In neighboring Yobe State, it is not
clear how many soldiers were deployed but residents said shortly after
the declaration of state of emergency, stop and search operations have
been intensified in the state capital while movement have been
restricted in other places.
Residents said the deployment of the
federal troops, including the army, navy, air force and operatives of
the State Security Service (SSS) began at the weekend.
“We started sensing danger on Saturday
when we saw military trucks conveying soldiers to the Joint Task Force
(JTF) headquarters along Pompomari area,” Usman Jika, a resident of
Maiduguri said.
“By Sunday morning, so many roadblocks
have sprung up in the state capital and there was noticeable cordon and
search of houses by new faces (soldiers),” he said.
A resident of Kumshe, one of the red
spots in Maiduguri said his neighbour was beaten to pulp on Sunday when
soldiers besieged the areas and forced all the people out of their
houses.
“All the soldiers that came to the
neighborhood appeared new in the town, some of them said it is now time
for ‘fire for fire” he said.
Another resident said he saw military
aircrafts landing at the Maiduguri International Airport and the air
strip at the Air Force base in the state capital.
“A lot of fighting equipment have been
deployed to Maiduguri,” Hajja Maimuna, a resident of Gomari, whose
house is close to the Air Force base said.
“We are really terrified because the
military operatives coming to Maiduguri in the last two days far
outnumbered those that came during the previous emergency rule,” she
said.
“Even though the state governor has
not been removed, which is good, the truth is that Maiduguri is now a
garrison town, full of angry soldiers who are ready to kill at the
slightest provocation. The deployment will definitely hamper social and
economic life of the people,” she said.

It would have not have gotten to this level if the friends of boko haram members had opened up about their whereabouts because for all I know these people buy food stuff in that same Maiduguri.
ReplyDeleteYou just spoke my mind!
DeleteHehehehehe!!! All na efizzy! I mean..what's with the "nightvision" goggles in broad day light na?
DeleteJtf do ur thing das y ur soldier dis boko haram a biting more dan dey can chew nd 4 di night vision stuff its not efizy its jst 2 show dere activities extends 2 di night time, so come rain or sun shine,day or nightfall di military will stand dere grounds and perform dere primary duty
DeleteI hope no 'BAGARISM' will happen in those states?...but any Boko Boys u encounter, exterminate with immediate alacrity!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do u expect. Have u heard of psychopathic killers b4. U have them full full in d military n in d police. Just give dem a chance n u'll see dem unleash their terror on society.
DeleteEheeeee! Dem go begin thank GEJ 4 this chance
pray peace reign....!
ReplyDeleteE don set! Now we are talking! At last someone has woken up from a long slumber.
ReplyDeleteThats what we're talking about. extreme cases calls for extreme measures.
ReplyDeleteTheir game is up.

State of emergency is a welcome development but the issue of the sitting Governors still at helm of affairs of the affected States is not appealing because it was because of their inabilities to see to the end of these insecurities in their various States that the State of Emergency was declared.Therefore,they are not supposed to be in the office but Sole Administrators should be appointed to avoid interference.Let this State of Emergency be extended to both Kano and Nasarawa States.
ReplyDeleteI want to bliv dat removal of d governors of this states myt lead to loss of total power to the military rules...GEJ is not ready for that in diz states of anarchy...
DeleteBig congrats to them i pray for love, joy and peace in their home.

Finally we are behaving as if we want to stamp out Boko Haram. Lets see them bomb the fighter jets out of the sky. We should beware too that they don't recruit insiders and sabotage the attacks

ReplyDeleteWe don hear abeg rest.
DeleteIdiots wen u support Bokoharam u die with dem let's d military flush those miscrant out of naija joor
ReplyDeletehow i wish d military can take over nigeria government, i think by that, peace will reign..
