The military authorities are planning a major operation designed to retake some of the territories lost to the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East of Nigeria.
Among the major territories in custody of the insurgents are Bama, Gwoza, Baga and others.
It was learnt that the top leadership of the nation’s security machinery and the policy makers approved the request of the military to declare a full onslaught against the Boko Haram after watching latest video released by the leader of the sect.
It was further gathered that the recent video released by the Boko Haram in which the sect threatened the President and boasted to overrun the country and her neighbours, caused great concern in political and security circles.
It was stated that the security forces were already instructing people to move out of enclaves in custody of the Boko Haram as part of the efforts to reduce collateral damage in the planned ground and aerial operations.
Investigations showed that the countries making up the Multi-National Joint Task Force- Nigeria, Chad and Niger, and Cameroun were joining forces to stop the Boko Haram threat in the area.
Nigeria had reportedly secured the cooperation of the countries in the Chad Basin to prevent the free movement of the Boko Haram members across the nation’s northern borders.
The operation is expected to involve deployment of ground troops and the newly received platforms of the Nigerian Air Force.
Items which included armoured personnel carriers, attack helicopters, arms and ammunition were said to have been imported into the country through land and air.
Apart from those that were received at the Lagos Port, the military authorities were also said to have taken delivery of equipment at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, and the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.
The items were said to have been imported from Russian, Belarus, Ukraine and other eastern European countries.

Unserious military playing politics with the blood of innocent, ill-equipped soldiers and the down trodden populace here again come with a plan that will never work. All the weapons that will be deployed can be well assumed will end up in the hands of the insurgents either by by seizures after the insurgents might have overrun our military or by direct resale of the weapons to the insurgents by the corrupt military top hierarchy.
