Air Force Loses Personnel To Bandits In Kaduna by Sunofgod(m): 1:08pm On Feb 14, 2021
The Nigerian Air Force has lost some of its personnel to armed bandits in Kaduna State.

This was confirmed in a statement issued on Saturday by the spokesman of the Air Force, Ibikunle Daramola.

He said over 100 armed bandits laid an ambush which led to the unfortunate killing, adding that some military personnel sustained various degrees of injuries.

“Troops of the 271 Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Detachment today, 13 February 2021, foiled an ambush set up by a group of over 100 armed bandits at Ungwan Laya near Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State,” the statement partly read.


“The gallant troops were able to fight their way through the ambush killing dozens of bandits in the process.

“Unfortunately, some NAF personnel paid the supreme price during the operation, while a few others sustained varying degrees of injuries. The injured personnel are currently receiving treatment at the NAF Hospital in Kaduna.”

Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, on behalf all officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff of the NAF, has commiserated with the families of the fallen heroes, praying for the repose of their souls.

Amao who visited the injured personnel in the hospital on Saturday evening asked all NAF personnel to remain resolute and continue to collaborate with other security agencies, to rid the northwest of all criminal elements.

Nonsense and idiot quota system commanders, even when Sheikh Gumi have given you clue on the bandits and their ammoury you are still leading your men into an ambush to be slaughtered like chicken creating widows and orphans unnecessarily.
Disband the Nepotic military and start fresh recruitment of patriotic citizens than wasting our tax money on incompetent personell.
For those who attended NDA interviews at some point and saw the rot in the recruitment process of commissioned officers, you will understand that there is no hope in the current commanders, most of whom are either children of ex Generals or top politicians with no patriotic zeal or intellectual acumen required to rout terrorists by engaging in assymetrical warfare.
You can't be enlisted into NDA without a letter or recommendation from a very big man, your patriotism or brilliance is not enough, ask any military officer around you.

What am I even saying when the current Chief of Army Staff Attahiru Ibrahim lost 76 men in one operation in Marte, Borno state in 2017 and was removed for incompetence only to be appointed Army Chief by Buhari and his nepotism, his biggest achievements was constantly ordering the shooting to death of IPOB protesters as GOC 82 Division Enugu, with the attendant counter effect of pushing IPOB to arm themselves as ESN, after all even Buratai publicly said he was appointed because of the friendship Buhari has with his father.

The compromised media should continue calling these terrorists 'bandits' until it will get to their publishing houses

Some is not an exact number, I imagine a lot of family will soon hear news of being bereaved. It’s the only reason they can’t state exact amount

This is another insurgency group garnering momentum while the northern politicians are still pampering and playing politics with them. Exactly how boko haram started.
Let's call a spade a spade here. The name bandit is just a decoy.
They can't say they don't know who they want to dialog with. These are their own northern brothers and they know them well. They are possibly looking for an avenue to take the oil money from the south and use it to grant another amnesty to their foot Soldiers thereby compensating them for their loss of properties in the south due to ESN's presence.
Even lai Muhammed said the group can't be proscribed despite killing many already. But a peaceful organisations like IPOB who hasn't even killed a housefly is a terrorist group.
The double policy here is too clear. The Nigerian force always looses it's effectiveness in the North and gets slaughtered while in the south they magically becomes functional against innocent civilians.

If it is IPOB or peaceful protests at lekki, you will already see 100s of arrests in 1 hour.

I think is time we demand our freedom from these TYRANTS.
