Would be interesting to compare photos of ISWAP/BH person-borne IEDs / suicide vests with these latest 2 images from @ToudaKaka. I reckon the style has changed, arguably become more sophisticated and produced in a less roughshod manner. Reflective of increased ISWAP capability.

Walahi these terrorists are the worst idiots that I can ever fathom. Those that brought the ideologies go into hiding until they are fished out or finally killed, they run from going to heaven that's so sweet with 72 big breasted virgins. Al-Baghdadi, Shekau and all other leaders, Who dey fool who now?

*BATTLE OF LAKE CHAD: MNJTF CLEARS AREGE AND MALKONORY, NEUTRALIZES 20 ISWAP TERRORISTS*

In continuation of the ongoing offensive operations to oust Islamic State terrorists from the Lake Chad Area, troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) in conjunction with national forces, in an early morning raid today, neutralized over 20 terrorists operating around Arege, Malkonory and Tumbum Rego general area.

Similarly, several gun trucks, arms and ammunition, as well as a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device, which was meant to disrupt troops advance was also destroyed.

Unfortunately, 4 personnel of the MNJTF were wounded during the fire fight and have been evacuated for urgent medical attention.

The MNJTF remains committed to delivering the mandate of the force and therefore urges continuous support and solidarity of the good people of the Lake Chad Region.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

Abba Kyari will be forming Jack Bauer , taking pictures upandan. If not that his unit is heavily funded with special equipments, I don't see anything extra ordinary he does. If the police formations nation wide are funded and equipped like the team he's heading we would hv made Nigeria a safer place. There are extremely intelligent officers in the police but the tools to work with is not there.

RRS in Lagos is an example of what our police can do when properly funded.
Me just dey pity this Abba of a guy wallahi, God forbid he lose guards and fall into the wrong hands he will be easily identified and what would happen to him is better imagined.
I know that he might have "African Insurance" but crack offrs hardly expose themselves or family it is just too dangerous.

This dream of Biafra must be discarded, orientation must change from the misguided believe that they are the fictional long lost tribe of Israel. We must all agree on being Nigerians.

Commander, others missing after Boko Haram dislodged Nigerian troops in Borno

June 3, 2019Taiwo-Hassan Adebayo

An army commander and six soldiers are currently missing after two bases of the Nigerian military in Borno State came under Boko Haram attack on Saturday, with one soldier feared dead.

There was also a loss of “unquantifiable” combat equipment in the wake of the terrorists’ offensive, PREMIUM TIMES has been told.

The terrorists attacked troops of 192 Battalion deployed to Delwa Village, along Maiduguri-Damboa Road in Konduga Local Government Area, and their colleagues attached to 242 Battalion in Marte LGA towards Lake Chad, according to army sources.

The two attacks appeared coordinated as they were unleashed about the same, 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Saturday’s incidents followed an earlier attack, on May 22, on an army base in Gubio LGA of Borno State. The Gubio attack was on the camp housing the Nigerian Army 5 Brigade and the 159 Task Force Battalion, and it left at least one soldier killed and three others injured.

But despite the attack suffered on May 22, the army chief, Tukur Buratai, insisted that Boko Haram had been defeated in a statement last Thursday – just two days before the latest attacks.

The terrorists, who attacked the 192 Battalion reportedly launched from Alagarno forest in Damboa LGA in four Armoured Personnel Carriers and 12-gun trucks.

Although the troops were initially dislodged, reinforcement from Maiduguri, about 30km away, helped them retake the base after the terrorists had withdrawn.

However, despite retaking the base, one yet-to-be-named soldier was killed, while six others, also not named yet, became missing.

Also, the terrorists burnt a T55 armoured tank, made away with two gun trucks, a canter truck, one armoured personnel carrier, mortal gun and unquantifiable ammunition, sources said.

“Reorganisation of the camp is currently ongoing,” said a military source with knowledge of the development.

He added that a commanding officer and many soldiers were missing in action.

The other attack suffered on Saturday left the troops of 242 battalion in Marte “completely dislodged” with no reinforcement unlike the Delwa incident, our source said.

It was said to be a much easier operation for the Boko Haram as they “had enough time to cart away arms and ammunition.”

Following the dislodgement on Saturday, 15 soldiers later appeared in Dikwa, the brigade headquarters on Sunday.

The commanding officer and many soldiers were still missing on Sunday.

Army spokesperson, Sagir Musa, did not confirm the incidents when reached on Monday.

Army authorities are usually known to downplay losses on their part during confrontations.

The North-east has been rocked by an unending insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced many over the years.

Don't quite get your point and I am being respectful here.
A.K. is just the head of a high profile Anti-Kidnapping unit.
He and his entire unit are just doing there job.
His unit is in the eye of the storm.
Do you know that theses guys put their lives on the line every time they bust a big kidnapping unit.
There are some Nigerians who are very angry with them and actually try to kill them.
Whether it is A.K. or those who work undercover let us thank them.

Nobody is saying he's ain't doing a great job. I'm tryna say for an officer of his status it is dangerous to be a media person. There was a time he posted a pic of his son on one of his social media handle. Wether we like it or not he is a target for the men of the underworld, and it is only commonsensical to runaway from media attention as much as possible.

I think Nigeria is not yet ripe for state police. My reasons are not far fetched; they will just be used as the governor deems fit. In states where their fault lines are ethno-religious, how will the police be controlled(this one is the major problem)? How will they be paid seeing that only two or three states are financially viable in Nigeria ( you cannot hold back their salaries for two, three or more months)?