ReplyDeleteI just hope d military do their jobs and not exhibit their usually barbaric behaviour. Declaring a borno a state of emergency is ok but I hope this our soilders that lack discipline will b able to bring order and sanity. Amen
ReplyDelete--Teeteelahyo--
I think this is a step in the right direction. BH should be faced and finished outrightly. If Nigeria is to remain as one entity, JUSTICE should be instituted at all COST. No person has the immune right to violence.
ReplyDeleteThose soldiers will definitely be angry....any small gragra or resistance, dey will maim u.....I wud even told them to "shoot on sight"
ReplyDeleteAsshole!! Shoot who on sight? Do u realise that there are innocent civillians living there as well, have u hear d proverb where 2 elephants fight the grass also suffers? mcheww, may we not be caught up in such a situation in Jesus name.. God protect d innocent ones and keep them pls.. It is well ..
DeleteThis should have been done ages ago. We have lost so many souls. It is so painful. Even if all comes to naught, GEJ cannot be accused of doing nothing.Militants and outlaws should not be treated with kids gloves. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteGangan!!!war without end part3
ReplyDeletePeople r never satisfied! GEJ was berated by everyone when he didnt declare an emergency rule in these parts of d country, now that he has (which is a welcome development) indigens r saying these presence of soldiers will hinder social n economic development (or whatever it is she said)
ReplyDeleteGobe is when boko haram defeats the Nigerian army!!!I go turn muslim ASAP...!!
ReplyDeleteLmaooooooo ......those soldiers r not smiling oo....any1 dat provoke dem will go down, innocent or not....of course if u r innocent u won't get in their way.
DeleteGood Decision!
ReplyDeletethank God. E good like that. nonesense tire person abeg.
ReplyDeleteThis is utter rubbish. Lets ask the root cause of this restiveness. If these youths are gainfully employed they won't have time for this. Its good to know that the looters of the national treasury can't even enjoy their ill gotten wealth. I say start by giving them stipend to eat
ReplyDeleteAbeg shut yur dirty mouth fool. Thr r pple who dnt av money but do not go abt killing other pple for no JUST CAUSE. Mayb ur also one of dem. I give d soldiers my full support to hunt u down nd shoot you for sympathising wiv d enemies. If you'v lost a family member by those animalistic religious fanatics, you wudnt b saying all this. Pls linda post my comment.
DeleteIf ur fada and moda were killed dastardly by dis idiots u won't say dis. So U are Mad... Dat's all
DeleteU re dumb. Ode like u who told u money is their problem?
DeleteEven 50 naira a day wil not lead me into life of crime religious or not, those guys should be flush out
DeleteNo mind d mugu! If they r sooo poor and unemployed and dem neva chpp dem no suppose fit get energy to bomb and kill na, why dem no use d energy toi till d ground and bring more onions and things to lagos mchewwwww idiots!! Yet they get sponsors from outside the nation to kill their very own country men, if they r so vexed with the government why dem no go kill d pple in govt why bomb innocent hungry unemployed civillians like demselves????
DeleteHv u bin in dis planet cos if u hv,u jes sounded lyk a big fool mayb u are.Did d leaders of boko haram mail u 2 say Dey'r hungry or dey need employment & cos dey lack food & employment dey want 2 go into religious war.Think b4 u talk so u won't get ur sorry ass into trouble.
DeleteKill dose boko haramm pigs...

Deleteaheadahead9ja
I weep for the North-east Nigerian states,formerly home of peace,beauty and sunshine.now u leave in constant fear bcos u don't know who will kill you-BH or Angry Soldiers!!
ReplyDeleteHeii egedege okwa wetin una want.una go hear am.
ReplyDeletethis is playing out in ma head like "its war." I would advise that residents flee that region for now.
ReplyDeleteGod help this country!
Its time 4peace in niqeria
ReplyDeleteGood. Bbuh dse soldiers should nt harm innocent pple
ReplyDeleteAbi o! But unfortunately na their way! Reminds me of one video I saw of soldiers in the north bringing out helpless defenseless young men and telling them to lie down and then they shot them one after the other .. imagine!!! Even crippled men with their walkin sticks were killed in that manner.. One of d soldiers even kept sayin no shoot am for heart shoot for head like they were gonna use their organs too or something ,, na wa oo!
