This is sad! But I told you guys just yesterday that "easily falsifiable lies are counterproductive in the long run." How can you launch a "surprise" attack that "dislodged" terrorists but couldn't seize their huge cache of war equipment, couldn't arrest their ringleaders, couldn't liberate any of the hundreds of people held in captivity, and only recovered the terrorist leader's "Qur'an" and "flag"? What sort of "dislodgment" is that? So, in the midst of the "surprise" attack, the terrorists somehow managed to run with their heavy equipment and captives without being caught? And people believed this?

Apparently, an abandoned Boko Haram camp, perhaps with some foot soldiers still left there, was captured, and the military establishment, smarting from the bad publicity of the two viral videos showing our gallant soldiers in a terrible shape, decided to use the capture for propaganda. As I said before, in war, propaganda is OK, but if you perpetually use barefaced, falsifiable lies for propaganda, you undermine your credibility and score own goals. This is what we are seeing, and it's sad.

Meanwhile, Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram leader, in a new video insists they were "not crushed" and "not flushed out from anywhere".
