The Alex.338 is a bullpup sniper. The sniper held by the Nigerian soldier clearly is not.

COUNTERINSURGENCY OPERATIONS: CAS FETES WITH TROOPS IN THE FRONTLINE

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, earlier today feted with troops of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), who are directly involved in the ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the North East. Earlier on in the day, the CAS, accompanied by other senior NAF officers, had breakfast with pilots, technicians as well as other members of the ground and administrative crews deployed in Maiduguri. Thereafter, the CAS and his entourage proceeded to Yola, where they had lunch with the NAF personnel serving in Yola as part of the counterinsurgency force. According to the CAS, the main essence of the visits to the NAF troops in the North East was to celebrate with them on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr as a way of sustaining their high morale.

While in Maiduguri, the CAS stated that the NAF leadership was mindful of the enormous sacrifices being made by the NAF personnel, who are unable to celebrate with their family members, especially during this festive season. In his address, Air Marshal Abubakar assured the personnel that the entire nation was behind them in the ongoing efforts to flush out the remnants of the Boko Haram insurgents. He then urged them to remain committed while also making the most judicious use of the nation's resources entrusted in their care. He equally seized the opportunity to commend the NAF medical personnel that had been participating in NAF humanitarian interventions in various IDP camps in the North East. He expressed delight at the outcomes of the medical outreach programmes, which have proved to be an opportunity "to give hope to the hopeless", he said.

At Yola, Air Marshal Abubakar commended the efforts of the personnel in the ongoing fight against insurgency. He added that the nation was proud of them and that the NAF would continue to do its best at ensuring their welfare. He then informed the personnel that the NAF had just completed the reactivation of one Do-228 aircraft, which would be used to reintroduce courier service in the NAF. In addition, the CAS revealed that the second NAF ATR-42 aircraft had been reactivated and would be used to regularly airlift the frontline troops to visit their families.

It is recalled that the Air Marshal has consistently feted with NAF frontline troops during all festive occasions since his assumption of duty as the CAS, a development which has continued to raise the morale of the personnel.

Nigerian university builds trench to stop Boko Haram attacks




Authorities in north-eastern Nigeria have begun digging a 27km (17 mile) trench around the University of Maiduguri to prevent attacks by Boko Haram Islamist militants.
On Sunday three suicide bombers attacked the university killing themselves and a security guard.
There has been a dramatic upsurge in violence in Maiduguri in recent months.
Boko Haram, who want an Islamic state, loosely translates from Hausa as "Western education is forbidden".

Nigerian police say that in the first attack on Sunday, a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the grounds of Maiduguri's university, killing a female security guard.
Minutes later, four female suicide bombers then attacked two villages just outside the city, killing 12 people.
The trenches are designed to make it impossible for the militants to drive into the university as well as making it harder for them to access the campus on foot.
Borno state governor Kashim Shettima is financing the trench and has asked the Nigerian government for money to fund a permanent barrier.
Mr Shettima is also releasing money to pay allowances to guards drawn from local vigilante groups, who are working with the police to patrol the area.
He said that while the university was a federal institution, it was the Borno state government's responsibility to stop the militants from achieving their aim of forcing the university's closure.
Nigeria's government has said that Boko Haram has been defeated.
But, the BBC's Martin Patience in Lagos says that, for now, the army is failing to foil or stop the attacks.

You'll wait, personally I've given up on NPF, lost cause .... intact I blame them for most of our internal security issues, except those arising from inequality, marginalization and the rest.


Most internal security threats would not have grown into what they are today if NPf did their job as grassroot stage!

Pic 1 what an NPF tactical team should look like at best
Pic 2 NPF "special" anti robbery squad operatives

NPF officers are well dressed. Depends on UNIT. My dad guys are well kitted. I agree not all dress really well.

Your pics 2, I guess because those guys acted undercover that is why.