Deleteits about time.......
ReplyDeleteTime to find out who has a superior fighting force; federal government or boko haram insurgents. Place ur bet before its late.
ReplyDeleteBetter
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that innocent people will go down bcos these angry soldiers will be provoked one way or the other. If only the citizens in these areas can comport themselves, this tension will yield result. The 'state of emergency 'has become very imperative so we pray that God protects the innocent
ReplyDeleteOkey. Now I tink GEJ is ready to take d bull by d horn. U can't have peace if u don't fight for it. I sure say dis GEJ don get new adviser... Linda pls keep us posted. Love u tho if u will give me d chance to show it..... Lol..*eyes wide open* did I jst say somtin???
ReplyDeleteServes them right..A child that says his parents will not sleep,won't sleep too
ReplyDeleteIt aff set. Hope the soldiers don't go about killing innocent souls cos me no trust all these ppl. They can do anything in other to look competent in the eye of the president.
ReplyDeleteSorry ehn. We all feel ur pain.the state of emergency is much needed bcs bokoharam insurgency has been left to fester for too long. They cannot b holding dis country captive for no just cause they need to b curbed real hard.
ReplyDeletepresident jona have prove that he is the oga @ top. I think the nation will be at peace! God bless nija!
ReplyDeleteEhen.. Now they are talking..... Boko haram, awon oshi..
ReplyDeleteThe residents should leave...there should be a safe escape created for them or some sort of protection
ReplyDeleteLet them feel it!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMen!!!! I like dis new development at least the state will go back Ď„̲̅ČŤ the peacful setting that it was before
ReplyDeleteatleast something to start with, very good....they passed my roof top sef
ReplyDeleteamazing stuff now on my style blog. Click to see
Finally some action.....we will see were they will flee to now.....if it will take the president to wipe out all 3 states in order for peace and stability to reign,then am with you on this MR. President...
ReplyDeleteLinda this is what i am talking about its about time they get this show on the road they wanted war now they got war Good luck should have raised it to Alpha code red 1 which means full scale war against terror and the order should be SHOOT AT SEIGHT any thing thing that resembles boko haram operatives shoot at them then ask questions later
ReplyDeleteI really like it dat way but I still av dis strong feelings dat Mr president is not using d right tactics to counter dis BH beast of a thing.....instead of Our gorv to av Counter terrorist Unit dey went ahead to av Anti-Bomb squard which I think is absurd....we need anti-terrorist Unit so dat we can treat terrorist as terrorist not treating dem as militants.......I laughed wen he said he wanted to negoci8t wit dem......in an advance contr3 nobody negoci8t wit terrorist bcos if u giv in 2 their demand dey 'll ask 4 more.......Gorv shld provide job 4 d mass, stop looting our money abroad so dat youths can be engaged.....dey started dis madness by buying guns 4 dem during election now dey're using it against dem..............if u listen to what recently released LCDA chairman said abt his kidnappers u'll know dat our youths our jobless...........God help us all.
ReplyDelete'we sensed danger'...am i missing something? All the while that BH has been killing innocent people, what were you sensing? This is the best way to handle those miscreants disturbing our security.
ReplyDeleteI think is okay like dat. Let see wat ll happen next after 3 months.
ReplyDeleteIts not just about deploying soldiers, its about striking the right way and avoiding ambush.
ReplyDelete"E don happen" Sey Gordons said it, "if soja man slap you, you go know say police na your friend". If boko haram wan see "Bagarism" they should just kill one army man.
ReplyDeleteThis is good for them, indeed it should never have gotten to this if some people in the north are not behind this faceless group and are shielding them. Now they are afraid of emergency rule because they are likely to loose their position of authority.
