ISWAP claimed responsibility that they have k!lled the military commander of the 25 Brigade in Damboa, Borno State, Brigadier General Samaila M Ubah.
We are finished in this country.
Terrorists did not just cross a boundary. They marched straight into the heart of our national security architecture and spat in its face.
And the most frightening part is the silence that followed.
A serving General of the Nigerian Army was ambushed with his men. A whole General. Not a recruit. Not a private. A General.
The kind of man entire formations salute. The kind of man whose presence alone carries the weight of decades of war experience. The kind of man terrorists should never even dream of touching.
Yet they attacked him. They captured him. They k!lled him.
And they did it with confidence, with coordination, with weapons so sophisticated that you have to ask yourself who is arming these demons and why they are operating with such precision.
These are not ragtag criminals anymore. These are well equipped insurgents who now believe they can take on the Nigerian state and win.
And what do we get in response?
Silence — Denials.
Cold statements as if a General falling in the hands of terrorists is some minor roadside accident.
Where is the rage? Where is the aerial bombardment? Where is the decisive, unforgiving response that should shake the entire forest they crawled out from?
Instead, we have a government that will eventually parade these same terrorists as repentant. They will call them rehabilitated. They will reintegrate them into society.
Some will even end up wearing the same uniform as the men they butchered. The sheer insult of it should make every Nigerian sick.
Our gallant soldiers are paying the supreme price for a system that refuses to protect them. Men who swore to defend this country with their lives are being slaughtered because leadership refuses to match terrorists fire for fire.
Troops are dying deaths they should never die. Ambushed by terrorists who are growing bolder, smarter, and deadlier every passing day.
And nobody is shouting. Nobody is shaking the table. Nobody is calling this what it is: a catastrophic national security failure.
A General was killed. A General. If terrorists can capture and kill a General, then every civilian is a sitting target. Every highway is a death trap. Every village is vulnerable.
Every soldier in the field is fighting with the knowledge that if the worst happens, the state will issue a press release and move on.
This is beyond unacceptable. This is outrageous. This is infuriating.
Nigeria cannot continue like this.
The government must understand the gravity of this moment. The military must respond with unrestrained force. Because if terrorists are allowed to celebrate this victory, they will see themselves not as fugitives but as an army.
And once terrorists begin to believe they are an army, the nation is already in deep trouble.
This is the loudest WARNING Nigeria will get.
Enough is enough.
