Abakar Ali, also known as “Mustapher Umar” had the following weapons in his possession:  5 machine guns, 14 rifles, 4 rocket launchers, 24 rockets, 6 Kalashnikov (AK) assault rifles, 60 magazines for Kalashnikovs  (AKs), 4 automatic pistols. As concerns the ammunition then it included over 500 9mm ammo, 469 12.7mm bullets, 4,454 7.62 mm ammunition, 1,491 5.56 mm ammunition, 822 ammunition of 7.62 mm, 6 grenades, 28 rocket launcher chargers.

The officer informed that Cameroonian soldiers captured Boko Haram commander Ali along with two other sect members in the northern Cameroonian town of Kousseri.

It has been further learnt that Ali coordinated and led terrorist’s attacks in the border towns between Nigeria and Cameroon. The arrested Boko Haram commander was travelling between distant insurgent’s camps in the area, planned strategic moves and gave orders to initiate devastating attacks that targeted mostly civilians.

The Nigerian officer stated that the Cameroonian military was expected to share intelligence with their Nigerian counterparts regarding any confessions made by the captured terrorist during interrogation. He added that Nigerian security agencies are likely to learn more about Mr. Ali’s linkages with others in Boko Haram’s cells in Nigeria’s northeast area.

It would be noted that the Nigerian Army might have scored a decisive point in a war against Boko Haram after liquidating Shekau’s imposter: the man who was playing the role of the mysterious leader of the sect in all the latest videos by terrorists.

Besides four normal legs the cow has two extra limbs growing from the neck. According to the owner of the unusual creature, the extra legs don’t bother or hurt the animal but the cow can’t move them or use them. Local veterinary surgeons are ready to remove the unnecessary limbs that are not attached to major nerves or blood vessels.

As the owner of the cow are still thinking whether to sell the cow to animal parks or to keep it, the farm is fully jammed with curious journalists who claim that the anomaly is a genetic mutation caused by pollution. However, vets in the country have another view on the situation, saying that extra limbs appeared due to an absorption of a twin in the womb.

The farmer said: “I’ve raised the mother for five years and seen her through four births and I’ve never seen anything like this before. Everyone seems to want to see her though since a friend put some pictures of her on the internet. I get crowds of people here every day and all kinds of camera crews from TV stations.”

Actually, it is not the first time farm animals have been born with extra organs in China. Several months ago a piglet was born with 8 legs and one more pig was born with two heads instead of one.

12 Mi-35 Helicopters To Be Delivered To Nigeria From Belarus

Despite loud session in the Senate on September 25, 2014, Thursday, a loan for the Presidency in the amount of USD1,000,000,000 (over N163bn) has been approved. At the same time, the information on priority spendings have been leaked.

According to TheNation, it all started with explanations by the Senate Joint Committee on Finance and Local and Foreign Debt. Speaking on its behalf, Senator Ahmed Makarfi explained that the huge “loan” is not a cash loan. It will be a supply of military hardware to be paid over seven years. At the same time, not every country (Supplier) would agree to such terms.

The second aspect of this loan is that the whole amount will not be released at one moment. The procurements will start only in accordance with needs assessment, by analysing what is really in demand with the defence and security structures of Nigeria.

The senators agreed that modern helicopters are among the most crucial units subject to purchase. The nature of anti- Boko Haram operations, environment, terrain and other conditions require powerful flying machines. Russian-made Mi-35 helicopters are considered as the suitable model.

The Republic of Belarus is believed to be the country which would accept the condition of installmental payment over a-seven year period. The contract for delivery of 12 Mi-35 shall soon be implemented.

An upcoming visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to this Eastern European country this October or November will give a boost to bilateral cooperation between the two sides in all the fields, including defence and security.

It has been also learnt that other hardwares, armaments and equipment would be procured from this and other European countries on same terms.

It would be noted that Nigeria’s interest in helicopters and intentions to procure more of modern machines were stimulated by a tragic crash of NAF Mi-35 this July in the troubled Borno State.

President Jonathan ordered immediate replacement for the crashed flying machine.Russian-made models are still the most preferable from all in the market. However, the crisis in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation by the Western world may endanger the timely delivery and proper execution of the contract. In this connection, selection of the neutral side is considered as a wise decision.
