Happening now is the is the ascending of the famous Aso Rock by the troops of Guards Brigade Nigerian Army to mark the formation's end of 2017 training year. One unique aspect of It is the presence of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai as Special Guest of Honour. Typical of him, he is also ascending along with Principal Staff Officers of the Army Headquarters:

That I can't really answer.

But even in the developed western and European countries, do attack jets escorts the presidential/president aircraft. I don't think so except there is a security threats that calls for such situations.

Fingers crossed.......

Hope civilians won't be harassed for wearing army surplus like the JTF guy. These frontline troops are the real men.
