THE DESERT FOX AND HIS MEN WHO RIDE BIKES.

THE DESERT FOX AND HIS MEN WHO RIDE BIKES.
Amidst the hot inhospitable terrain of the North East, over the sand dunes and break neck winds comes "the men who ride bikes"
Years ago the sounds of the rumblings of the a fleet of motorcycles was greeted with fear and trepidation as men, women and children fled their homes in disarray for this was the harbinger of doom called Boko Haram who invaded villages like the Outlaws of the Wild West riding this time not on horses but on Motor bikes.
The speed, versatility and ubiquitous nature of these marauders on bikes for years continued to run rings around the nation's security dragnet for they were unable to match the off road capabilities of the Boko Haram Terrorists.
Massacres in the hinterland by these barbarians became so common placed that Nigerians became immune to such tales of rape and pillage that the usual disgust and derision faded from the national conscience.
And as our military failed in its basic responsibilies, their duties were contracted out to South African Mercenaries and Chadian Desert Commandos.
Using brute force in the hammer and anvil formation the defense contractors used seek and destroy tactics to curtail the terrorists so as to give breathing space for the nation's last general election while the nation's military was left threadbare and demoralised relegated to the role of common maiguards armed with bow and arrows.
In the midst of such a crisis the Nation's Generals were more interested in building soak aways and strong rooms to hide their ill gotten wealth, they stole at the detriment of the foot soldiers who became as worthless as canonfodder left to die an inglorious death on the battlefields of the North East.
But then came the game changer. The Desert Fox.
Flying in from Njamena where he led the gallant and most advanced fighting force in the Subregion, the battle hardened Multinational Joint Task Force came the Desert Fox, General Tukur Burutai.
Backed by his years of fighting marauders across the borders of the southern reaches of the Sahara desert he gained his skills and experience by mimicing the cunning and guile of the Desert Fox, the predator at the top of the food chain of the desert who thrives in the most inhospitable clime on earth were the ultimate predator is the harsh desert winds and blazing heat of the Seas of the Sahara.
Bouyed by the arrival of his heavily armed fighting force and added weaponry supplied by the Americans since the previous administration looted all the money meant to buy arms to fight Boko Haram, the General began his campaign against the Boko Haram Terrorist Network.
Victory after victory followed as towns were liberated from the vice grip of the Terrorists who claimed a caliphate from their captured territories. Roads were reopened. The usual twin bombings of Mosques on Friday coupled with Sunday bombings of Churches has dwindled into a distant memory of how bad the nation was under a corrupt greedy inhumane regime.
Even the versatile dreaded weapon of the terrorists that struck fear in the hearts of men, the Boko Haram Female Suicide Bomber, has become a thing of the past as the nation's security dragnet has placed a denial of access charge around the terrorists denying them of recruits and locations to train their female suicide bombing brigade. Bomb makers have been killed or captured while the terrorist leadership has been decapitated despite their running to ISIS for logistical and financial support.
Left hungry and battlescared the terrorists descended to their usual tactic to raiding villages for food,supplies and recruits so as to retain relevance.
Orgys of violence in the North East became common placed as Boko Haram put people to the sword in hit and run attacks.
But then came the Desert Fox and his men who ride Bikes.
Like the gallant lawmen who sanitized the Wild West of the Famous Outlaws like Billy the Kid and Bloody Bill Cunningham, these men who ride bikes are the men of the nation's first ever Motorcycle Battalion.
Charged to beat the terrorists at their own game, this rapid response squad has been able to ride off in the sunset like the lawmen of old, Wyatt Earp and Doc Rogers.
They have intercepted and destroyed the Boko Haram marauders on bikes with extreme prejudice beating the terrorists at their own game.
Using superior fire power and stealth this battalion has decimated the last vestigeal remains of the terrorist network that was once seen to be larger than life by the past administration. They were even give a ghostly status as the terrorists were called faceless beings and spirits by Leaders of the past administration of woe.
The Desert Fox has restored the pride of the military and his men who ride bikes have extinguished the last dying kicks of the Boko Haram terrorists.
A job once claimed to be impossible has been made possible by a dedicated General and his men shaming the Generals who preferred to build shopping malls and palatial retirement homes while their men died a coward's death in the battlefields of the North East.
Shame to the looters and their ilk who were happy to see the Nation dismembered just to fill their insatiable greed for wealth. How these men were able to sleep at night is a wonder lest they murdered their conscience or drowned their sorrows in Sapele Water.
The blood of innocent Nigerians killed due to the inactions of a criminally corrupt greedy regime cries out for Justice. The courts can either dispense it quickly and swiftly or desend into their usual perpetual adjournment of justice so as to ensure these criminals die a natural death while out on bail than to die prematurely deprived of the comforts of their luxury homes, in the nation's dilapidated inhospitable gulags like Kirikiri, Agodi and Kuje Prisons.
Thank God for Burutai and his men. He deserves the Nation's highest military honour for getting rid of the shame of a nation called Boko Haram.
But Nigerians should not rest on their oars as the massacres at Hotels in Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Mali these past months have shown. The terrorists are still in the shadows plotting and planning their next attack. But Nigerians need not fear. The Desert Fox and his men who ride Bikes are around the corner, ready to ride to our rescue.
