There's something going on in the COIN of borno that calls for concern. In recent time ISWAP attacks have reduced significantly and even when they attack these days it doesn't seem to carry much weight.

My best guess is either they are conserving their ammo and resources for dry season offensive or JF17 have been carrying out precision strike to wipe out their guntrucks.

An estimated 77 vehicles were stripped, destroyed or stolen from security forces; police, Army and CTJF units, comprising of heavy transport trucks, pick up in normal and gun truck configuration and armoured fighting vehicles; Isotrex Legion and Phantom II, Otokar Cobra, FV-103, Panhard AML-60, Mowag Piranha, Panhard VBL, Panhard ERC-90, Steyr 4K 7FA, BTR-4, Nigerian Army built Ezugwu and Conqueror, Vickers, T-55 and T-72AV MBT.

The number of these armoured vehicles that were unserviceable and abandoned is unknown but the diversity of the stockpile and location of incidents indicate that the vehicles were either used in defensive or offensive roles.

More than 30 gun trucks were either destroyed, damaged or captured by the Nigerian troops with 13 recorded as the military was pushing back an ISWAP attack on a military formation in new Marte in January. A significant proportion of the gun trucks, mostly Toyota Hilux and Buffalo land cruisers, are originally those of the Nigerian military lost in ambushes and large scale attacks on units.

ISWAP usually destroys armoured vehicles after stripping them of useful parts, likely because of the vulnerability of heavy armour to airstrikes or lack of expertise, or both factors.

The Terrain in Northern and Deep Central Borno do not allow easy movements during the raining season.

An Example is Rann in Kala Balge LGA, once it’s the raining season Soldiers and locals can’t move out with vehicles except on foot or Donkeys. From July everyone starts stockpiling his/her three months food stuff.

Fishing Period don Dey reach too if you know you know

How far have they come with that plot since 2007 as the man alleged?

The fellow said nothing new. Nnamdi Kanu, FFK, Igboho, CAN and the likes have all said these things a million times. Another recurrent thing about them all is the absolute lack of evidence or proof beyond conjecture and speculation.

The Intelligence guy spewed loads of propaganda garbed in the robes of an expert appealing to fallacy ad verecundiam.

I have been hearing these tales, this gobbledegook since I was a kid, I am still waiting for its manifestation.

There is this guy on Twitter who claimed the remaining 50 isotrex legion MRAP had been delivered and he saw them parked in a military camp while passing through, efforts to get him to share pictures were unsuccessful and he has since deleted the tweets.

Remember that the Army opted for 60 isotrex legion MRAP and 24 phantoms APC rather than 10 T-90 tanks. 10 of the legion MRAP were delivered before the offensive operation earlier this year and at least 3 were destroyed or captured.
Does anyone have any information/pictures as to the rest of the legions being delivered?

Whyem15:


Good day bro.
How far with air traffic over there, any significant changes in numbers of sorties?

SamuelAnyawu:



Highly possible. Two Brand new MRAPS came to my Brigade Yesterday. The Military were even testing the MRAPs Mounted guns.

Coolliot:
I think Nigerian military and iswap....are building up for the next fighting season....both sides are in blocking position and harbouring gathering resources....come November hell would be let loose.
But I must say this year has been more quiet than the past for BHT.

cutievik:


They might not stand a fighting chance, the top brass have all had some first hand battle experience and they aren't smiling too.

DubaiLandLord:
Two women drag an armed policeman who assaulted them during a stop and search. The policeman is alleged to have hit one of the women his gun which led to her bleeding profusely from the mouth.

The two women hold on tightly to his uniform and one of the woman's husband's can be seen in the video shouting "See what he did to my wife".

The police officer can be seen desperately struggling to wrench the womens' grip off his uniform while voices in the background can be heard yelling at the women not to release their grip.

It is not clear what led to the altercation.

The nigerian police force have learnt nothing from the ENDSARS protest

Salatavor:
This is their standards. What we have is a woman beating capable armed forces... This man reflects everything we need to know about the Nigerian Security Services.

Litmus:


Believe it or not, Salatavor, there aren’t many polices forces internationally whose officers would tolerate the pulling and pushing these Nigerian women subjected the Nigerian police office to in the Video in spite of the police Officer’s prior inhumane assault. Do you know that I was watching CNN or Aljazeera’s coverage of some of the disturbances that followed George Floyd’s death, and on one late evening capture, a black woman could be seen remonstrating with a white police officer that had manhandled her off camera. She flayed at the officer, as women do when they become irate, and the white officer’s police partner, an African American, stepped between them and gave the black woman a vicious left hook that knocked her down and flat out.

I was shocked that the news readers did not remark on the event when viewing cut back to them in the studio. Before this I had thought that the clip was to highlight this brutal incident but it seems the clip was in order to highlight something else. Her attack was merely incidental.

This may be the incident; however, i can see that the black woman punched the white officer, which wasn’t in my recollections

I’m not condoning police brutality, all these officers deserve suspension and the publics anger, I’m just concerned that we Nigerians are working ourselves up to such a state of righteous indignation , we are willing to tear ourselves apart in the belief that we are uniquely terrible people enduring uniquely terrible circumstances.
