JTF spokesperson, Lt.Col. Sagir Musa said in a statement that the Task Force’s ‘Operation Restore Order’ made the recovery in the Bulunkutu-Lawanti area of the metropolis during a follow-up operation in the residence the man, whom he described as “a wanted key commander of Boko Haram sect.”

The statement did not say whether the man or anyone else was arrested.

I think you need more of this

I think you need more of this question. But who is expected to answer this question brother. You think the government does not know them? If not, who is the government claiming to be dialoging with? Is it spirit or ghost? Please stop deceiving Nigerians for your selfish gain.

More intelligent work still to be done.

Thank God. We are gradually getting there. Allah will never be on the side of evil doers. Bravo.

WHITHER THEIR SPONSOR?

where is their sponsors? hope it's in that system and thats the only news we want to hear! The north will know no peace till we account for the horrible murder of our brothers and sisters for no just cause.

Naija East Coast...Uh Yesoo

THE BOKO NARRATIVE THE GOVT AND MOST NIGERIANS ARE WORKING WITH IS FLAWED AND THAT IS GIVING BOKO HARAM THE EDGE. IF YOU THINK YOUR OPPONENTS IS A FOOL WHILE HE IS NOT THEN YOU ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE. BOKO HARAM IS A COLLECTION OF HIGHLY EDUCATED AND RESOURCEFUL PEOPLE ESPECIALLY AT THE TOP. OBJ GOT A FIRST HAND WAKE UP CALL DURING HIS MEETING WITH THEM. HE WANTED TO SPEAK TO THEM IN HAUSA AND THEY INSIST HE SPEAKS TO THEM IN ENGLISH. DURING INTRODUCTION OBJ WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE SECOND DEGREES IN ENGINEERING, MEDICINE, MICROBIOLOGY, EDUCATION, COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ACCOUNTING.

IF REPORTS FROM GOVT SOURCES ARE TRUE, THESE ARE PEOPLE ABLE TO HACK IN TO COMPUTER NETWORKS AND OBTAIN INFORMATION (SSS SAGA). WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES WHO TREATS THEIR WOUNDED, WHY IS EVERY ARREST TURNING UP HIGH TECH DEVICES AND EQUIPMENTS, HOW DO THEY AVOID SURVELLANCE? THESE ARE NOT THE ACTS OF ILLITERATE ALMAJIRIS.

Living in denial is a terrible reality, people.

The north told us that na poverty de fuel boko haram killings. Those ammunitions we de see so, na free them get-am? I think this their theory needs more work to it abi? Facts and common sense do not sit very well with what the north is tell the world.

Living in denial is a terrible reality but a great coping mechanism is my take.

NO SPONSORS, REALLY?

Only an idiot will think there is no one sponsoring this satanic cult. Worse still, only a mischievous fool will try to sell this gabbage to intelligent Nigerians. So sad, the level we have decided to succumb to. Really? Anyway, time will tell. As long as the sponsors are out there Boko haram will always be with us. Northern Nigeria is going into the toilet and we are fooling ourselves. Someone is getting rich off the Boko haram menance while an average Northerner is going thru gnashing teeth and miseries. While I believe this menance is ebbing, we can't take our eyes off the ball. We need the sponsors, they are not ghosts. The federal government just need the will to confront them. As for Yusuf, may he rot in hell were he belong.

kudos to JTF

Good work there guys keep it up,2gether we wil defit dem wit God by our side. one Naija good people

BOKO HARAM IS THE ONLY SPONSOR, OSITA.

THEY GOT SHEIKH YUSUF AND ALL THE TOP COMMANDERS OF BOKO HARAM LINED THEM UP AND SHOT THEM. ONE ESCAPED AND WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE RESULT NOW. EVEN IF THEY KILL SHEIKH MUHAMMAD SHEKAU HIMSELF I WONT CELEBRATE BECAUSE I KNOW A MORE VIOLENT LEADER WILL TAKE OVER. I PRAY THAT THE NIGERIAN GOVT WILL UPROOT INJUSTICE, THE REAL CAUSE OF BOKO HARAM, BEFORE WE IMPLODE.

PEOPLE LIKE OSITA THINK THERE ARE SPONSORS, YET THE FIRST SUICIDE BOMBER WAS AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMAN THAT LEFT A 6 MILLION NAIRA TRUST FOR HIS KIDS. GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH HE GAVE THE STRUGGLE ON TOP OF HIS LIFE. THE SOONER WE SEE THIS FIGHT FOR WHAT IT IS THE BETTER FOR ALL OF US.

WE SHALL WIN

Bravo to JTF. Nigeria shall surely win the war against TERROR. SHALOM!

Good job. The JTF needs more

Good job. The JTF needs more of this type of undercover digging to get to the sponsors of this devilish group. If this effort can be sustained, the group's followership will be depleted soonest. It is just crazy how some bunch of lunatics chose to be killing innocent people in the name of a satanic faith.

well done jtf

Good good to our security agencies once.

THE BH IS A WELL SPONSORED ORGANISATION.

Going from the items recovered by the JTF,the BH is a well oiled killing dynamo.The sponsors are,wealthy well connected, politically motivated and possibly with military background.
Unless those sponsors are exposed and neutralized,Nigeria will keep going closer to disintegration,the people can only bear so much,the north is bound to loose out.

Yes o

Does the laptop contain list of sponsors?

I want be member of

I want be member of saharareporters

Excellent:Congrats JTF

We in Maiduguri can confirm this positive development. Maiduguri is now gradually returning to peace. We have now resolved to expose all remaining BH members by providing valuable information to JTF, but it requires mutual trust and confidence. JTF must be friendly and stop offending our culture, religion and human rights. They should also search both the political and criminal elements who wear garment of BH to perpetrate crime and criminality. Well done.

Score card improvement

This is a plus on the scorecard of the JTF,but i hope the weapons do not find their way into Onitsha market as a product for kidnappers and dare-devil robbers terrorizing our highways everyday.

BRAVO TO NIGERIA ARMY

I AM PROUD OF OUR SECURITY AGENCIES, KEEP IT UP, I KNOW SOON THEIR CWAWARD LEADER WILL CAPTURE TO NAIL THEIR BARBARIC AND PRIMITIVE ACTIVITIES TO AN END!
