Boko Haram Plans Massive Attacks In June To Prove President Jonathan Wrong.

Islamist militant group Boko Haram is
planning a series of coordinated mass
strikes in June 2012 to prove Nigeria's
President Goodluck Jonathan wrong on his
prediction that the activities of the group
would be fully curtailed by the end of June.
A source knowledgeable about the groups
plot said the group had recently distributed
copies of Mr. Jonathan's speech in Hausa to
its various cells to enable the various units
prepare for massive attacks on security
agencies, party offices and political figures
around the northern region.
In particular, the group plans to attack
governors Isah Yuguda of Bauchi, Jonah
Jang of Plateau; Babangida Aliyu of Niger
State; Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State, as
well as the former governor of Borno, Modu
Sherriff, all of whom it believes are
collaborating with security agencies to
arrest and kill their members. Also
reportedly marked for attack is the Defence
Minister, Mohammed Bello.
The source also revealed that due to the
sect's desire for more political acceptance in
the region it plans various attacks on the
political offices of the ruling People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) nationwide.
SaharaReporters has also learned that the
sect is planning to do an internal cleansing
by killing those believed to have sold out on
other members. Interestingly the sect source
also revealed that Boko Haram has now set
up an Internet monitoring platform to
monitor discussions of their activities.
Visiting Seoul, South Korea, last week, Mr.
Jonathan made the impolitic announcement
to Yonhap news agency, that his
government would have overcome Boko
Haram by June. It was not clear how he
arrived at such a deadline, or why it was
necessary to broadcast it, giving his
government’s poor track record with the
militants and security in general.
