In this one article, we learn: 1. In a text message responding to THISDAY enquiries, a Borno State Government official said: “I do not think there is any truth to the story on the abduction of the women and children. We are making enquiries from all the relevant authorities and will revert (back) to you tomorrow (yesterday) morning.” 2. “AFRICOM is not leading Nigerian soldiers to do anything. We are not putting any equipment on the ground. We are only to support them. That is the direction of President Obama and the request of President Jonathan,” he said. 3. It also emerged yesterday that Special Forces troops from the California Army National Guard are currently in Nigeria training a newly formed infantry battalion designed specifically to counter the threat from Boko Haram. ~So with all the money voted for security, we dont still have a coherent communication strategy and are now so desperate that we rely on volunteers (the National Guard) to train our combat troops. Ok, continue!
