 Nearby, little girls who fled the brutal Islamists in neighbouring 
Nigeria huddle around jigsaw puzzles, while barefoot young boys in 
ragged clothes or shirtless play football and table tennis.In a shed at the heart of the Assaga refugee camp in southeast Niger,
 around 50 children sing and dance, masking the deep emotional trauma 
inflicted on them by Boko Haram.The camp has no school, but staff from UN agencies and specialised 
charities do their best to help the youngsters, who make up the majority
 of the around 6,000 refugees here who were routed from their villages 
by Boko Haram.Special help is being provided by psychologists to 1,011 of the 
children, seen as among the most vulnerable victims of the violence, to 
adapt to a new life, often in the wake of terrible events.“Many children were witnesses or the direct victims of atrocities by 
Boko Haram,” says Adama Cossimbo, head of the psychological help centre 
financed by the Italian non-governmental organisation COOPI.“Boko Haram forced some children to watch their mothers or sisters 
being raped,” a UN relief worker says. “Others saw their father or their
 brother having his throat slit.”The trauma was so severe for some that when they first arrived in Assaga, they would not eat or speak, he adds.‘On the right path’According to COOPI, many of the children show signs of mental illness.“We’re developing games and activities to strengthen their resilience
 after the trauma they’ve endured,” says Cossimbo, who works with a 
psychologist and teachers.Along with sports and games, relief workers give puzzles and memory quizzes to the children cared for at the centre.Two months on, Cossimbo is optimistic. “They sing and seem to be 
their old cheerful selves. We’re on the right path towards their 
‘reconstruction’,” he claims with pride.Nine-year-old Ali lost part of his family in a Boko Haram raid and 
has said nothing for days on end, but he manages to whisper: “I escaped 
from Boko Haram and I feel good here.”For Ali’s father, wealthy bell pepper grower Elhadj Gremah, forced exile is sheer “humiliation”.<br />

“In the village, my children had all they needed to eat. Here they 
don’t go to school and they sometimes sleep on empty stomachs,” he 
complains.<br />

At Assaga, huts supported with tree branches compete with 
standard-issue tents provided by the United Nations. First created by UN
 staff three months ago, the camp looks like a shantytown.<br />

– ‘Severe security crisis’ –<br />

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that some 1.4 million 
children have fled Islamist attacks in Nigeria and neighbouring Niger, 
Cameroon and Chad in the past five months.<br />

These regional nations have joined forces against Boko Haram as the Islamists have launched bloody cross-border raids.<br />

“The flow of refugees and the lack of resources seriously compromises
 our ability to provide vital aid on the ground,” the UN agency recently
 reported.<br />

During a visit to the Diffa zone in mid-September, Toby Lanzer, the 
UN regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel, remarked on the 
“very severe security crisis” at Assaga.<br />

“The situation here is atrocious,” he added. “People are traumatised.”<br />

Diffa has for three years been confronted with food shortages because
 of successive periods of drought and floods. The arrival of about 
150,000 refugees since 2013 has worsened the situation for local poor 
people.<br />

“We have to act right now to save lives,” insists Rotimy Djossaya, 
the local chief of the American NGO CARE. The authorities warn that 
Niger, a deeply poor country, could face another food crisis in 2016 
because of a poor harvest.<br />

