Nigerian WatchUS Marines currently in Nigeria to help the government combat Boko Haram terrorists have made their first arrests taking two male suspects into custody after they were found in possession of arms and ammunition during a targeted search.
Over the last week, US Marines have arrived in Nigeria to help with the fight against terrorism after Boko Haram took their war of terror to another level by abducting 234 pupils from Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in Borno State. Acknowledging that the matter was getting beyond its control, the Nigerian government swallowed its pride and accepted outside help.
With the abduction coming at a time when Nigeria is hosting World Economic Forum on Africa and inbetween two horrific bomb blasts in Abuja, there has been a lot of international offer of support. France, the UK, the US and China have all offered differing degrees of support in the form of intelligence, training and military assistance.
Since Wednesday, US troops have arrived in Nigeria where they are providing security for the WEF summit on Africa. It is expected that the Marines will also join Nigerian soldiers in pursuing Boko Haram into the Sambisa Forest in Borno State where they are believed to have spirited the kidnapped girls to.
According to Major General Chris Olukolade, Nigeria’s director of defence information, two suspected Boko Haram members were arrested at Anyibe in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State. He added that the duo, made up of a teenager and an elderly man, were arrested during a cordon-and-search operation and found to be in possession of firearms.
Weapons found in their possession included two rifles, three locally fabricated pistols and 61 rounds of special ammunition. Apparently, the arms were found in the possession of the teenager he is currently undergoing interrogation in custody.
US marines are highly specialised soldiers who have been deployed effectively in areas affected by serious conflict and terrorism such as Afghanistan and Iraq. It is not yet clear how many Marines will be deployed to Nigeria as part of the current operation or if they will establish a base in Borno State.
Baloney! I’ll bet even that picture is staged.
2 to1 says that’s some random guy they just grabbed out of his hut for a “photo op.”
Ha, I could almost bet that that picture is of some sorry black guy some where in the Good Old US of A. 🙁
The next thing the US military will be doing is arresting people for picking their noses in a public place in Faroutstan! This is a gross misuse of American military power. If Nigeria needed help, they have fellow African states who would likely help. We should inundate Congress with protests about this. If we don’t stop this, then it’s conceivable that the bought and paid for Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada will be calling on the Chicom Ministry of State Security to help put down Clive Bundy and the pesky militiamen who came from all over the United States to help him. “Domestic Terrorists” you know, or so says Sen. Filthy Harry Reid.
Josey Wales
WTF is NATO or the UN…how about one of the many Billionaires that always promote their love for the poor (j/k they are all frauds).
Didn’t know that Marines still wore “Woodland” camos. Maybe it’s special issue for Nigeria??
This whole thing is hyped.
“their first arrests taking two male suspects into custody after they were found in possession of arms and ammunition during a targeted search.”
I guess the gun grabbers have won in Nigeria??
“With the abduction coming at a time when Nigeria is hosting World Economic Forum on Africa and in between two horrific bomb blasts in Abuja, there has been a lot of international offer of support.”
Perfect Timing?? Donations Donations Donations….
All this and the First B**** of the POS is doing the address for mother’s day?
REEKS of a SETUP!!
The minion sheeple are being played like fiddles. LMAO People are so gullible. Just tug at their heart strings and they will sanction anything. Anyone NOT crying BS on this one has got to be selling the snake oil to the masses.
Where are the real investigative journalists to dig into this and blow it wide open. Should be an easy one to expose.
So with boots on the ground the U.S. invades another country!!! How doe’s that famous lie go again, (I’m form the government and I’m here to help.) So tired of our kids being put in harms way for fights in other country’s that will not stand up for their own!!!
And who provided these “Boko’s” with arms and ammo?
Wonder what “resources” in Nigeria the Zionists American elites will be ransacking?
I believe I’ve already seen an article title or two questioning the validity of the ‘kidnappings’ themselves.
Sandy Hoax, anyone?
What resource is under the ground in Nigeria….?
I bet this is bullshit propaganda to justify more stealing.
