SHOCKING!!! JTF's latest discovery in Borno

A Pages Of My Heart reader just sent this to me to share with you guys. 

Here is his report:

The Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Restore Order has revealed shocking discoveries in Maiduguri, Borno State capital which has been the hub of Boko Haram insurgents. The JTF found mass graves, tunnels and bunkers.

JTF spokesman Lt.-Col. Sagir Musa showed reporters shallow graves, tunnels and bunkers at Bulabulin Nganaram yesterday. Bulabulin Nganaram is purportedly the main stronghold of the insurgents.

According to the task force, many decomposing bodies were found in the grave so also were weapons which were also buried to hide them from probing eyes. He said Boko Haram men who died in gun battles with security troops were buried in the graves.

There was a big bunker where the JTF said it discovered a cache of weapons. The bunker, according to the JTF, was dug behind a two bedroom apartment, making residents to believe it was a sewage pit. There were also tunnels, which are believed to have served as passage for the insurgents from their hideouts.

Boko Haram combatants are known to retrieve the bodies of members killed in clashes. The corpses allegedly found at the site may be those of Islamist fighters killed in previous battles and later buried by the group.

Lt-Col. Musa in the statement said the discovery followed the dislodgment of the sect from their main enclave of Nganaram, Aljajeri and Faluja within Maiduguri metropolis between July 3 and 8.

“During the encounter, some terrorists were killed in the fire fight, including the main Amir of Bulabulin Nganaram (who was on the wanted list of the JTF with a ten million naira bounty). He was responsible for the killing of a teacher and three students of Sanda Karami Secondary School, Ruwan Zafi Maiduguri. Many abducted women, girls and children were rescued and handed over to their families by the Task Force.

“During the search of the areas, many arms and ammunition of various calibres buried in houses and cemeteries were recovered. Decomposing corpses of those killed by the terrorists were also found in soak-away and mass graves of terrorists killed. Troops also discovered vast network mouse-holes linking compounds and underground tunnels as well as bunkers under houses. Troops are still searching the area for more weapons, ammunition and mass graves. The JTF uses this opportunity to appeal to members of the public for support and more information on terrorists’ activities.” the JTF said.

The security forces continue to enforce a mobile phone shut down in much of the northeast, including in Maiduguri. The communication blackout was imposed in mid-May to block Boko Haram fighters from coordinating attacks amid an ongoing offensive aimed at crushing the insurgency. With no mobile phone service, it has been difficult to verify or corroborate the military’s accounts of any clashes.
