Security forces did not engage Kagara kidnappers to avoid collateral damage, former DSS official claims…
A former assistant director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, on Monday, explained that the security agents who were ordered to rescue victims of Kagara abduction didn’t engage the bandits in a gun battle in order to avoid collateral damage.
Amachree, who stated this on Channels Television morning show: ‘Sunrise Daily’, noted that the bandits could easily use the captives as a human shield if the security forces had engaged them in a battle.
He also said the compound where the popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, met bandits in a forest in Niger State to discuss the release of the abducted students and teachers of Government Science College, Kangara, was very close to a military post.
He said, “When you see bandits like that if their number is large, you will decide whether you want to get reinforcement to move in there. Then secondly, sometimes they have hostages with them and the hostages then become human shields for them.
“So, if you go in there, there will be a lot of collateral damage. So, these are the considerations. I am not currently in the theatre of what is happening there. So, I don’t know what the commanders of that area are doing but I can tell you they are not just sitting down.”
According to him, the security officials were asked to drop their weapons at a nearby military outpost before they were allowed to gain entry into the compound where about 700 bandits were camped.
Responding to insinuations in various quarters about why Gumi was able to easily access bandits while security agents were finding it difficult to do so, Amachree said, “It is not a matter of they don’t know. I think they know but you know, you just don’t jump into 700 fully armed people because the tactics have to be planned properly to handle things like that.”

With what the Terrorist sheik said Boko Haram would definitely take over the bandits and fulani herdsmen and give them full Islamic jihad mission.
This would be the straw that breaks the one Nigeria scam
The military would be so overwhelmed from various angles that it would be a free for all

Cursed be anyone who gets paid to rig elections in this country, force evil leadership on us and is getting paid to defend evil in the media.
May they use all the money they are being paid to treat incurable disease that doctors cannot diagnose.
May the money they are being paid be used to pay ransom to release their kidnapped relations, spouses, children and parents.
As for those who are killing and kidnapping people in the country, may they lost their lives through fire accident and may terrible disease and afflictions locate them to the point that they will not remember to think about killing anyone else but will only think about how to recover their health.
May this be their portion and that of their accomplices.
May Nigeria and it’s citizens be free from every evil and triumph gloriously this year and beyond.
This is written and so shall it be….Amen.