The Nigeria Army on Monday maintained that its warning to saboteurs 
of the ongoing operations in the North-East was not directed to the 
Borno Elders of Thought (BELT), a socio-political group. The Acting Army
 spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in a
 telephone interview in Abuja that the warning was misrepresented by a 
section of the media.He said that the Army command was explicitly clear on the matter and 
did not mention the names of any individual or group in the 
statement. According to Usman, the warning became necessary following 
series of malicious comments made in the social media about the ongoing 
operations.“ Of course, they are not happy with our successes because they are 
benefitting, one way or the other, from the crisis. “These people know 
themselves; we certainly were not referring to the Borno elders as 
contained in some of the media reports. “ So, it is wrong for anybody to
 now infer that we accused the Borno elders of undermining our efforts.“I can categorically tell you that the Nigerian Army has credible 
information that certain individuals and groups are making efforts to 
undermine and discredit the renewed fight against Boko Haram. “Their 
comments in the social media are indicative of this fact and there is no
 doubt as to what their motives are.“This is wrong, I will continue to state as I have stated in our 
previous releases that, we enjoy the support of the elders and those who
 are interested in peace, so the reports are false.’’ Usman insisted 
that the Army would not spare anyone that was bent on frustrating the 
efforts of security agencies in the war against Boko Haram.He said that the Army would act in accordance with the relevant laws,
 if those involved in the alleged sabotage refused to desist from the 
act. “Like I have said, we have warned and the next thing is to act in 
accordance with the laws, if they don’t stop. “The anti-terrorism act is
 there and the punishment for anyone found culpable of acts of terrorism
 will be made to bear the consequences.“Therefore, it is not a question of what are we going to do, anybody 
that is associated with terrorism or related acts and is found guilty 
will face the law.’’ He solicited for the continued support of the 
public to meet the timeline given by President Muhammadu Buhari to end 
Boko haram and restore peace to the North East.NAN recalls that the Army command had alerted the public about some 
individuals and groups, whose activities, it said, was inimical to the 
military operation in the North East.

Martins made the appeal in his Eid el-Kabir message in Lagos on 
Thursday, saying there was a need for Muslims and all Nigerians to use 
the period to seek for God’s mercy on the country.The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, the Most Rev. Alfred Adewale 
Martins, has urged Muslims also to use the Eid el-Kabir period to pray for 
quick and lasting end of insurgency in Nigeria.He urged Muslims to emulate the exemplary life of  Prophet 
Ibrahim (Abraham) who was willing to sacrifice his only son in obedience
 to divine ordinance.He advised the president to be cautious while negotiating with members of the Boko Haram sect.Martins commended President Muhammadu Buhari for giving the military 
three months to end insurgency but urged Nigerians not relent in their 
prayers as all human efforts without prayers were futile.“We are in support of the president exhausting all possible and 
realistic means of bringing back our girls and ensuring lasting peace in
 the Northeast.“We urge him to be cautious of the far reaching implications of every
 such move in view of the sensitive nature of the matter at hand,” 
Martins said.

at Janguoriri and Bulatori.He said the troops recovered some bows and arrows from Bulama who 
also confessed that a horse was given to him to carry out his deadly 
mission.According to Usman, one terror suspect, Mohammed Modu, led the troops to a point where he buried his AK 47 rifle.He said the Special Forces also rescued 241 women and children during the operation.The Acting Army Spokesman said Boko Haram kingpins had been

abandoning their commanders and burying weapons, one Mohammed Modu led 
troops to where he buried his AK-47 rifle at Jangurori village.“Apart from arms and ammunitions, bows and arrows recovered from 
Bulama Modu, the kingpin, he confirmed that the terrorists also gave him
 a horse to enhance his deadly pursuits.”Usman said the troops also arrested one Aji Gambo at Wudla village

Negotiation Between Buhari and Boko Haram.

16:10:00 Unknown 0

The talks between the Presidency and Boko Haram with a view to ending the carnage in the North-East have so far been carried out at an informal level, credible sources have told to Vanguard.

President Muhammadu Buhari disclosed in France, Tuesday, that his administration was indeed negotiating with Boko Haram on how to end the violence, but did not disclose who government was discussing with.

However, sources with knowledge of the issue, told Vanguard, yesterday, that some key elements of the sect were talking individually with the Presidency on how to achieve peace.

The development, according to the sources, is coming following sustained military bombardment of Boko Haram havens.

The source, which has been involved in previous negotiations between the government and the sect leadership, pointed out that there had not been any formal dialogue on a ceasefire with the Presidency.

The source said: “It is true there has been an informal line of communication between the Presidency and the sect members, but the leadership has not mandated anyone on its behalf to begin discussions with the government.

“Unlike before when the Department of State Services, DSS; office of National Security Adviser, NSA, and other agencies of the Presidency were all reaching out to even phantom groups and individuals claiming to be representing the sect and claiming non-existing peace, this President has not made any formal contact with the sect yet.”

