DubaiLandLord: I disagree. Yes, I know we all hear of American mass shootings which is a long story but its been said,"guns don't kill people;people kill people." If you personally ever visit ranchers in the south of America,especially Texas or Georgia this kind of collection isn't the largest. A decade and a half ago a cuz spent a weekend at his classmates family's E Tx ranch. After dinner the dad revealed his personal steel-smth like this. Yet such areas are very safe with low crime.

Stormtrooper11: This is what we've always been saying about NA being too defensive. Knowing that these guys will most likely come back and have the advantage, NA will simply wait for them to come and then attempt to "repel". Those criminals are most likely camping very close to the town where they can be caught unaware. 2 Likes |

Litmus:He didn't have to mention names on air, he already said the security agencies have a detailed dossier on them, he clearly stated that these guys are untouchable because of the cover of the gov't. Did you watch today's security discussion in Channels Saturday sunrise program? Ladi Thompson another security expert clearly mentioned Pantami again on air that he(Ladi Thompson) was amongst the envoy that evacuated/rescued the students and the dead body of Samuel Achi who was killed right inside the mosque at Tafawa Balewa university under the supervision of Pantami he didn't mince words saying it. He said they interrogated other students that survived the Fatwa placed on them and Pantami was fingered, this was as far back as 2004 according to him. Why is no one asking why he(Pantami) was expelled from the university where he served as the Chief Imam? Infact Ladi Thompson said Pantami was even on an Alqaeda website, and said Osama bin Laden was initially hiding in Sudan & some Nigerians were known to have paid homage. Unfortunately this gov't shamelessly came out to defend such a person with a horrible past, something that an Obasanjo or Yar'Adua would never had tolerated. Look at the aggresion at which they treat secessionists and soft pedal when it comes to terrorists/jihadists tomorrow all of us will be wondering why the country is divided across all fault lines. I repeat, the solution to insecurity in this country is more of the Non-kinetics, we can buy up all the Tucanos, MRAPS, Missiles, etc and all the best weapons money can buy in the world if there is no political will to address the situation we will keep moving in circles till the entire nation collapses. It is no longer a matter of HOW, it is now a matter of WHEN, time is ticking fast against us if care isn't taken we might just wake up one morning to sounds of martial music on radio/TV. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Whyem15: Too many sensationalists are not smelling the coffee. The sun has begun setting on the insurgency in the North East. New weapon platforms, age of fighters and just plain fatigue has set in. Boko Haram / ISWAP reluctant sympathisers who wish them victory to get back at Nigeria should look for something else to engage their morbid fantasies. Things come to an end. 13 Likes |

RiceProducers: The conflict has moved to the north west, I wished the military had considered moving some heavy equipment from the north east, especially from low risk locations to the north west this raining season knowing the attacks in the northeast would drastically reduce. I'm pretty sure that many of the bandits would decide they've made enough money from the venture once there is a relentless offensive. 2 Likes |

With the delivery of the rest of the tucanos in coming months, the delivery of some of the M346s, and with some of the other aircrafts currently on maintenance outside coming back, things should get better. If the Army were to be as determined as the airforce and the navy, the future would have been brighter. 2 Likes |

The Defence Intelligence Agency is the primary military intelligence agency of Nigeria. “The agency has declared retired Navy Commodore Kunle Olawunmi wanted for spilling the beans over Boko Haram sponsors in the Buhari regime. They asked him to come with his international passport on Tuesday to the DIA office in Abuja,” a top source said. SaharaReporters had last Wednesday reported that Olawunmi spoke when he featured on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme. He had condemned Tuesday's attack by bloodthirsty bandits on the Kaduna campus of Nigeria’s foremost military university, the Nigerian Defence Academy, where two military officers were killed and another kidnapped. The Professor of Global Security Studies had said, “It is an aberration; you don’t attack the Nigerian Defence Academy and get away with it. In 2017, I carried out an investigation by the Minister of Defence that wanted me to check what was going on with the training and the security there (NDA). I remember I spent about a week in the NDA with the commandant and the staff but something struck me: every Friday, the gate of NDA is thrown open and everybody has access to pray in the mosque. “On Fridays, you are going to see the same thing happening across all military formations in the country. If you go to Defence Headquarters, I served at the Defence Headquarters as the Deputy Director, Defence Administration, between 2015 and 2017, throughout my two years at Defence Headquarters, I received visitors twice because of the strict security architecture there but every Friday, the gate of the Defence Headquarters is thrown wide open for everybody to come in and observe Juma’at. “That is the time the terrorists have the time to profile our security environment. It has always been the case. I have served the military intelligence for the past 35 years. Our problem is religion and socio-cultural.” http://saharareporters.com/2021/08/28/breaking-defence-intelligence-agency-declares-retired-commodore-olawunmi-wanted-over |

