How can Boko Haram Attacked Rice Plantation Slaughtered 43 People without Army intervention, When All Nigerians army are in Borno?

I do not think that there are abattoirs in Nigeria, where 43 cows could be slaughtered in a day, or in few hours between each other. I do not know if the butchers would feel very good with the smell of blood of animals, if they kill any of those cows for fun. They kill these cows because they want to satisfy the nutritional needs of their fellow humans.

But, what do human beings who leave their bases and stray into a farm to kill innocent farmers, stand to benefit? What inspires them, if not the need to embarrass our security architecture in this country?

Remember, Borno should have the highest concentration of armed forces than any other place in this country. Yet, a group of terrorists rode into a farm, detained some 43 persons, probably bound their hands behind them, took out their knives, and began to cut their necks, till they fell off their heads. One, two,… Forty three! Forty three human heads lying apart and the body lying the other side, and a stream of blood congealing to the sadistic pleasure of those animals!

Yet, there wasn’t as much as a shot in the air or a blare of a siren. Imagine the confidence, the temerity! Those guys wouldn’t have contemplated such carnage if they had any fears about the thousands of military men stationed every few meters in Borno (As they claim).

To appreciate why these deaths in the Northeast could rightly point to a sabotage by the military or a clear case of dereliction by the the military hierarchy, first understand that in the over ten years of Boko Haram insurgency, the elite class has almost remained safe in their hands. The ordinary people have always been at the receiving end of these murders and arsons.

Governor Zulum appears to be the only governor in the history of this insurgency that the Boko Haram has sincerely seen as a threat and they always attack him. Other governors before him were either in some kind of trade with the terrorists or were clearly nonchalant about the safety of their State or its people.

Something tells me that the federal government can do something about this whole embarrassing situation, if they really care to, but, what could be keeping them from acting decisively is what I have failed to understand.

May the blood of these 43 farmers and the bloods of thousands killed by Boko Haram, torment endlessly, everyone whose insincerity, incompetence, corruption and dereliction has emboldened these terrorists.
