Helicopter dropping more arms and food for Boko Haram

Displaced residents of Monguno, in Borno State, which was recently
taken over by Boko Haram, have said they saw helicopters dropping
arms and food items for the insurgents in the tick bushes.
The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who said they spent about
48 hours in the bush running towards the city of Maiduguri,
expressed worry that the Boko Haram sect was not the only ones
involved in the insurgency, but that there are many foreign fighters
and some external supports.
Leader of the Nigeria Vigilante Group in Monguno, Muhammed Sani,
said he had, on several occasions, spotted unusual delivery of items
in big wooden boxes by air, and sacks being dropped in the bushes
around Marte and Monguno where Boko Haram terrorists were
camped.
“Even during the attack on Monguno, there was an aircraft that
came but did not do anything, not even dropping a single
bomb before it left; then another one later came around the
Monguno barracks and we saw four men alighting from the
aircraft, using a rope. The aircraft left, but we doubt if they
were soldiers...
“Even before then, some of my colleagues and I have been sighting
helicopters dropping items in sacks and some in boxes to them at
the camp of Boko Haram near Chikungudu and Kwalaram villages.
Many helicopters came to drop items packed in boxes and sacks to
the Boko Haram insurgents at a bush camp between Monguno and
Marte; then we would see the Boko Haram gunmen rushing to the
spot to pick the dropped items,” he stated.
The displaced vigilante officials said those that attacked Monguno
comprised hundreds of foreigners who looked like Chadians.
“Many of them looked like Chadian Arabs – they were light-skinned
with coiled hair, and there were many young men from Monguno –
who Boko Haram had abducted when Nganzai was attacked last
year – that were now active members of the sect.
“While Boko Haram members that are former youths of Monguno
were leading other insurgents to attack Monguno town, the
foreigners were the ones engaging soldiers near the barracks,” he
explained.
Sani, who said he had lived in Monguno for the past 20 years, said
he fled amidst the hail of bullets when the terrorists became
irritated by his anti-bullet charms that rendered bullets ineffective.
He claimed that his shirt and trousers were riddled by bullets, yet
he remained unhurt.
