Military Geo strategist, Dr. Frank Ebogo talking on the Kidnapping of the Sub Divisional officer for Batibo.

The secessionists according to Dr. Frank Ebogo have moved from burning down state effigies, attacking structures like buildings and now have moved to s new gear, kidnapping of Administrative officers. This is an indication that they have grown in strength and stamina and their strategies aren't possible to be predicted any longer.

These declarations were made over the airwaves of Equinox Television channel. To have killed three Gendarmes officers and holding the Sub Divisional Officer of Batibo is a dangerous signal of more threatening attacks. Blames have now been apportioned on the Brigades Commander of Gendarmerie for Batibo. 

This blame is just shifting of blames or a blame game. The assailants were supposed to have been neutralized by his elements if he was skilled and professional. The Strategist went further to say that even if it would have been somebody to be kidnapped, it won't have been Sub Divisional Officer, a symbol of state authority.

The brigade Commander would have requested for reinforcement since his area falls within a war zone. Taking into consideration that Batibo has a Gendarmerie Brigade and A Police Post, these two forces for the maintenance of Public order, would have been put to use. Then the most unanswered question that remains is " why didn't these forces pursue these assailants"?
