the military is not making them irrelevant.

30 years of Military Dictatorship did. The coupists (including Buhari) never trusted the Police, they let this service bleed out till the point were it became dysfunctional.

Re: NORICO UNDER FIRE FOR SUPPLYING INFERIOR ARMOURED VEHICLES TO NIGERIA

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a story with the referenced headline which was authored by one Ekene Lionel and published in AfricanMilitary blog on the 19th of March, 2021.

Let it be known that the entirety of the said story is the figment of imagination of the author as the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, did not at any time or in any event make any comment nor had any interview on the subject either with the author or anybody for that matter.

The story is therefore false, misleading and a deliberate fabrication ostensibly published to serve a yet to be determined motive. Whatever the motive is, we consider this publication as not only unprofessional but very unfair to the Chief of Army Staff.

We therefore demand from the publishers of African military blog, immediate retraction of the concocted story as it runs against the grain of professional journalism to willfully and wrongfully attribute a story to an unsuspecting party.

Even as the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru recognizes and appreciates the indispensability of partnership with the media in the quest for a secured, peaceful and progressive Nigeria, it is advisable that professionalism must guide the conduct of media practitioners.

Thank you.

Just a reminder of the inhumanity of the Global Elites! Its now clocking 10 years of death and destruction-a true genocide.

Lest we forget.

Some good news for the Nigerian Air Force.



The Italian defence contractor Leonardo is poised to deliver as many as 24 Aermacchi M-346 training aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force. These planes are part of a drive to modernise the NAF, headed by Isiaka Oladayo Amao

This is a headscratcher why would a magazine that depends on SUBSCRIBERS peddle fake news like some cheap NGO knowing fully well that it will destroy their credibility . Why would the NAF not come out and refute this in its entirety , why would LEONARDO not simply say LOOKIT this is fake news we are not selling ONE single plane to the NAF ? This cant be that complicated right ? am I missing something here ?

It's for Africa Intelligence to prove their story, it's not for the Nigerian Air Force/Leonardo to confirm or deny the report.

As it seems, this is fake news. I don't see how the Nigerian Air Force would be given 1.2 billion dollars, after collecting nearly 500 million dollars for aircrafts.

Besides they would need Senate approval(which hasn't happened) for such a purchase.
