The CNS also visited Navantia shipyard, it would be nice if we can also order Corvettes from them.

However I think Turkish Miglem Corvettes might be more suitable for us.

GEN LAGBAJA IN MANGU, ORDERS TROOPS TO ADOPT MORE AGGRESSIVE POSTURE IN STAMPING OUT THOSE DISRUPTING PEACE ON THE PLATEAU

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja has ordered troops of the 3 Division Nigerian Army and the Joint Task Force Operation Safe Haven to adopt more aggressive posture and decisively stamp out terrorists causing mayhem in Plateau and contiguous states. Gen Lagbaja handed down the stern order today Saturday 27 January 2024, while addressing troops during an operational tour to Plateau, following a recent disruption of peace in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. According to the Army Chief, "Go hard on those disturbing the peace of the Plateau and neutralize any terrorist annihilating people and burning or destroying property and other economic valuables".

The COAS, who had earlier been briefed on the security situation by the General Officer Commanding 3 Division and Commander Operation Safe Haven, Major General Abdusalam Abubakar, acknowledged that the security dynamics on the Plateau are complex due to its political background, interwoven with cultural and economic sentiments. These he added, account for the prolonged duration of the conflicts and the escalation in its lethality. Gen Lagbaja inspected the arms and ammunition recovered by the troops and commended them for not allowing the crisis to escalate to other parts of the state. He assured that he is confident that the troops will be more resilient and leave no stone unturned in ensuring that peace and tranquility is restored on the Plateau and other troubled parts of the country. Gen Lagbaja therefore, charged the troops to live up to the expectations of all peace loving and law abiding residents of the Plateau, harping that trust is earned and the troops must do all within their means to maintain the trust of the people they are tasked to protect. "Our Operations and activities must be in compliance with the rules of engagement and devoid of sentiments", he emphasized.

Gen Lagbaja noted, that he is aware of the difficulty and challenges confronted by the troops, as they legitimately carry out their duties, particularly, some of the weighty allegations being touted against them. He clarified that though one cannot completely rule out the possibility of one or two cases of misconduct during operations, he guaranteed that the Nigerian Army and indeed the Armed Forces of Nigeria have an internal regulatory mechanism that does not permit considerations for ethnic and religious affiliations when deploying troops. He urged the troops to remain disciplined, dutiful, responsive and responsible, adding however, that the full weight of the law will be brought down on any personnel found compromising.

Gen Lagbaja also paid a courtesy call on the Plateau State Governor Barr Caleb Mutfwang, where he expressed appreciation to the Government and good people of Plateau State for their effort in ensuring that peace reigns on the Plateau. He intimated that a marching order has been handed down to troops to sternly enforce law and order and to be decisive in tackling the security situation on the Plateau. He concluded that peace must reign on the Plateau and other troubled parts of the country.

Responding, the Plateau State Governor, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang disclosed that he had never doubted the capability of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies in delivering on their constitutional mandate. He clarified that the civil populace has a role to play in enhancing security on the Plateau. "As a government, we know that we have a responsibility to motivate them.The recent breach was totally avoidable and people must work harmoniously to regain peace and harmony," Governor Mutfwang asserted.

Floky215:



I just hope the it doesn't go beyond repair before the military act to save the country..!!

Floky215:


Legalise arm and the nonesense would stop by force...!!
Any kidnapper would have a rethink before they attack any estate they know is fully armed like themselves...!!

Paraman:
Legalizing arms will almost lead to anarchy in Nigeria. Nigeria is not ready for it.

NabiAsli:
No it will definitely do the opposite, anybody will think twice before attacking you if he knows that you are armed

Paraman:
You have an AK47, and you know how to use does not mean you can't be kidnap.

NabiAsli:


It will reduce it to a low

Odunayaw:
It will reduce kidnapping to a low and increase deaths to a high. Those who should be kidnapped would be dead.

NabiAsli:

How please explain further

Odunayaw:
Owning a gun doesn't translate to expertise in wielding it. Talk less to use for self defence.

Furthermore we have seen how ruthless this kidnappers can be. They don't care for how much blood is spilled.

Lastly, in a country where impunity is a culture we would quickly self implode.

NabiAsli:

I agree with your last sentence 100%, but just let take an example of what is happening in Platuea state, if those terrorist know that the people are armed and there is a chance they will be resisted, i think they will think twice before attacking any village