Buhari:Let Boko Haram Bring All The Girls and Then, We Will......

17:53:00 Unknown 0

PARIS–President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday in France stated that his government has kicked off negotiations with Boko Haram to secure the release of over 200 Chibok girls.

It will be recalled that about 219 school girls were abducted by the Sect from their school in Chibok Community, Borno State over a year ago.

Speaking with members of the Nigerian community in France under the auspices of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), president who is currently on a three day official visit to the frnech country stated that the global attention and sympathy the ugly incident has attracted informed the negotiation.

He however disclosed that the government was making frantic effort to determine the genuine leaders of the group.

President Buhari also vowed not to release the developer of the Sect’s IED’s which according to him was a condition advanced by the Group of releasing the girls.

He said: “The issue of Chibok girls has occupied our minds and because of the international attention it drew and the sympathy through out the country and the world, the government is negotiating with some of the Boko Haram leadership.”

“It is a very sensitive development in the sense that first we have to establish, are they genuine leaders of the Boko Haram. That is number one. Number two, what are their terms, the first impression we had was not very encouraging.

“They wanted us to release one of their leaders who is a strategic person in developing and making Improvised IEDs that is causing a lot of havoc in the country by blowing people in Churches, Mosque, market places, motor parks and other places. But is very important that if we are going to talk to any body, we have to know how much he is worth.

According to him, “Let them bring all the girls and then, we will be prepared to negotiate, I will allow them to come back to Nigeria or to be absolved in the community. We have to be very careful, the concern we have for the Chibok girls, one only imagine if they got a daughter there between 14 and 18 and for more than one and a half year, a lot of the parents who have died would rather see the graves of their daughters rather the condition they imagine they are in.”

He added that “This has drawn a lot of sympathy though out the world, that is why this government is getting very hard in negotiating and getting the balance of those who are alive.”

President Buhari also assured the Nigerian community that his government would revitalise the economy and restore the glory days of Nigeria.

Some members who fielded questions requested the president to factor in the sufferings of the disabled in the Country just as they also asked to be accorded voting rights during elections.

<br />
Twenty-one-year old Tabitha Adamu, one of the women freed from the sect’s camp and handed over to the Borno State Government last week, said the girls had turned to Boko Haram fighters.

Tabitha, who is expectant for one of the sect’s commanders who forcibly married her, said she mingled with the girls at various times in the sect’s camp.

According to Tabitha, she was taken from Bayan Dutse in Gwoza Local Government Area, when the insurgents invaded her village.

She said: “They killed my father and brother. They took me along with my mother but at some point we were separated. Since then, I’ve not set my eyes on my mother. When he (Abu Kabir, my Boko Haram husband), wanted to marry me, he gave the women who were taking care of us N5,000 as my bride price.

“Before the marriage, I was asked to convert to Islam. I did so because many who refused were killed and they gave me a name (Samira). I answered the name but I know my true name is my real name. When we were rescued I told the soldiers that my name is Tabitha.

“They asked me if I am one of the wives of the Boko Haram and I told them my story. They felt for me and they treated me well.

“Many people asked me since we were liberated, particularly about the pregnancy. I don’t know the right answer to give because I actually do not know what to do. It has happened. I don’t know what the authorities would do about it but I think it is too late to abort it. But my prayer is that I give birth safely.”

Tabitha said she completed her secondary education and earned a certificate in computer appreciation in Maiduguri before moving to join her parents in Gwoza, at the peak of the Boko Haram insurgency.

According to her, now that the government has promised to help her, she would be looking for a good future when she finally gains her freedom after the government might have trained her in a trade.

Nigerian Army Would Like to Reiterate and Renew its Commitment to Upholding Human Rights Principles and Practice.

