BBC Hausa reports that 15 security forces were killed and many injured in an ISWAP attack on the convoy of Gov Zulum yesterday. This followed the one in July that generated controversy. That a sitting Gov would be targeted twice in <3 months shows that BH remains a potent threat.
We often read spurious claims of defeat & chaos in BH from security forces and their surrogates, and those of us that dare tell the truth are branded by paid trolls as unpatriotic or even sympathetic to terrorists. That’s completely false. Nothing could be further from the truth
Lying and gaslighting can’t be patriotic. It’s the opposite cuz it downplays the enormity of the problem and leads to loss of more lives. Getting paid to lie that the threat has subsided when it remains potent is supporting terrorism. We can’t lie our way out of this situation.
*Sorry, the BBC report says 14, not 15, security forces as I mistakenly wrote. My mistake.
