 ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
murderous Moslems Monday in festivities in the country’s northeast, local media reported.
A security source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media that the bad boyz were potted during festivities that lasted more than 13 hours in the town of Dikwa in Borno state.
Several other members of the terrorist group were maimed yet managed to escape.
Vehicles belonging to the murderous Moslems and a significant amount of ammunition was also destroyed, said the security source.
Boko Haram launched a bloody insurgency in 2009 in northeastern Nigeria but later spread its atrocities to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon

, prompting a military response.
More than 30,000 people have been killed and nearly 3 million displaced in a decade of Boko Haram's terrorist activities in Nigeria, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Violence committed by Boko Haram has affected some 26 million people in the Lake Chad region and displaced 2.6 million others, according to the UN Refugee Agency.
Military authorities said yesterday that ground troops and the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole engaged holy warriors in 12 gun trucks in a fire-fight killing scores of fighters from Boko Haram and the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP).
A war update issued by the Nigerian Army last night said troops supported by air strikes from the Nigerian Air Force inflicted heavy casualty on the holy warriors, who attacked Dikwa, the headquarters of Dikwa Local Government of Borno State.
The fight was still raging as at the time of filling this report.
The update signed by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Mohammed Yerima, said "troops of Operation Lafiya Dole are currently carrying out Operation Tura Takaibango stationed at Dikwa and Gulumba Gana".
It said "the Lions of Islam in their numbers mounted on 12 gun trucks attacked the town on the Sunday, April 18, 2021, just as the locals prepared to break their Ramadan fast for the day.
"The troops having contained the initial wave of the attack had to occupy their alternative headquarters at Gulumba Gana to enable the air component engage any gun trucks and other arms in the vicinity of the attack".
It said the troops launched a counter attack in the early hours of Monday, April 19, 2021 and successfully reoccupied their main headquarters in Dikwa.
"The retreating Lions of Islam suffered heavy losses in both equipment and personnel, including some of their key leaders from the superior fire power of own troops both from the air and ground forces.
"The troops are currently patrolling Dikwa town and environs to assess the level of damage inflicted on the terrorists".
