Nigerian Army 'had four hours’ warning about kidnapping of 300 schoolgirls but failed to act'

Amnesty International said multiple sources have told them local troops could have stopped the atrocity and it is only someone who doesn't know Nigeria very well or maybe one of President Jonathan's henchmen will doubt this claim.

Netsanet Belay, the human rights group’s Africa boss, said: “The fact that Nigerian security forces knew about Boko Haram’s impending raid but failed to take the action to stop it will amplify the national and international outcry at this horrific crime.”

British intelligence officers is in Nigeria now to help trace Boko Haram, which wants to impose Islamic law on Nigeria.

Officers also hope to gather information about the network and the threat it presents here.

But sources say that British counter-terror staff already fear the hostage-taking could threaten civilians in the UK reports Mirror.com
Intelligence services believe the terror network may have contacts, even family members, in Britain.
A source warned: “British involvement in the Boko Haram operation may stir up resentment among extremists in the UK.

“Despite the horrific nature of their actions, extremists will make excuses for it and support their aims. This could present a threat to Britain as the Nigerian community is huge here reports Mirror .
“It takes only one or two to adopt the twisted Boko Haram faith and we have a huge problem, mirror.com reports

Seriously speaking, someone has to take the blame for this devilish Boko Haram strike. Someone in Government failed in his or her duties and that lead to where we are today. The earlier the incompetent personnels of the security sector is weeded out, the better we are positioned in fighting crime in Nigeria.