13:30:00 Unknown 0

According to Usman, the Nigerian Army would like to reiterate and renew its commitment to upholding human rights principles and practice. “It has come to our knowledge that some foreign media, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and some of their Nigerian affiliates are about to start making false claims of human rights violations by the Nigerian Army.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Usman said the plot was to be executed via another false claim of human rights violation by troops in operation. He said the development was unfortunate and capable of frustrating the efforts of the military, while reiterating that troops and their commanders in the frontline would remain focused.<br />
<br />
The Nigerian Army says it has uncovered a plan by some foreign media in partnership with collaborators in Nigeria to undermine ongoing operations to end insurgency in the country. This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
 “It is clear that these groups and their collaborators are not happy with the progress made in the efforts to solve the security problems bedeviling our nation as manifested in the terrorists’ activities. “The implication of such act is not lost on us as it is capable of thwarting the gains in the fight against terrorism and insurgency, ‘’ he said.<br />
<br />
 The acting Army spokesman described the sponsors of the new plot to discredit the army as “unscrupulous, unpatriotic and driven by material and pecuniary gains rather than the wellbeing of Nigerians’’. He said the Nigerian Army had been protecting human rights and would not be party to any breach in Nigeria or during any of the military’s operations.<br />
<br />
 He, however, stressed that the army would not give in to antics that were calculated at frustrating ongoing efforts to liberate parts of the North-East plagued by the Boko Haram insurgency. “We would not condone any human rights abuses.

“Where there are allegations of human rights violation by any individual or group, this would be thoroughly investigated and those found guilty would be brought to book in accordance with extant laws.<br />
<br />
 “Therefore, the Nigerian Army would not succumb to blackmail and neither would it be distracted from its determined effort of defending the territorial integrity of our great nation and safeguarding the security of its citizens,’’ Usman said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Nigerian Army under Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai had recently received commendations from notable figures and organisations around the world for the level of professionalism exhibited by troops in the frontline.

09:40:00 Unknown

According to the special adviser on media and public affairs to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Turaki Hassan, the Speaker of Israali parliament, Knesset Mr. Yuli-Yoel Edelstein, disclosed this during a meeting with Yakubu Dogara on the sildelines of the ongoing Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in New York.<br />
<br />
President Muhammadu Buhari’s drive to rout Boko Haram insurgents before end of the year has received a global boost, as the Israeli government has promised to provide support and assistance in achieving the deadline set by the  Boko Haram.<br />
<br />
 Dogara had solicited for Israal`s support to Nigeria to help end Boko Haram and other security challenges, in addition to attracting investments in agriculture, solid minerals, energy and tourism.

Dogara also called for the establishment of Nigeria-Isreal parliamentary friendship group to help deepen bilateral relations between the two countries.<br />
<br />
 Responding, Mr. Edelstein said Israal will continue to support Nigeria`s fight against terrorism a,s according to him, there must be global action against insurgency.

Mr. Edelstein said terrorism is a threat to all nations and as such the world must unite to fight it saying: “we must unite to fight terrorism and not to divide them into ‘their terrorist’ and ‘our terrorists’.<br />
<br />
 Israel is committed to fight againt terrorism because terrorists use divisions between nations and even democratic countries.”

Dogara had told Mr. Edelstein that the international community must find a global solution to terrorism as no nation is insulated from its scourge.<br />
<br />
 He observed Israelis were able to transform a desert nation into one of the most agriculturally viable nation on earth and that other sectors such as solid minerals, energy and tourism have a lot of potential waiting to be tapped.<br />
<br />
He said Nigeria’s Northeast region where he comes from has been under Boko Haram occupation and the scale of devastation was unimaginable. The Speaker further urged the Israelis to invest in Nigeria’s agricultural sector which has the potential to create wealth and generate employment for millions of jobless youths.<br />
<br />
 The Speaker solicited for technical support from the Israeli parliament to enable Nigeria’s National Assembly establish its own security outfit by equipping the Sergeant-At-Arms.

He said plans are in progress to tranform the Sergeant-At-Arms into a modern and sophisticated security outfit as it is obtainable in other parliaments.<br />
<br />
 The Speaker also disclosed plans to establish a Nigeria-Israel parliamentary friendship group and said he will be visiting Israel in October to pay a courtesy call on his counterpart there.