AskiaHarem:My mother asked the gunmen to kill her alone and spare us but they shot her and all my siblings —Survivor of Yelwa-Zangam attack recounts tales of horror It was all tears at the Our Lady of Apostle Hospital, Jos, Plateau State during the week when relations and sympathisers besieged the hospital to see those who survived the attack on Yelwa-Zangam in Jos, North local government area of Plateau by gunmen said to be Fulani. The attackers, who were in their large number were said to have invaded the community at about 8:30 pm. They destroyed the local bridge linking the community to the city centre with the primary aim of blocking any rescue mission or intervention from the neighbouring communities and the security agencies. It was gathered from some of the survivors of the attack that the marauders, despite the curfew in place, came shooting sporadically and butchering anyone they caught up with before they began house to house operations. A survivor who said he was returning from work at about 10:00 pm said he took cover under the bridge throughout the time the operation lasted “For close to three hours that I was hiding under the collapsed bridge, there was wailing and crying from all the houses in the community while thick smoke enveloped the air as the marauders burnt houses. “I could not run back and I cannot proceed to enter the community. I came out at about 2:00 am when I heard a siren from security vehicles near the bridge. They brought me out but could not go further because the bridge had been damaged by the attackers suspected to be Fulani militias.” Reliving the attack, one of the victims, Blessing Adubir, who sustained bullet wounds on her leg and hand. said she lost her mother and six siblings in the attack. She stated that the invaders arrived in the community at about 8:33 pm, and destroyed the bridge linking the area to the Jos city centre. She added that they shot their way into the community to probably announce their arrival shooting at random until they began house to house operations. “We were preparing to go to bed when we began to hear gunshots in different directions. I and my sister Joyce went outside but were forced to beat a retreat as a result of a sporadic gunshot. The nine of us inside the house escaped to a neighbour house where we met other people. “They force themselves into the house and discovered me, my mother and other siblings hiding in a room. My mother came out and pleaded with them to kill only her and leave the rest of us. One of the attackers told the other ones in the Fulani language to shoot my mother which he did. Before she collapsed my mother was still pleading with them to spare us, they shot at her again and proceeded to kill all other persons in the house. I was hit on my leg and my mother fell on me. I pretended as I was dead but watching them. “They brought out the mattress in the house soaked it with petrol and also poured petrol on the chairs. They set the house on fire and locked the door behind them. The entire house was filled with smoke but I struggled to crawl out through one of the doors that was not locked. “I was later picked by people I don’t know and brought to this hospital. Apart from other people shot and burnt to death in the house, I lost my mummy and six siblings. God will judge, If I die or survive this wound I will not forgive them. They may be happy wherever they are now, I know their joy will soon turn to sorrow” she cursed the attackers Apart from this, Saturday Tribune equally learnt that virtually every family in the community was touched and presently in pain and agony. It was further learnt that almost all those who took refuge in the house of the community leader otherwise called “Mai Angwan” were killed. A lady, Agnes Auta 22 years, who escaped with a gunshot wound now receiving treatment at Our Lady Hospital said immediately the sound of gunshots rented the air, a lot of people ran into the house of the community leader for a cover but the attackers later attacked the house. She said:” They forced themselves into the house, shot everyone and set the house on fire. I was shot on the other leg but I held on to the book of Isaiah 43:2b which says when you walk through fire it will not hurt there” God gave me the courage I walked through the intense fire unhurt. “There was blood all over the house, those who carried out the killings will regret it. We know them, some of them are our neighbours, we see them as neighbours but they see us as enemies. In that house, almost twenty people were killed,” she said. https://tribuneonlineng.com/my-mother-asked-the-gunmen-to-kill-her-alone-and-spare-us-but-they-shot-her-and-all-my-siblings-survivor-of-yelwa-zangam-attack-recounts-tales-of-horror/ 1 Like |

DubaiLandLord: When I read this I got seriously sad. Even if these people are getting support from a group in the govt the sad reality is that the violence will continually be a vicious cycle. One group will get killed and then their will be reprisals and it continues like that. I wonder who brought up the idea that's it's possible to wipe out a people. One day the left over will come back at you even if it's after a century. The reason why those at the helm of security should take things serious or one day na one day e go reach dem own. 2 Likes |

Top 10 consumers of PMS in the country, Zamfara and Katsina are on the list, along with Borno. Kano and Kaduna are not on the list. Most of the other states are those at the borders(smuggling?). The only reason why Zamfara and Katsina are on that list is because of banditry, Today, the governor of Zamfara has placed certain restrictions on the sale of PMS and the use of motorcycle.

PRESS RELEASE DEFENCE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY DID NOT ORDER THE ARREST OF RETIRED COMMODORE KUNLE OLAWUNMI The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to an online news publication by Sahara Reporters alleging that the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) ordered the arrest of retired Cdre Kunle Olawunmi for recently appearing on Channels Television programme (Sunrise Daily). The Armed Forces may not want to join issues with Sahara Reporters for the scandalous and malicious publication insinuating that it's Agency has ordered the arrest of Cdre Olawunmi (rtd) for sharing his views on matters of defence and national security. It is gratifying to state that the retired military officer who is on the military reserve list was only invited via SMS and voice by DIA to further furnish the AFN with relevant and pressing security information which he may be opportuned to have knowledge of as a Professor of Global Security Studies. The said proposed meeting between DIA and the retired senior Navy officer was intended to get credible tips on boosting the fight against terrorism/insurgency, banditry and sundry crimes. He was not asked to come along with his international passport. This in no way constitute any form of arrest speculated by Sahara Reporters. It is very sad that an online media like Sahara Reporters would capitalize on a proposed meeting between an agency and it's stakeholder to paint the story in a manner intended to portray the military as draconic government agency acting in a crude manner. The general public should please note that the AFN is a professional entity that will continue to be responsive to all credible information that will promote peace and unity of our dear country. As you will recall, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor has just completed his tour of the 6 Geo-Political Zones where he interacted with retired military officers with a view to rallying them to lend their support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria. In this regard, I wish to use this medium to encourage the retired senior officer to come forward to give valuable information to the military authorities as a patriotic citizen who has served meritoriously in Nigerian Navy in various capacities before retirement. You are please requested to disseminate this information for the awareness of the general public. BENJAMIN OLUFEMI SAWYERR Major General Director Defence Information 28 August 2021 3 Likes |
