Emergency: Condoms, narcotic drugs flood Boko Haram camps

Indications that Boko Haram insurgents
who say they are against Western
education and anything to do with the
west, have been deceitful, emerged
yesterday after troops found packs of
condoms, used and unused, in their
camps.
Also found were syringes and narcotic
drugs believed to have been used by
the insurgents to get high before
embarking on their deadly attacks.
A statement by the Director, Defence
Information, Brig-General Chris
Olukolade entitled, 'Life in Terrorists
Camp: Condoms Everywhere', reads,
"More of the dirty sides of the
insurgents' life style are being revealed
as troops continue to stumble on
strange and bizarre objects such as
several used and unused condoms as
well as charms and amulets of various
shapes seen in the captured terrorists'
camps.
"Other common items are syringes, test
tubes and hand gloves usually found in
the rubbles of most of the destroyed
camps.
"Apart from chemicals and materials for
producing Improvised Explosive Devices
(IED) narcotics of all types are also found
to be common features as troops
combed through camps in Sambisa
forest, New Marte, and others.
"Meanwhile, Defence Headquarters (DHQ)
Assessment teams are in Yobe and
Adamawa States to update the reports
on the conduct of security operations in
those states since deployment of troops
in line with the State of Emergency."The outcome will also be presented for
DHQ's further strategic guidelines for the
subsequent phase of the operations.
'Video clips on civilian casualty is fake'
"The Defence Headquarters has noted
the dissemination through the channels
of Aljazeera Television reports alleging
massive civilian casualties in the
ongoing security operations.
"It wishes to point out that the video
clip being shown on the Aljazeera
reports has no bearing whatsoever on
the current reality in the operations
areas.
"It is noted in particular that the
footages being referred to as civilian
casualties were actually pictures of the
destruction perpetrated by the terrorists
at the police stations and prisons in
Bama, Borno State on 7 May 2013 when
the insurgents attacked the town"