I think the president was very humane, he would have sacked all the state governors, elected officials and political office holders
They name to have some good military intelligence along side the brute force they are bringing in or the Boko haram guys will just disappear and return after the military might subsides(BRAIN + BRAWN THINZ)....THE GREMLIN HAS SPOKEN!
ReplyDeleteWell if all of you people describing the soldiers had identified and reported the BH boys, it won't have gotten to this stage.
ReplyDeleteIn addition any christian and southerner still in that part of the country is on a suicide mission..y'all shld gerrout asap..God help us all.
And who told u dats d way it is done?? R they refugees??
ReplyDeleteThis is how it should be done... Responsible government don't dialogue with terrorists. They(Bokoharam) declare war give them war!
ReplyDeleteIf the Residents shud leave, wat gives u d assurance dat d BH pple dia won't disguise nd follow, den Blow Dem up once dey are outta d Soldies sight? I smell WAR!!! I jux hope Nigeria is ready 4 dis! LordAvMercy!
ReplyDeleteAbout time GEJ dealt with boko haram terrorists. DO NOT SPARE THEM!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! The beginning of the end of Boko Haram.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Spartacus 'Kill them all'. Naija be turning into them afganistan and shiit, but the current governors should not remain in office, afterall its in the constitution but I give him kudos though, those psychos need to be wiped out.
ReplyDeleteits a step in the right direction
ReplyDeletea step i the right direction
ReplyDeleteMy dear President thank you for this, you should have done this last year but better late than NEVER! You are really a patient man. I know you are too nice to rule Nigeria but don't worry, God will help you.
ReplyDeleteJona thinks 9jas are fools abi? Because he wants to come back by all means in 2015, he has "remembered" to declare a state of emergency in these states!
ReplyDeleteThis could be his "biggest accomplishment" before the election and as such, this his "bravado", will see the masses foolishly chanting "We want Jona, we want Jona!"
Why are our people this gullible and easily blindfolded? He is not fit to be president, and it is as simple as that. He has no respect for lives and properties. Come and see the boys he is training outside Nigeria in weaponry and such! And to think that they are all from his place! They will come trickling into the country to carry out his mercenary assignments aka assassinations, bombings and overall anarchy during the coming elections.
leave us alone
ReplyDeletemen, if these really are the soldiers deployed to those states...smh (dunno what to say)...they look freaking mean n scary...damn!
ReplyDeleteAboki's r cows, very backward set of pipu.. if i had d chance wil mak sure every Northerner state is wiped outta naija map..*longhiss*
ReplyDeleteShould the soldiers smile with them b4? did they come there to play. So they can be scared,how come they aint scared of boko. Anyway God is a God that ans by fire,we just thank Him for this step
ReplyDeleteWe shall overcome someday!!!
ReplyDeletethese fools(boko haram) should also be hunted from neighbouring countries(Nij rep,chad etc.) so as to curb and clear them all ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI said it n I still maintain dat dis is d rite step in d rite directn. Let all dos BH miscreants be flushed out of dis country permanently!
ReplyDeleteidiot who tolod u that..if we ask u to rule can u do that..mumu
ReplyDeleteMay God help us o
ReplyDeletewhen will this madness end?

ReplyDeleteOmo, dis one na Rambo IV
ReplyDeleteOnly God knows how many bags of gbana these soldiers traveled with!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely will be mad like a wounded cat! Hope their rules of engagement is solid enough to separate the BH from the rest of the people.
Glad that GEJ finally grew some balls but leaving the governors on seat makes that political. I pray he/we win this battle.
alrght, mr presido is finally growing some balls, kudos!!
ReplyDeleteGo get them boys! Boko Haram, why are u running and hiding? See what u get for waking a sleeping tiger.
ReplyDeleteMy little contribution is that ALL motorcycles (private and commercial) in Adamawa, Bornu and Yobe, should be confiscated and burnt.
The strongest weapon against terror is terror.