<br />
The DSS revealed this following the arrest of about 20 suspected Boko 
Haram commanders in Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Plateau and Gombe states.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">According to the the Department of State Services (DSS) we now have Boko Haram members spread across Lagos state.</span><br />
<br />The DSS in a statement by an official, Tony Opuiyo, on Sunday in Abuja, said those arrested were notable commanders and frontline members of the notorious group from different parts of the country.<br /><br />
The suspects, who were arrested between July 8 and August 25, 2015, 
include the masterminds of the suicide attacks in Potiskum, Kano, Zaria,
 and Jos.<br /><br />
The statement noted that the group’s new pattern of movement and spread 
was caused by the pressure being put on it by security forces in its 
core areas of strength in the North-East.<br />
<br />
The service listed those arrested in Lagos to include <b>Bakura Modu</b> who was apprehended on July, 20 at Kara, Ogun State; <b>Mustapha Jamberi,</b> who was picked up on July 24 at Gowon Estate.<br />
<br />
Others are <b>Abuyi Sheriff</b>, who was nabbed at Ebute-Meta; <b>Babagana Ali</b> and<b> Babagana Koloye</b>, who were arrested on August, 7 at Eric Moore, Surulere.<br />
<br />
The service explained that it picked up <b>Abba Sagma</b> at Ijora Badia on August 9; <b>Grema Abubakar </b>and <b>Tijani Bagudu </b>were apprehended at Amukoko, Ijora Badia the next day, while <b>Baba Alhaji </b>and <b>Abass Ibrahim</b> were arrested earlier on the same day at the Alaba International Market, Ojo.<br />
<br />
The DSS stated that a Boko Haram commander, <b>Usman Shuaibu</b>, aka 
Money, revealed that he coordinated the suicide attacks in Potiskum, 
Kano, Zaria and Jos, which claimed several lives, with N500,000 that was
 provided by his Amir, one Isa Ali, who had a direct access to the sect 
leader, Abubakar Shekau, from whom he collected money to fund operations
 undertaken by their Markaz.<br />
<br />
The agency said, “Shuaibu also revealed that he had participated in 
several Boko Haram attacks, including the attacks at Gwoza Divisional 
Police Station in 2014.<br />
<br />
“Nigerians and indeed the general public have to note that the arrest of Shuaibu, aka Money, and the core members of his cell, stemmed the spate of bombings by the extremist sect. It will be recalled that Money and his group were arrested on their way to Bauchi State where they had planned to execute another bomb attack, and this was frustrated by the arrest.<br />
<br />
“He admitted to being the leader of the team of nine sect members that 
was dispatched from Sambisa Forest to carry out the attacks. He 
disclosed that four out of the nine of them were used as suicide bombers
 in executing all the (suicide) attacks.<br />
<br />“The sudden influx of Boko Haram members into Lagos State points is due 
to the determination of the sect to extend its nefarious terrorist 
activities to the state and in fact, to other parts of the country.<br />
<br />
“The arrest of these confessed terrorists has, however, helped in no 
small measure to avert devastating attacks in the area. However, the 
service is making efforts to conclude its investigations and commence 
prosecution of the suspects.”<br />
<br />
The DSS said a Boko Haram Improvised Explosive Device expert, Ahmed 
Mohammed, aka Abubakar), admitted to making the IEDs used in the various
 suicide bombings in the country.<br />
<br />
“Mohammed also averred that he was the one who strapped the suicide 
bombers, notably Sule and his wives, with IED vests, which they used in 
the attacks in Jos,” the service said.<br />
<br />
The secret service further stated that Adamu Abdulahi, aka Babpa, 
confessed that Shuaibu motivated him to work closely with IED expert, 
Mohammed, in the preparation of the IEDs used in the attacks under 
reference.<br />
<br />
The service said that another suspect, Ibrahim Issa, confessed that he 
was the one who carried out reconnaissance on the targets in Jos ahead 
of the attacks, while Muttaqa Yusuf (aka Mohammed Sani/Mudtaka), 
disclosed that one Aliyu believed to be Aliyu Gombe in Sambisa forest, 
was the one that ordered the serial attacks which the syndicate carried 
out.<br />
<br />
He further confessed that he assisted Shuaibu in planning and executing the said attacks.<br />
<br />
Other suspects include Ibrahim Audu, who was arrested on August 19 at 
