb maker and a high ranking terrorist, were shot dead Tuesday.

According to Usman, the chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram terrorists, was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), coming after their chief scientist, called Abu RPG, who has been killed long ago.

Usman also said that the chief bomb maker  was killed by one of the body guard of the Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about to run away just like several others are doing because of the intensity of operation CRACKDOWN.

In a related development, he said, one Julelebeeb who was appointed to take over is now completely blind because his two eyes were shattered by shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED to consolidate his appointment.

There is no doubt, this development has dealt a devastating blow on the terrorists capacity on IED preparation, suicide bombing and their ability to sustain their criminal acts.

Nigerian Army, therefore, reassured the public that “our troops are continuing with the clearance and rescue operations successfully in order to completely clear Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding.”
