Hundreds of Boko Haram terrorists feared killed in Adamawa

A fierce gun duel is taking place between members of
the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents and Nigerian
troops who have been intensifying efforts to reclaim
territories captured by the insurgents in Adamawa
Northern zone.
Reports from the area indicate that about 200
insurgents may have been killed in this latest offensive
forcing them to retreat as Nigerian troops took control
of Michika.
According to a source, “the Nigerian troops have
gained an upper hand in the ongoing war to rout the
insurgents out of Michika town which has been under
the grip of the insurgents for close to a month.
“Nigerian troops are advancing towards Gulak in
consolidation of the success they have made but the
insurgents launched an offensive against them leading
to the fierce battle between the two sides which is on
as at the time of filling this report.”
Another source from Michika said Nigerian troops
entered the town following a phenomenal success they
made against the insurgents who suffered severe
casualties.
“The Nigerian troops have gained entry into Michika
and are now fully in control of the town having killed a
lot of them (the insurgents),” the source said.
The sources, however, added that it has not been an
easy feat for the Nigerian troops as they are facing stiff
resistance from the insurgents as they advance
towards Gulak.
He added that that both sides have been in a
prolonged gun duel as many insurgents and
ammunitions were deployed to counter the troops.
“There is heavy fighting between the insurgents and
Nigerian troops as the insurgents are doing everything
to frustrate the effort of the Nigerian troops and many
people who are trapped in the towns are now sneaking
out following intensified fighting,” our source said.
“The gallant Nigerians soldiers were attacked from the
back by the militants but the military men engaged
them in a fierce battle for over five hours back.”

TB Joshua claims he warned of building collapse

TB Joshua claims he warned of building collapse

Controversial Nigerian pastor TB Joshua claims to have
warned people about the tragic building collapse which
led to 115 deaths.
Joshua stated in a Facebook post last Sunday that he
warned people and prepared them during the three
weeks prior to the multi-storey guest house collapse.
The Synagogue Church of All Nations(SCOAN) founder
had previously alleged that a terror attack was behind
the tragic six-story collapse and showed a clip from
CCTV footage of a plane flying over the building
several times.
Joshua who is known for his prophetic visions was
widely criticised for not being able to prophecy this
tragedy.
In response he took to Facebook and warned his
critics against accusing him of failing to foresee the
disaster. “For the three weeks before the incident, if
you heard my message and sat down, you would
know I was giving you a vision and prophetic Word on
how to handle the situation at hand,” said Joshua
According to Joshua, all the “Satanic agents”
criticising him over the circumstances surrounding the
incident, would soon “suffer for it.”
“I pray the satanic agents should be the only ones to
suffer this. I said, our God will get back to them. Warn
your family and brothers about their talk. You will
know I am a man of God this time. People who are
looking for your downfall and run to disturb your spirit,
warn them to be careful of their tongues and the
people who come to them. God is a God of vengeance
– anybody can go for it,” he wrote.
The prophet insisted that the 115 victims were martyrs,
adding that their relations would see the continuation
of the work of God, “that is what they died for, suffered
for and are living for.”
“The martyrs, victims and relations want to see your
faith grow; they want to see the work of salvation and
the work of God in your life continue. They want to see
you serve the Lord the more. The only way you can
allow the work of God to continue is to be with yourself
and God, not to allow intruders and people around you
to advise you and tell you what to do when they could
not stop what happened.

A cordon-and-search operation by a joint security task
force comprising the State Security Service (SSS),
army, police, navy and National Drug Law Enforce­
ment Agency (NDLEA) has led to the discovery of arms
and ammunition at a notorious criminals’ hideout, in

One suspect was also arrested during the operation.
During the operation, a tent erected by criminals in the
bush and their shrine were set ablaze, while a suspect,
who gave his name as Ogbonna was arrested with a

Ogbaru Local Government Area and arrested a woman
popularly known as “nurse,” who ran the home with
her agent. The security operatives, according to our
source, rescued three teenage pregnant girls during the
operation.
The bubble burst, the source said, when one of the
pregnant girls was delivered of a baby boy but was
dispossessed of the baby, which made her to raise the
alarm. The source alleged that the baby was later
recovered from the owner of the home by the security
operatives and handed over to the mother.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer
