  • JTF denies circulation of BokoHaram threat letters.
  • The men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) a.k.a
    'Operation Restore Order' in Maiduguri, the
    Borno state capital yesterday denied the
    purported letters/ leaflets being circulated by
    suspected Boko Haram sect threatening
    people, especially informants and those
    supporting security agencies that their lives
    will soon be endangered as the sect will visit
    them one by one and kill them in their houses
    soon.
    This is even as some residents of Hausari,
    Gwange and other Boko Haram's stronghold
    areas of Maiduguri metropolis have expressed
    fear on the circulated leaflets purportedly
    written by Boko Haram sect members,
    warning them that anyone who gives
    information on their Modus Operandi or
    reveals their identity to security agencies, will
    end up endangering their lives and their
    families as a whole.
    The JTF said, the purported leaflets and
    letters claimed to have been written and
    being circulated by Boko Haram members in
    the state is not only fake, misleading, but
    untrue.
    The JTF while reacting to the threatened
    leaflets noted that the said statement are
    aimed at discouraging the support and
    cooperation of the general public to the
    security agencies in their effort to nip in the
    bud the problem of killings, bombings and
    destruction of property by the sects.
    In a widely circulated statement/release from
    the JTF Headquarters in Pompomari ward of
    the metropolis, which were pasted/distributed
    to strategic points on Sunday, including
    schools and hospital bill boards, a copy which
    was made available to our Correspondent,
    said, "the JTF wish to inform the public that
    such threatened letters are not authored truly
    by Boko Haram sect, but by those who do not
    want the relative peace being enjoyed in the
    state to be sustained, and therefore urged
    members of the public to disregard such
    threats as the JTF is working round the clock
    to ensure peace and unity return back to the
    troubled state".
    JTF however said, its men are ready to
    cooperate and continue to discharge their
    duties according to the ' Rules of
    Engagement', so as to rid the state of Boko
    Haram insurgencies.
    It also enjoined the general public to continue
    to give information to the JTF that will led to
    the arrest of any suspected Boko Haram sect
    in the state, stressing that any information
    given to the Task Force will be treated with
    utmost confidentiality.
