DUGURI TRAP: The Day We Turned the Hunters into the Hunted 🔥🇳🇬
It happened in Duguri, Abadam Borno State one of those places in Nigeria where everywhere just looks quiet… but the ground itself knows war.
That morning no be normal patrol. Intel land correct one. Not that usual maybe-maybe info. This one clear. Clean. Actionable.
For the first time since I was deployed to that place, na dem go waka enter our own trap 🪤.
We set up sharp-sharp. No noise. No gra-gra. Everybody dey coded. You fit see am for everybody face this one na business. Even the usual cruise no dey. One of the guys just whisper, “Today go loud…” everyone smile 😊
We wait.
Time dey go slow. Sweat dey drop but nobody move. Then we sight them coming with full confidence, unprepared. Loose movement kind. As if na them get the land.
I just shake head “Una don enter one chance.”
We let them come in. Closer. Closer…
Then
CONTACT!
“Fire!!!”
Everything scatter.
But this time, no be us dey run helter-skelter. Na them. Confusion just jam them straight. You go see am the moment e click for their head say “we don fall inside trap.”
Too late.
We pin them down. Cut off their movement. Anywhere you turn na soldier. Fire discipline on point. Coordination clean. No panic.
One of our guys shout, “Press them! No give dem space!”
Na so we dominate.
They tried to escape no way. Tried to regroup impossible.
Before everything calm down… over 60 of them don drop.
Sixty !!!
No stories. No propaganda. Just result.
After the smoke clear, we sweep the area. That’s when we see abandoned weapons, their small “hospital,” and even burial ground. Fresh.
The beating we gave them earlier don already weaken them… this one just finish the work.
One of the boys look around and just say, “Omo… today sweet.”
And honestly? He no lie.
Because for once, na them carry fear. Na them run. Na them lose everything.
We stand there, catching our breath, dust everywhere, heart still racing… but deep down, one thing dey clear:
That day for Duguri, we no just fight.
We outsmart them. Outplay them.
And it's all thanks to our commander because we sure remind them say this land no be for terrorists.
Na for Nigeria. 🇳🇬🔥

The hike in fuel price has made many Nigerians learn about the “Strait of Hormuz”. Do you know it is only one of several oil shipping corridors that may affect the price of fuel in Nigeria? Don’t wait till there’s another war; check the thread to learn about some others…
3. The Strait of Good Hope: This is located at the tip of Africa, just off the coast of South Africa. It is mainly used when the Suez Canal is blocked.
Nigeria belong to the Bassas, the Itsekiris, the Efiks, the Ibibios, the Nupes, the Ijaws, the Tivs, the Igalas, the Ebiras, the Binis, the Urhobos, the Esans, the Annangs, the Kanuris, the Beroms, the Ogonis, the Igedes, the Angas, the Gbagyis, the Baribas, the Adaras, the Jarawas, the Barkes, the Eggons, the Ikwerres, the Jukuns, the Kwales, the Shuwas, the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Fulanis, the Hausas and a lot more.
Nigeria belong to Christians, Muslims, atheists and traditional worshippers. Nigeria is therefore a secular state.
Nigeria is not the property of any particular ethnic group or people of a particular religion.

Narnia is Christian. People think Aslan is just a symbol for Jesus. C.S. Lewis said, "No, he IS Jesus."
C.S. Lewis clarified that Aslan is not an allegory (like a symbol in a poem). He is a "supposal." Lewis asked: "Suppose there were a land like Narnia... what would Christ become if He entered that world?"
The answer is a Lion. Aslan is literally Christ in another form.
In Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Aslan tells the children: "I am in your world too. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you was brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
Narnia was written to train children to recognize the voice of God.
Please don’t let the #FreeSundayJackson hashtag die off.
Sunday Jackson is unjustly incarcerated for defending himself from a terrorist herder who attacked him.
I schooled in Kaduna Polytechnic, Tudun Wada.
KadPoly is the biggest Polytechnic in West Africa.
There are about 50 mosques in KadPoly but just one Chapel for Christians. Even inside hostels, there are mosques.
The Christian Community begged the school authority to give them just a plot of land to build a Chapel with their own money, the school blatantly said NO.
FCS, NFCS, and NIFES share one Church, and they are always having misunderstanding because one fellowship stays beyond thier allocated time.
The like of RCF, WCF, DCF, and co, use classrooms for services, and the school authorities always caution them to stop it.
I also schooled in BUK (Bayero University, Kano).
BUK and ABU Zaria, are the two biggest schools in the North, if not in Nigeria.
There are more than 100 mosques in BUK but no single chapel as at when I was in the school.
Christian Students pray outside—even in the rain. Classes are prohibited.
I once asked "Why?" and I was told that the then Emir of Kano said that not even the president (GoodLuck Jonathan) can lay a block in BUK in the name of building a chapel.
In many departmental fellowships, students always turned down the position of fellowship presidents, secretary and other positions that put them in limelight because some lecturers who are extremists in their religion could fail them.
Many departmental presidents stayed two to three extra years in school, not because they legitimately got carryover in their courses but because they are presidents.
There's one St. Augustine Catholic Church behind Ajegunle Hostel in Tudun Wada. It is the only "stubborn" Church in the heart of Tudun Wada and it is always burnt at every given opportunity by extremists. Many of their priests and members have paid the ultimate prize because they refused to relocate the Church.
Reverend Father Borogo Vitues, the then chaplain in KadPoly was recently kidnapped and k!lled by Fulani herdsmen.
The Church in the North is being persecuted, suppressed and suffocated.
It is strategically planned by elites and meticulously carried out.
We don't enter churches here in the North without being searched thoroughly because of su!c!de bombers.
Oh, Southern Churches, I'm happy for your freedom and liberty to serve God without fear of "we may not go out of this church alive."
Christmas is approaching, at least one or two Churches in the North will be bombed by terror!sts.
There's Christian Genocide in Nigeria. It is not CLAMOURING as many people assumed.
But Esther, Listen to this, because you are in the palace does not mean you are safe. If you don't fight for your brethren being slaughtered outside now, soon, it will get to the PALACE, and it'll be your turn.
Just as @SpiricocoNg said, you are not safe or special. You are on the menu. It's only not your turn yet.