New Artisan Market, Enugu; Ibrahim Haruna, arrested on August, 21 at 
Kwomi village, Kwami Local Government Area, Gombe State; Ali Mohammodu, 
nabbed on August 22 at Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Fagga LGA in Kano State; and 
Adam Jilbe, who was apprehended on August 23 at Obanikoro, Lagos State.<br />
<br />Meanwhile, the DSS has stepped up covert operations to dismantle Boko Haram cells across the country, particularly in the South-West, South-East and South-South where suspected terrorists are hiding.<br /><br />
The agency restated its determination to work with other stakeholders in
 the fight against terror and other forms of criminality in the country 
and called on citizens to volunteer useful information to the service 
and other security agencies.<br /><br />
It was learnt that the arrest of notable Boko Haram commanders had 
provided credible leads and intelligence that could assist the service 
to track down insurgents and their supporters, including ‘sleeper 
cells.’<br />
<br />
A source said, “The recent arrest of terror suspects has provided a haul
 of information and intelligence that could assist the service to 
dismantle various terrorist cells. If the security forces can sustain 
the current momentum, we will destroy Boko Haram; it is a matter of 
time.”<br /><br />
Two security experts, Richard Amuwa and Dr. Ona Ekhomu, have urged 
vigilance and a more friendly relationship between security agents and 
residents to tackle threats of Boko Haram, especially in Lagos.<br />
<br />
They said vigilance was the only way to recognise terrorists, adding 
that a friendly relationship would encourage the people to be free to 
report suspicious objects or persons in their neighbourhood.<br />
<br />
Ekhomu, who is the President of the Association of Industrial Security 
and Safety Operators of Nigeria, advised Lagosians to imbibe the culture
 of TAPIs ─ Terrorists Attacks Pre-incident Indicators ─ to avoid 
unnecessary deaths and tragedy.<br />
<br />
He said, “Boko Haram members have been with us for a while; so one thing
 we can do is to be vigilant against the influx of strangers into 
neighbourhoods. Landlords associations should register okada 
(motorcycle) riders and keke NAPEP (tricycle) drivers. Give them vests 
so that any stranger would be picked up.<br />
<br />
“Also, ask questions if anyone moves suspiciously in your area. Look out
 for one another. Everybody must be their brothers’ keepers.”<br />
<br />
Ekhomu said the ammunition of war of Boko Haram members was usually the IEDs.<br />
<br />
“So, if you see anyone collecting cans; or anyone with bags of 
fertiliser; or anyone with container of diesel when they don’t have a 
generator, be suspicious. These are ingredients for IEDs. Boko Haram 
don’t have easy access to high explosives,” the security expert added.<br />
<br />
He also urged Lagosians not to be confrontational if someone looked 
suspicious. He added that the suspect might be armed and could kill to 
save himself.<br />
<br />
Ekhomu said, “Contact the authority immediately. You can also contact 
the media to ensure accountability by the security agencies.”<br />
<br />
He said, “The people should not hesitate to raise the alarm if they see any strange face in their environment.<br />
<br />
Also, Amuwa said the police should be ready to work with the people without creating fear in them.<br /><br />
“People should think less about their problems, and be more conscious of happenings within their environment.”<br />
<br />
Amuwa, who is the Managing Director of the Mega Guards Services Limited,
 also advised the government to ban the wearing of hijab for the time 
being, saying the veil worn by muslim women, was being used by 
terrorists to shield explosives.<br />
<br />
He said, “The problem is that how do you detect a Boko Haram member? If 
you are wearing shirts and the terrorist is wearing hijab, how do you 
figure him or her out? That is why we have asked the government to stop 
the wearing of hijab for now.”<br />
<br />
In a related development sources told our correspondent that the 
security agencies had been paying attention to some area in Lagos to 
prevent attacks.<br />
<br />
The areas include FESTAC, Apapa, Agege, Yaba, Ojuelegba, Obalende, 
Ajegunle, Alimosho, Badagry, Lagos Island, Idi araba, Bariga, Bajulaiye,
 Fola Agoro, Onipanu, Palmgroove, Aguda, Agbado, Ejigbo and Ikorodu, 
among others.
