JTF, In Maiduguri, Urges Public to Ignore Boko Haram Leaflets And Posters

By SaharaReporters, New York

The Joint Task Force (JTF) in Maiduguri has called on the public to disregard the leaflets and posters being distributed by Boko Haram terrorists urging people not to pass information to the JTF on the locations and activities of the sect.

In a statement issued today by its spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, JTF stressed that the publications are simply part of the propaganda of the terrorists to keep the civil populace in captivity and perpetual fear with a view to unleashing more terror on innocent citizens.

In a separate statement, JTF drew attention to two recent incidents in the area in which, following search operations in which JTF recovered some arms and ammunition, members of Boko Haram arrived at the same market and coerced people to pay compensation for the seizure—without the incident being reported to JTF.  

“JTF wishes to alert and warn individuals or group to desist from such unpatriotic acts as both the giver and receiver of such monies would be treated as terrorists and be seriously dealt with,” the statement said, reiterating its commitment to the maintenance of law, order and the protection of lives and properties of law abiding citizens.
 
It reminded the public that security is a collective responsibility rooted in information sharing and collaboration, and that members of the public can reach JTF on phone numbers 080-64174066, 080-85464012 and 080-54429346.

What ! you must be out of

What ! you must be out of your mind. You are asking a legitimate government to talk and negotiate with thugs and terrorists. That will be sending the very wrong message that terrorism pays very huge and substantial benefit. Terrorism and thugry must be obliterated with military incision. Any thing short of this sanction is not acceptable and not an option.

@aliyu

We dnt sympathiz wit em nor do we harbour em,we ar mere victims caught btw jtf n bh! Knw dat d issue is mor complx dan u thnk it is..

Hardly I see your comment

Hardly I see your comment without mentioning Buhari no matter the issue at stake. Well done Deri, keep it up.

survive forwhere

Yeah my friend,the north will survive on a few skinny cows and a couple of tons of tomatoes and onions abi?Even that will not be enough to feed your teeming millions of repatriated beggars who by the way contribute the largest share of your regions GDP so get wise.

Boko Haram Vs JTF

The North should please stay on their own. it is better for the Country to divide. The only thing they know how to do best is to take innocent people'S blood, I wonder what religious teaches you to kill, that must be a very bad one. They have also succeded in making Most of the Northern State a ghost place. NIGERIA, ABEG, WE NEED THIS DIVISION BADLY, LETS SEE WHO WILL LOSS. WE IN THE NIGER DELTA REGION WILL NOT KILL OURSELVE OVER OIL.

re kanuris

most of the boko haram members are kanuris ,chadians &cameroonians they not hausa fulanis as u expect pls leave d hausas out of this mess

RE: NIGERIA SECURITY BASTARDIZING

Security problem is everybody's' watch...i think we'v not learn anything much from our past, Nigerian government compare itself with the soo call well develop nations like US, standing on the ground that "NO COUNTRY NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST" i think that a huge mistake.

for the interest of the poor Nigerian who are been killed needlessly by these group...if u see something, say something and do something

@Deri: After 2015, the SS wouldn't be different from the North

@Deri

U claim "agodi, tundemess, Sonala & wahala are d boko haram agents here. "

Realy, how about the confession from your terrorist brother Asaro Dokubo who confessed getting training from Yusuf, deceased leader of Boko Haram.

The aroma of ogogoro from the table of GEJ (thanks to Abati for letting us know) is affecting you. 2105 is almost here. Your resource control fight was about making Tompolo and Asari Dokubo billionaires. After 2015, the SS wouldn't be different from the North, you would have a few rich bandits and an army of terrorists roaming about !

Living in Bondage

The people of Maiduguri are really living in Bondage

The Numbers are wrong.

Naija again... I tried all three numbers and here are the response I received....
080-64174066 - The number you have called is currently switched off.
080-85464012 - you have called the wrong number.. obviously someone else's number..
080-54429346 - a lady picked up and when I asked if this is the JTf is hissed and cut the call....

SECESSION by the South South is the answer

Those who give information are almost dying of hunger. Ordinarily they will nt do so on d basis of religion. Bt hunger wan kill of of them.

The JTF shud have ended Boko Haram long time ago by just bombing anything that looks boko haram. Bomb to pieces any house they live or are suspected of living in, Bomb their wives, children, parents, friends etc. Just keep bombing them. This is the only laguage the North understands. Dnt u see hw Israel treats the Palestinians? Fire for Fire. If BH kills 10 people inside the Church, Kill 60 BH or 60 of anythin dat belongs to them. Period.

