Military discovers video recordings, Treasure Trove of Boko Haram's Activities,

Firstclass newsline learnt that The raid in Sambisa forest is yielding
tremendous treasure trove of intelligence, with the discovery of
sensitive materials including arms, ammunitions, Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) gadgets and video recordings of
beheadings they left behind.
In a related development, a gunman yesterday morning attacked the
College of Administrative and Business Studies (CABS) Potiskum in Yobe
State, injuring 14 people, before killing himself.
According to the report by PRNigeria on Friday, many of the video
materials captured by the troops from Sambisa forest are currently
being analysed by military experts.
Some of the videos, the report said, included recording of scenes of
trials, beheadings, executions, stoning, floggings and those taken
during preparations for suicide attacks.
A military source stated that capturing such recordings was another
major feat in the battle against the terrorists as it was a tool used
to really terrify mostly civilian population and cow them into
submission.
The source added that "some of the video were meant for release
through their normal channels to the public before they were dislodged
from their camps. They also show the barbaric life in their so-called
caliphate.
"The media and the public are advised to be careful in handling or
sharing sensitive and offensive videos depicting atrocities that some
viewers may find disturbing," the source said.
Since they invaded Sambisa Forest a few weeks ago, Nigerian troops
have liberated about 1,000 women and children from the various
terrorists camps already dismantled.
There have been tales of woes and great distress from many of those
rescued from the terrorists about their reign of terror and lately of
despondency within the ranks of the insurgents.
When contacted on the discovery of video recordings, the Director
Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade said: "A number of
vital materials, apart from arms and ammunition, have been recovered
which are being subjected to intelligent analyses. We don't want to
say much about that now."
