Boko Haram Appoints New Emir In Bama

Yesterday, a new Emir was crowned by the dreaded terrorist group Boko haram in Bama. It would be recalled that on September 1, 2014, Boko Haram terrorist group reportedly took over Bama, the second largest town in Borno state.

Yesterday, a new Emir was crowned by the dreaded terrorist group Boko haram in Bama. This was made known to the National Assembly by Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno North. It would be recalled that on September 1, 2014, Boko Haram terrorist group reportedly took over Bama, the second largest town in Borno state. Though, the Nigerian Army later announced that it repelled the terrorists attack and killed over 50 of its members. But Senator Ali Ndume insisted that Boko Haram is still in control of Bama.

“Yesterday in Bama, a new emir was installed by the Boko Haram. Recently, we reluctantly under your leadership (Mark’s) and I will say maybe, under your influence or instruction, conceded to the third or fourth state of emergency“ he said.

According to him, if the state of emergency was not approved then, the situation in the area would have been worse but not more than what is already obtained today.

“In those days, when we approved the first and second state of emergency, our soldiers were not running away, but the story before us today is that our soldiers are forced to abandon their duty posts not only to run back to their headquarters, but to move in to another country-Cameroon.
We all know that Cameroon, as a country is not more than Lagos and Ogun states combined. So that means their strength cannot be more than Lagos and Ogun. And we have the army strength of more than 100,000 and I strongly believe that these Boko Haram members, even with the conscripted ones cannot be more than 10,000. But if you see the things that they did when they took over Gwoza, from the report I received, you would not imagine that the act was perpetrated by such insignificant number of insurgents” he said.
