Warning! Warning!! Warning!!! Nigerian army plans heavy raids in Plateau State

The Nigerian army said it plans to raid suspected militant hideouts in several central villages after attacks last weekend claimed by the Islamist Boko Haram sect killed over 100 people.

"We will conduct operation sweep and search this week in some villages in Plateau state we suspect are hideouts of miscreants and assailants," army spokesman Captain Salihu Mustapha told AFP, adding that residents had been warned to leave to avoid getting caught up in any violence.alt

Boko Haram claimed attacks in central Plateau state last weekend that killed more than 100 people, but police insisted that Muslim herdsmen from the Fulani tribe were responsible.

At least 22 people, including two senior politicians, were killed last Sunday in an attack on a funeral for victims of violence on Saturday, when gunmen stormed mainly Christian villages and killed more than 80 people.

Troops from the military's Special Task Force (STF) have already been deployed to several villages in Plateau state, Mustapha said.

On its own account, Saharah Reporters says the Fulanis occupying the target areas has agreed to relocate immediately to make way for the military to carry out the operation

This would be a needed action but sounds more like a joke.

Do thieves now inform their proposed victims about the date, time and how they will rob them? 
Does the police now give one month notice to the residents of the houses they intend to search?
Is it that the Nigerian leaders and the military commanders are fools or are Nigerians being fooled?   

If they want to fish out Boko haram, why give them an advance warning?
Why tell them when and how they plan to do it
