So heartbreaking. This is a disaster that calls for national mourning. The intelligence was wrong and should be properly investigated. Now the terrorist have enough time to disappear. How much I hate WAR. A lot of innocent victims.

If I were him,since he has owned up. He should jejely resign. Then the pilot should be court martialed.
After all they already gat innocent bloods on their hands.

What happened was miscalculation of assassination so don't expect anybody to be quetioned, sacked, resigned or court martialed. I wish you know what is happening in Nigeria today u won't be reading every move as they were.

He said he got a report and dispatched air component to do the needful. Between the pilot and his ground commander and not this Oga patapata there is some explaining to do

the civilian airstrikes is recommendable , infact the NAF officer that press the red button deserve a double promotion to air marshal , we must annihilate any form of terrorism In north, there won't be any moment in north East, we must uproot all form of life in that area, strike any form of life in that desert, terrorist or civilian wipe them so they can start afresh

Mr Irabor, incompetency is written all over you. Im Gutted you are finding excuses in place of your men mistakes. We need intelligent people to take over sensitive positions in this country. SMH

When I mentioned that the theater commander of lafya dole operation should be careful, many nairalanders replied whether it was a threat . .....





I will still reiterate myself again the second time.... He should be careful

Assuming Lucky Irabor happened tonne a Northerner and the incidence happen in South, this would have been another Religion wahala. But no one will say that now since its Southerner against Northerner.
RIP to the dead.
What a costly mistake

it was obvious that there was no substantial recon. before the strike was conducted, they probably flew over the place once and concluded they were B.H camps, God knows how many of such was covered up. It's your call, you should honourably resign.

They were compromised, that's the only explanation. Maybe their lives or family members' were threatened.

Don't mind them bro!
Apparently they don't know that coordinates of the targets are supplied to the pilot, who then engages the guided weapons based on the target coordinates.
Most comments here are so unreasonable that it shrinks my brain grin

The pilot simply obeyed an order from his superior officer. What the military should do is to carry out a thorough investigation into how they got the location of the target. Whoever provided the intelligence of the exact location that was bombed really needs to answer lots of questions.

You are a genius, So many people commenting here are numbskull, They need to get information about the person who provide that information..

Re: Lucky Irabor: "I Directed Air Strike That Misfires And Killed Many In Borno" by Cannonleo(m): 10:36am On Jan 18, 2017
before we over flog this issue with sentiments lets look at a few C and C rules guiding operations from my own opinion.

the last blue and Blue incident we had was back in gwoza in 2013 , then the casualties were retreating troops .
this action led to the purchase and subsequent use of our surveillance platforms namely the ATRs nd the beechcraft ISR aircrafts. that has successfully directed our otherwise blind strike assets with next to non guided munitions to perform.

now 1 MJG irabor according to his statement directed the air component to intercept meaning that a very large amount of hostiles were heading their way and advancing troops were at a strategic disadvantage. key point he gave the order to scramble

2. it is obvious that non of the ISR aircrafts was in bound in this operation...a very big mistake else proper ID of targets would have taken place while co-ordinates related to strike assets.... a big fup on the part of the airforce

3 any communication to the pilot of the platform would be done solely by the air traffic control or directly form the situation room at 7 div and still will need to pass via air control.

4 whoever sent the co-ordinates was on the ground and control and the pilot reacted to these. irabor's mistake here is simply directing the assault to be initiated .

5 the pilots culpability is low if he followed relayed co-ordinates given to him else he is in soup, the air controller and the signals man are the main culprits.
irabor is the big fish to take the fall

A little bit disturbing? The man is mad. Aid workers vehicles are always identified by a large cross painted on the vehicle roofs which even a blind man can see. Incompetent Nigeria armed forces, they were so tired from making Buhari propaganda videos that they can't tell friends from foes. Anyway the Boko Haram foes are their friends. Why are Buhari and Osinbajo tweeting condolence instead of visiting? Or were they targeting BBOG? Change must go

The useless pilot should have blown himself up rather than blowing up civilians after all, there duty is to die for our sake. But he chose to live over the hundreds of people affected by his incompetence.

Why I'm i even surprised? Like Buhari like his illiterate and blood thirsty military.

This simply means that the Nigerian military have actually been dropping bomb anyhow they like. They may just hear that there are terrorists in Ikeja and the next thing will be to drop bomb on Tïffubu's head..
