Photos: Troops discover pit where Boko Haram dumps bodies of their victims to decompose

A statement by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman:
Troops have intensified efforts to clear the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in various parts of the north east through various military operations on daily basis. It is in line with this that troops of 7 Division Strike Group Team B attached to 22 Brigade embarked on combination of foot and mobile fighting patrols on daily basis to deny the Boko Haram terrorists freedom of action in their area of operations.
Yesterday Thursday, 28th April 2016, they embarked on such efforts in the general area of Bogoro, Duguno 1, Duguno 2 and 3. However, on reaching Mbaraka, they encountered some elements of the Boko Haram terrorists who engaged the patrol team in a gun battle. 


The troops rose to the occasion and successfully cleared the terrorists and proceeded to Jadda village which was suspected to be strong hold of the Boko Haram terrorists. As rightly believed, a large number of them were discovered to have the terrorists group’s flags hoisted in their domains.
 
The troops engaged the Boko Haram terrorists and killed 4 of them. The patrol team also made another startling discovery, a big pit where the Boko Haram terrorists used for dumping bodies of hapless victims of their nefarious activities to decompose. 
 
It was also discovered that the terrorists held lots of people as hostage in Jadda. The fighting patrol team also succeeded in freeing those held hostage and recovered an AK-47 rifle with registration number OF-4814, 30 rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, 12 rounds of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition, 14 Dane Guns, 1 motorcycle, 2 Solar panels and food storage facility. Other items include 120 litres of AGO and packs of Panadol.
 
Sadly, one of our soldiers suffered gunshot wound and was evacuated for further medical treatment. We are glad to state that he is in stable condition and responding to treatment.

Inmate gets in trouble for posting selfies in van on his way to jail

27 year old Shane Holbrook of Huntington, West Virginia, who was sentenced to jail for first degree armed robbery and malicious wounding after he shot a man at gunpoint in Feburuary 2016, posted pictures of himself in a jail-van transporting him to prison. The jail van belonged to the Cabell County Courthouse and he was being transported to the state's Western Regional Jail with some other inmates. In one photo he captioned it: 'Go hard all day.'
According to WEAR-TV, when they interviewed Holbrook and asked him why he posted those photos, he said he wanted to reassure his family that he was doing well, and posted three selfies with the captions, 'On the van,' 'Go hard all day', and 'Catch up' over the course of at least 20 minutes.

He said:
"We were just trying to have a good time in jail. We're already here, why be miserable?'
Phones are considered contrabands and aren't allowed in jail or in the van transporting offenders to jail.
When Holbrook was asked about how he had access to the contraband, he said the cell phone was 'within reach'.
He said: 'It just happened...Lightning strikes trees, comets fall to earth, a guy in jail gets a cell phone sometimes. That's just the way this works.'

The spokesperson for the jail released a statement that reads in part:
 'The Western Regional Jail and Correctional Facility authorities requires pat-downs of all individuals when they enter its custody as part of the agency's zero tolerance police against contraband.

'The incident in question remains under investigation. The device at issue was confiscated before the inmates entered the Western Regional Jail.' 
His friends responded by laughing at his ability to post while on his way to jail. Read some of the comments below...

According to a media statement from National Media Centre Corporate Communication South African Police Servic, four men,-two customs officials, an airline employee and a Nigerian national, are expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court next Tuesday after they were arrested by OR Tambo International Airport-based police for drug dealing and defeating the ends of justice.