However, d best solution is for Jonathan to begin to formulate and establish a fortified army for the SS peoples in readiness for the secession come 2015. That is d way to go. We d SS people have resolved to live in our own country and take charge of our resources.

Long live the South South Republic

Kanuri belligirency

Now that Northerners are coming out of their slumber and facing the masterminds of terrorism i.e. Kanuris, the fight will now haped and will be straight and easy to finishs

Could you tell us who the law

Could you tell us who the law abiding citizens are, certainly not the PO-lice.

lets divide

you morron who is afraid of disintegration, the north will survive while u stupid morrons will be fighting for the oil

Babangida, while reacting to

Babangida, while reacting to the blame heaped on him and others for “killing” the nation’s oil sector and the attendant negative consequences on the welfare of Nigerians, had through his aide, Kassim Afegbua, said: “On General Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former presidents. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.“He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister. Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) which records we also have.“We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his ‘records of performance during those periods.’ Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided,” Babangida had said.

conduct unexpected house to house search

conduct an unexpected house to search weekly--daily and hourly--the entire fulani north ARE behind boko haram --cause they think its the only way to win elections FOR buhari--when will the senate and house debate our involvement with OIC--

Nagodi, tundemess, & wahala are d boko haram agents here

Nagodi, tundemess, Sonala & wahala are d boko haram agents here. The fact of the matter is that government is yet to take the boko haram thing to heart like its fight with the militants in the creeks--which led to our villages being bombed--the soldiers sent to the North are not enough- Nigeria is at war-the entire army barracks should be emptied. Have our soldiers sent to these hot spots-there are not enough military men in the north-Members of boko haram are being shielded by the emirs, sultans, local government chairmen-Imam in Mosques, senators, National and state assembly men-with buhari as their head-the best we can do is to call 4 a national confab and split-again why was azazi removed--He was no good but have boko haram stopped the killings-its our oil resources that is being wasted-we have some unthinking northern governors always talk of silly issues but never boko haram-cause they are behind dem

you have only confirmed that

you have only confirmed that you preferred retrogression to progression,retardation to development,anarchy to orderliness,maiming and killing to peaceful life.However, remember,he who live by the sword will definitely die by the sword.

JTF

JTF need to visit those areas with RPG & GPMG, you don't need a prophet to tell you before you know that they are members

@nagodi

@nagodi, u said it all. Bravo! Ur reasoning is too logical & factual to b ignored. I recommend ur appointment as special adviser 2 d IG on how to exterminate Boko Haram.

Poverty Deepens in the North Loyal to BH

The North will pay a huge price for their indiscretion. If they like let them blame GEJ from now till enternity it will not remove the bullet the North had shot in its own foot. They have been blaming GEJ as if BH are ghosts. They created BH, shielded BH, and are still using BH. Seeing that it is counterproductive, they turn around to blame GEJ. The North's been complaining of poverty as if it is the only non-oil producing region in Nig. If not for laziness and a beggarly attitude, why can't the North do what other non-oil producing regions are doing instead of weeping over oil resources it is bound to lose out on completely when Nig breaks up in 2015. God help this lazy North, I will see if they will no look for their own resources if Nig breaks up and petroldollars stops flowing.

JTF, Boko Haram and Indonesia

And I quote: "In a huge diverse country that champions of global jihad once regarded as fertile ground for (terrorist) expansion, the recent calm testifies to the success of a relentless drive by security forces to track, infiltrate, and confront violent islamist groups intent on driving Indonasia from its traditionally moderate moorings" (Washington Post Online 08/29/12) If the JTF or indeed Nigeria wants to get rid of Boko Haram terrorists, they should model their approach to that of Indonasia, the world's most populous Moslem country. Instead, the foolanis such as Mr. Dansuki, Lt. Col. Musa Sagir, Sanusi, and co. are treating these terrorists with kid gloves because they are fellow foolanis.

Senseless kanuri

I don't knw wat Jonathan is waitin 4 in maiduguri n Yobe,since they fail 2 expose d bokoharam let them be collectively punished.Hopeless idiots.

Boko Haram on the run

This can only mean one thing. The Boko Haram leadership is suffering serious losses and are beginning to get worried.

I prefer BH than JTF

BH kills only when necessary. JTF kills always, disvirgin our little girls, rape our women, steal our freedom, goods and wealth. If I don't report, wetin go happen? Foolish dogs, you only protect yourself, govt.and the high thieves ONLY
