We have received sensitive reports that indicate a serious level of suspicion among Boko Haram top field commanders and the groups apex leadership. Mutiny is brewing in the Boko Haram formation.
The top leadership is suspicious of some of its top commanders sent to head conquest missions and plans to apprehend these Generals on suspicion of betrayal. Boko Haram members take very sinister oaths of allegiance, however some group commanders are said to be planning to work with the Civilian-JTF to attack the Shekau top command and later negotiate surrender and disarmament. Several commanders do not have true loyalty to the group’s mission and have been contacting Civilian-JTF for their cooperation in bringing the top leadership to its knees.
A top negotiator for the Jonathan government, Australian Dr. Stephen Davis recently revealed that some commanders had broken group rules and given him names of the sponsors of the group: ex army chief, Azubuike Ihejirika and former Governor of Borno, ALi Modu Sheriff were named. This violation of group code was bitterly received by the top sect command who have grown suspicious of certain of its tentacles.
The have been several reports in the past of Boko Haram soldiers, many forcefully conscripted hoping to find a way out, however the Nigerian army and Civilian-JTF gave them no such option in the past as once captured, they are summarily executed, leaving them the choice between slaughter on mere suspicion of violation in Sambisa camps or slaughter at the hands of the CJTF and Nigerian Military; this is why those members now out of range of the tightly controlled camps, sent on missions as far as Adamawa and Yobe are now negotiating with the CJTF to partner to wage war against the top Boko Haram leadership. The commanders described the Shekau leadership as mentally unstable.
Our sources indicated that Boko Haram leadership is distraught and desperate to kill these regional commanders before the commanders establish their splits. This may be the greatest threat to Boko Haram since its formation as the Nigerian military has never posed a serious or formidable threat to the terrorists.
Our sources also gave us information about the Ali Modu Sheriff led mission to Chad, indicating that Ali Modu Sheriff is a close buddy of the Chadian President and has much of his looted wealth stashed in Chad. Our sources also said that in the past, when Boko Haram members were chased out of Nigeria, only the Cameroonian Government arrested these terrorists, the Chadian Government allowed them relocate into Chad and also allowed their families come meet them there. Further stating that Ali Modu Sheriff who was arrested for Boko Haram terror-linked activities in Cameroon in 2012 can never go to Cameroon.

We will bring more information as we receive it…

Adebayo Obasanjo
 Lieutenant Colonel Adeboye Obasanjo was shot by Boko Haram members in Mubi, Adamawa state

The army officer son of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who was attacked by Boko Haram yesterday, is now said to be in stable condition.
Lieutenant Colonel Adeboye Obasanjo was reportedly shot in the legs while leading a platoon in Mubi, Adamawa.
He is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Center in Yola, the state capital.
The younger Obasanjo was supposedly visited by presidential aide, Doyin Okupe who revealed via Twitter that the soldier is now in stable condition.
Cameroonian troops have reportedly dealt a big blow to the Boko Haram sect by killing 100 of its members

According to reports, the Cameroonian army has killed "over 100" Boko Haram fighters who were attempting to enter its territory.

A spokesperson for the country’s government, Issa Tchiroma Bakary reportedly said in a statement, read out on radio, that the army had dealt "a severe setback" to Boko Haram.
The statement said:

"There were no casualties reported on the Cameroonian side after the attack,"
"Our defence forces responded vigorously with mortar fire aimed at the positions held by units of the Boko Haram terrorist group that was behind the attack."
"The Cameroonian response resulted in over 100 deaths among the aggressors,"

The statement reportedly added that the Boko Haram members were forced closer back to the Nigerian border town of Gamboru Ngala, which Boko Haram allegedly seized over a week ago.
Boko Haram militants attacked a platoon led by the son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, shooting him today. He sustained serious injuries to his legs and was being transported to the hospital at the time of this report.
Adeboye Obasanjo, an army engineer, was a Lieutenant Colonel at the 3rd Division in Jos, Plateau State.
He and his platoon were engaged with Boko Haram militants at Baza, which is the village of the General Officer Commanding of the 3rd division when the incident took place. The Lieutenant Agwu of the 234 battalion, GOC of the 3rd Division, Major Gen JS Zaruwa and Colonel Victor Ebhaleme who serves as the Brigade Commander of the 23rd Army brigade in Yola were all together advancing towards Michika when Boko Haram fighters unleashed the deadly attack on the soldiers.
Twenty four soldiers in the platoon were reportedly killed by the militants.
Apart from the dead soldiers, the army also lost an armored tank to the militants. As a result of the attack, the army has moved sensitive weapons from Mubi to the Brigade headquarters in Yola leaving Mubi vulnerable to attack. The town of Mubi has practically been deserted following the closure of schools and massive retreat of soldiers from the city.
The former president is currently traveling in Singapore according to family sources.
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday in Abuja called on Nigerians to pray for the nation’s security forces to enable them to contain insecurity in the country.
Jonathan made the call at the inauguration of the “Citadel and Towers”, the new complex of the House on the Rock Church, Abuja.
Represented by the Minister of Agriculture, Akinwunmi Adesina, Jonathan, who also inaugurated the Churche’s Cathedral in Lagos, said both structures were architectural masterpieces.
“We understand the importance of faith-based organisations in building a strong, peaceful, resilient and prosperous nation; your work in this regard is highly commendable.
“Like the citadel, Nigeria is rising, my government is working hard, supported by your prayers and the results are evident.
“Today, Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa; we are producing more food than ever before.
“There are renewal of our rail systems, improvement of petrochemical and gas industries, expansion of construction of roads and other infrastructure.
“Modernisation of our airports, improvement of our educational and health systems are receiving major attention’’, he said.
According to him, together we are building a Nigeria of our dreams; a nation destined for greatness by God, to become a beacon of light to nations.
“Yes, we have our security challenges, but none of these things should discourage us, we are working very hard to address the insecurity in some parts of the nation.
“Our security forces are facing enemies of progress who do not want our nation to prosper; those who maim and destroy.
“We must all arise and pray for our security forces, we must be encouraged everyday and indeed when the enemy shall arise, the Lord will lift a mighty standard against him’’, he said.
He expressed gratitude for the prayers of the church for Nigeria, especially for people in government and for the vision for the new church complex.
Jonathan expressed optimism that great leaders would arise from the Church and other faith-based organisations to move the nation forward.
Pastor Paul Adefarasin of the House on the Rock Church, said true transformation required discipline, integrity, unity, commitment, clarity of purpose and sharpness of vision.
He said the citadel being inaugurated was synonymous with the Biblical nation builder Nehemiah and thus Nigeria must stand guard physically and spiritually.
He harped on the need for social justice and equity in the land.
“Today, we stand in one of such structures built to protect our land and deliver social justice to all; the Citadel and Towers epitomises contemporary 21st century architecture.
“It behoves on us to remember the reason for which the citadel was birthed; this edifice has been prayerfully fashioned as a place of refuge.
“This centre is inspired by a clear understanding of the strategic role of faith based organisations as partners in national development.
“Government alone cannot be left to do the business of building our nation; we must all become veritable vehicles for the actualisation of social justice”, he said.
He said education cannot be overemphasised as a tool for national transformation and the church must play its role.
