It has been noticed by the MuslimsAgainstTerror association, that the same dreadful Boko Haram terrorist cult, based in the Kanuri North Eastern section of Nigeria has re-branded andย  repackaged itself as JAMBS (JAMAโ€™ATU ANSARUL MUSLIMINA FIย  BILADIS-SUDAN). A Northern online publication, DesertHerald has beenย  single-handly promoting this re-branding of the terrorist sectย  responsible for hundreds of deaths in Nigeria.

Our analysts believe that the obvious decline in popularity of Bokoย  Haram, and their association with various barbaric assaults and deathsย  of innocent Nigerians, Muslim, Christian and the like in Nigeria,ย  attracting harsh rebuke from Muslims and Christians, including scholars, Muslim groups like ourselves, theย MuslimsAgainstTerror and the northern citizenry, provoked a re-thinking by the group andย  decision to re-brand with the hope of soliciting some public support and hindering the cooperation of Nigeriaโ€™s God fearing and peace lovingย  masses.

www.Newsrescue.com a Nigerian investigative journal that first brokeย  the cannibalism of Muslim brothers in Jos by Berom people, earlierย  reported an unusual article published by the DesertHerald in which theย  online publication was surprisingly justifying a Boko Haram aka JAMBSย  attack of the SARS security unit in Abuja. We have included thatย  publication at the end of this release.

Boko Haram, we know you. You can call yourselves whatever you wish.ย  You are the same dirty Munafiqis, who the noble prophet of Islam warnedย  us will rise from within Muslim ranks and will cause harj and harj atย  the later days. Allahโ€™s wrath is upon you. As JAMBS or anything else.ย  Wallahi your days are numbers and also the days of all those who support the insult that you bring to our noble Deen.

Nigeria and global media must stop peddling the harmful agenda ofย  these desperate cultists. The media must be astute and desist fromย  aiding them in their wicked and insane plans and manipulations. Notย  everything must be published, this is common sense.

Desertherald has remained the only news platform that Boko Haram akaย  JAMBS uses to communicate its press releases. The re-branded groupโ€™sย  first public press release was also exclusively reported byย  DesertHerald. It is puzzling how Boko Haram and DesertHerald haveย  developed this love and symbiotic co-promotional relationship.

Boko Haram aka JAMBS 2 days ago, attacked Nigerian troops en-routeย  Mali as part of an African peace -keeping force. They were successful in killing two soldiers and injuring 5 more. They have since moved toย  Kaduna, where the Nigerian troops also went en-route Mali.

Our brothers believe that the re-branding of this terrorist cultย  comes amidst a successful security and public campaign against theirย  nefarious operation,. Which has led to the capture of many of their tactical commanders and their sponsors, senators and other top level shameless people. The public has been fed-up with Boko Haram/JAMBSย  who have made life in North Nigeria a living hell.

Nigeria: SARS Is Worse Than Boko Haram โ€“ DesertHerald

Dec 6th, 2012

NewsRescue- A Nigerian news website and magazine hasย  described the SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) security division asย  worse than Boko Haram.

In an article posted by the online edition, DesertHerald said:

SARS operatives have today become more dangerous to the people thanย  even Boko Haram and it forms part of the reason why most people keep aย  distance from the police. And it is one of those reasons that Boko Haram insurgency has defied solutions because of SARS brutality andย  extortion. Those released from SARS detention turn back to plan revengeย  after release while majority prepare to even join Boko Haram for aย  revenge of what they experienced from those that are paid to protectย  them.

It would be recalled that the SARS office in Abuja was attacked byย  unknown gunmen who sprung some prisoners out of its cells on the evening of Monday, 26th November 2012.

This attack by unknown gunmen was later reported by the same DesertHerald, who claimed they had received an exclusive message immediately after the attack, stating that the attack had been carried out by a new terrorist organization, JAMBS (Jamaโ€™atu Ansasrul Muslimina fi Biladissudan), who had earlier in the year sent an exclusive letter to DesertHerald, according to theย  editorial, announcing the groups inglorious inauguration.

In the DesertHerald exclusive, the alleged new group claimed to be aย  Robin-Hood of sorts, justifying its attack of the SARS headquarters asย  being based on โ€œemancipation of the suffering.โ€

DesertHerald is notorious for breaking stories from Northernย  extremists, many at times before any other media or organization evenย  has an idea of these stories. For some funny reason, it appears โ€œJAMBSโ€ย  chooses DesertHerald as their sole means of communication to the outside world.

DesertHerald recently entertained a visit from the Canadianย  delegation in Nigeria, who thumped the editorial for its โ€˜investigativeย  journalism.โ€™ See: DesertHerald: Canadian High Commissionerโ€™s historic visit to DESERT HERALD: Canada to support Nigeria in curbing terrorism โ€“ Ambassador Cooter

In what could read as a justification of the acts of this so-calledย  new group, while describing the reasons why SARS is โ€œworse than Bokoย  Haram,โ€ DeserHerald in what it called โ€œthe hidden facts behind the attack,โ€ further said:

SARS Headquarters attack: The Hidden facts!

The squad has branches in the 36 states of the federation includingย  Abuja in most cases funded by the various state governments. Over theย  years, the organization systematically became a replica of its formerย  self and turned to an extortion outfit that has outlived its usefulnessย  to the people.

Several reports reveal that apart from human rights abuses, there are cases of extortion of suspects and their relations while bail ofย  suspects either in detention or under arrest is obtained at fixed amount depending on the nature of crime committed. For instance, it wasย  revealed that armed robbery suspects are bailed at over N1million whileย  bail โ€˜feeโ€™ for other minor crimes range from N500,000 and aboveย  depending on the bargaining capacity of suspectโ€™s relations.

Although, the office of the Inspector-General is confirmed to haveย  been disbursing monthly feeding allowances of suspects in policeย  detention nationwide, in most police stations across the country andย  Abuja SARS headquarters, such allowances are diverted and the burden ofย  feeding suspects rests on the shoulders of their relations includingย  medication for the period they are detained.

While relations are forced to accept the corrupt practice withoutย  complaining as making any complain may attract a negative response, they are also forced to grease the palms of guards at the various cellsย  before the food and medication they brought could reach their relationsย  languishing in cells.

Not only that, black marketers within Abuja and other places areย  subjects of extortion and brutality. In most cases, SARS operativesย  storm their operational locations to cart away drums and jerry cans ofย  fuel to compel owners to report for collection and be subjected toย  various degrees of extortion and intimidations including threats toย  their lives. Before any black marketer is allowed entry into SARSย  premises in Abuja to press for his case, he is forced to pay an entryย  fee at both gates. Starving suspects without relations in Abuja languishing in SARS cellsย  is no more news as dead bodies are thrown out daily because of hunger,ย  torture and other brutal acts from those who are expected to take careย  of the unfortunate โ€˜innocentโ€™ citizens.
