Boko Haram disguises as women to avoid troops arrest.

The Boko Haram terrorist seems to be employing more ways to lash out their terror following the "heavy damages" and the rain-like bombardments they're suffering from the Nigerian troops in the fight to recapture Baga in the Northeast, and other towns.
The terrorists according to a statement by the Army spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Olukolade, now disguises as women to avoid being captured by the troops who are on codon and search operation.

The statement reads...........

“The cordon and search in Baga has revealed some terrorists disguising as women. The searches are also yielding more discoveries of arms especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.
Apart from those captured in the
course of fighting, many arrests of terrorists hiding in the town are being made and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.

“Meanwhile, in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves by the military, the Nigerian Air Force has stepped
up its air bombardment of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission.
The air strikes have been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets with required precision.

Terrorists are now in disarray as they scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their
locations in the forest.
“Having successfully liberated Baga where the terrorists have been marauding, the troops’ attention has now been focused on consolidation of the security of the area to pave way for return of citizens.”

President Jonathan extends the State of Emergency in North Eastern Nigeria

Today, the National Defence Council presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan has given a nod for the extension of the state of emergency in the troubled north eastern states of Nigeria.
The affected northern states includes Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa state.

The news was made known today in Abuja after the meeting by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke. He said the President would forward the request to the National Assembly for approval.

Boko Haram: State of Emergency may be extended

Due to the unending deadly activities of the Boko Haram sect, the National Defence Council met at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa to decide if the state of emergency in some North Easters States of Nigeria would have to be extended or not.
The affected States are  Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

The 3rd phase of state of emergency imposed on these states by the president will expire on Thursday which may have prompted this meeting today to determine the next line of action.
Though there has been media  speculations that the president may impose total military rule in the states since the partial imposition seems not to be yielding any Tangible result.

If the speculations works as thought, a military administrator will be appointed to take charge of the administration of the States.
Do you think that would be the best option for the president?
