Proof that Chibok schoolgirls' release was never a scam - The Nation's Journalist
A journalist from The Nation Newspaper, Olola Seun Akioye, has this morning recounted the happiness that lifted the face of the brother to one of the newly released 82 girls, when he got the news of his sister's return on Saturday, May 6.

Akioye shared the story to prove that the abduction and release of the Chibok schoolgirls was never a scam as some Nigerians speculates. This story was shared via his Facebook page, thus find it below;
"I received a phone call today from Bitrus Wavi, a resident of Chibok in Borno state. During my last trip to the town last December, Bitrus was one of my guides, he borrowed me his bicycle to ride around and would take me to the homes of parents whose daughters were missing.  
"After a hard day's work, me and Bitrus would relax under a shed, eat suya and coke. Bitrus' sister Mariamu was among the girls abducted, the day it happened, he jumped on his okada, armed with a stick and pursued the terrorists foolhardy.  
"His parents, who are both blind have relocated to the farm, unable to cope with the incident. But Bitrus never allowed his personal sorrow to change him, he rejoiced with the girls who returned and mourned with those still missing.  
"I kept in touch with Birtrus and other wonderful families in Chibok like the Allen family who housed and fed me, I slept in their best room and ate the best food. (God bless them).  
"So Bitrus called and told me excitedly ." My sister has been released, she is one of the 82 girls released."
"I have never been happier, seeing this happen and you are a witness to history. 
 
"Thank you Jesus, we look forward to the rest coming home.  
"Thank you Journalism, to those still saying it is a scam, I will not abuse you, may the Lord forgive you, that sort of wickedness takes people to hell straight.  
"Think of Bitrus' blind parents and the grieving mothers of Chibok.  
"If some of the girls can't speak English, it is not only in Chibok that SS 3 students can't speak English, I did several studies in Kano, Adamawa, Bauchi, went to their innermost schools, Victor Emeruwa can bear me witness, the students cant speak english, it is the problem of the North.  
"Here is the marked portion on my story on December 31n 2016 in The Nation where I mentioned Mariamu and Bitrus. All is well, it ended well."

*Buratai recalls with sadness how the combatants gave their life for his during a Boko Haram surprise attack
*The zones remaining to be conquered are just the peripheral that lies along the border between Cameroon and Nigeria
How Army General, Burutai escapes death during Boko Haram Attack

The Nigerian Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai has remembered how close he was to the dead during an ambush laid by Boko Haram terrorists.

According to the The Nation, Buratai recollects with sadness the attack that almost cost the country its military head and how the incidents took the lives of some gallant soldiers that fought to safeguard him.

Buratai narrated: “I was with them and my convoy was ambushed by Boko Haram. Instead of withdrawing back to Maiduguri, I said, ‘No! We are in this together, I can’t go back. We must all go together to clear the ambush.

"So I advanced with them and that was how we cleared the ambush. If the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) does not turn back, who would turn and run from such an ambush? I advanced with the troops and it paid off.

“Unfortunately, we lost two soldiers; one of them was an officer. One other soldier, a Brigadier-General, got wounded in the attack.”

Talking about the success rate of the war with Boko Haram in the last two years, the army General said: “The situation before we came in. Buratai says he it is sad to remember those that gave their lives for him.

“We came at a time when truly the challenge of the insurgency was very high. It was at its peak. There is no gainsaying that some progress had been made before we came in.

“But the progress that was made before we came in was being overtaken by the virtual resurgence of Boko Haram terrorist group.

“At the time we came, there were only four local governments that were not under the Boko Haram terrorist group’s control out of about 27 local governments in Borno. Same in Yobe state; two local governments were still under Boko Haram’s influence. That was the situation we met when we came in July 2015.

“As at today, those two local governments in Yobe state have been reclaimed from Boko Haram. And in Borno, all the 23 LGAs that were under the influence and control of Boko Haram have been liberated and they’ve been effectively put under the control of the elected government.

“The areas that are remaining are just the peripheral that lies along the border between Nigeria and Cameroon. And Chad and Niger borders as well. No single local government isunder the control of Boko Haram. To me, this is a major achievement and source of fulfilment.”

There are so many Shekau faces, we will soon capture the real one- Nigerian Army
Major General John Eneche, who is the Director Defence Information (DDI), has said that the military has failed to arrest the leader of Boko Haram sect, an Islamic Jihadist group, Abubakar Shekau because there have been so many faces tagged to Shekau.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Eneche assured Nigerians that the military is working towards capturing the authentic Shekau.

He sai: “There were so many Shekau faces. That was what was responsible for that. But we will get the real thing. We have now come to know that the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended. So, that is the truth. 

When Osama Bin Ladin was killed, they went further to do a DNA test. That was what happened. 

The truth is because of so many faces of Shekau that came up, that was what brought about the mix up. 

But it is true the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended, and we will get him.”

Muslim woman who was lambasted online for walking past Westminster bridge horror finally speaks
Muslim woman who was bashed online for "walking past an horrific incident at Westminster bridge" has finally opened up.

The Muslim woman who was pictured looking at her phone while moving past a victim who was being treated on the pavement at Westminster Bridge on the day a terrorist used his car hit the passers-by, has responded to trolls for slamming her over the photo without understanding what really happened.

Speaking about the event to an organisation which supports victims of anti-Muslim hate, Tell Mama, the lady said she was devastated and confused, that she had assisted the victims before picking her phone to call her family.

She narrated by saying: "I'm shocked and totally dismayed at how a picture of me is being circulated on social media. I have been devastated by witnessing the aftermath of a shocking and numbing terror attack.

"To those individuals who have interpreted and commented on what my thoughts were in that horrific and distressful moment, I would like to say not only have I been devastated by witnessing the aftermath of a shocking and numbing terror attack, I've also had to deal with the shock of finding my picture plastered all over social media by those who could not look beyond my attire, who draw conclusions based on hate and xenophobia.

"My thoughts at that moment were one of sadness, fear, and concern. What the image does not show is that I had talked to other witnesses to try and find out what was happening, to see if I could be of any help, even though enough people were at the scene tending to the victims.

"I then decided to call my family to say that I was fine and was making my way home from work, assisting a lady along the way by helping her get to Waterloo station.

"My thoughts go out to all the victims and their families. I would like to thank Jamie Lorriman, the photographer who took the picture, for speaking to the media in my defence."

A British man, Patrick Kabele, who converted to Muslim in order to become a terrorist has been caught in an attempt to join ISIS.

He owns a diary in which he documented his wishes to buy a nine-year-old sex slave and to die for terrorism by joining ISIS and partake in their destruction of lives.

Kabele is currently in jail awaiting Judgement from the court after being caught while boarding a plane from Gatwick to Turkey with the money to purchase a child sex slave.

The court was surprised when they discovered evidence on his phone in which he said that he wants a sex slave and “the younger the better” and that he would desire to die young and strong, equating himself to a samurai warrior.
His diary reads:

“My mind is made up. It is hijrah and no other way. You only do this once type of s**t. The goal is to get to the straight and narrow in the lands of Islam.”

His diary read: “If I ever marry again it has got to be a virgin 9yrs old as what i would want. The younger & more experienced the better. I wouldn’t rule out a matron to protect myself from the sun till I have the funds for a young virgin. I dont kiss anymore.”

“My new and only 'dua' till I die, Amin, to migrate to the lands of Islam, fight jihad with the sword against the enemies of Islam/ die in battle fighting jihad, not to have a long life – I want to die young and strong.”


“Make 'dua' for ISIS. Ask Allah to rectify their affair as regards suicide and to grant them victory.
