Boko Haram Restrategizes To Begin Fresh Hits
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the Boko Haram sect is re strategizing to begin fresh hits in countries including Nigeria by training fresh unemployed youths.
To actualize this mission, the sect has established a recruitment centre at Dinallahi village in Niger Republic.
French speaking Republic of Niger with 25.25 estimated population is a landlocked country bordered by Nigeria to the south,
The facility, according to information, is located 10 kilometres south of Diagorou, in Tillaberi province.
A counter-insurgency expert in Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, disclosed on Thursday in Maiduguri that the terrorists had erected two hangers in the centre.
“The intention of the terror group is to teach extremist views to the boys and girls that are unemployed in the Sahel region,” he noted.
Makama said there has been influx of Boko Haram terrorists fleeing continued Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) onslaughts at Sambisa Forest in Borno State, Northeast of Nigeria.
The development, he added, was resulting in attack and kidnap of many people from Niger Republic.
On the conscription facility, Makama said: “The region serves as a transit point for terrorists and migrants from West Africa, trying to reach Libya, Somalia, Algeria and Europe through the Mediterranean Sea.”
This development is happening just days after the federal government of Nigeria approved N453billion for the procurement of rolling stock, operation and maintenance equipment for the Kano-Maradi standard gauge rail line currently under construction.
