R. I. P captain. Why's he wearing Kenyan camo?

Our front line soldiers, wear anything they lay there hands on.....

A gallant Nigerian Army officer, Major MM Hassan, has died after a grenade he was carrying reportedly "fell" exploded, killing him instantly. Major Hassan was very popular in Damboa, at a point he was bestowed with the title of Sarkin Yaki-meaning the King of War by locals

Rather Unfortunate

Rest in Peace Captain. Till Valhalla!

Seriously i think after this BH issue,the govt should get proof against chad and carry out a bit of strike on chad.......i will advise am ammunition dump and their airforce

There was a time our troops were killed by shilka mounted on Toyota (same used by the Chadians troops ) the Nigerian military was able to capture the hardware but we lost some guys then. Our military claimed those weapons were not from Nigeria.


In my opinion, put a very tight and strict rules on MNJTF. Increase ISR activities I'll suggest more armed ISR platforms should be purchased.

Deploy MRLS, HOWITZER, and more tanks for ground troops and find a way to deal with IED.

Iraq did it and took back MOSUL and others. We can push those useless BHT out of Nigeria and force them into Chad.

Nigeria attacking Chad means we've equipped ourself with good air defense systems.

I hope it ain't from enemy fire. More reason why we need more and better platforms.

I also hope it isn't aircraft fatigue too

I join to yell for more platforms

Few mi-17 they're being stressed out in my own opinion. Combat + transport. If those puma will do very well in combat, I'm sure NAF will over task them.

This Shilka belongs to Niger, Two of these were snatched from Niger after BH/ISWAP attacked their base at Diffa.

I hope it's not BHT AA. This is a major set back and it's been long I spotted any of our Pumas.

the puma? they've suffered too

I don't know how many pumas are in storage. They need to give them new life. The Mi-17 is affordable...they should be a priority

...but still something needs to be done. We keep borrowing money from some source to fund other things but we ignore the defence while people die everyday. Take a loan worth billions or strike a deal with the Chinese on defense acquisitions (not some useless deal where our airport will be sold like a particular country did)

I have also noticed Nigerians complaining about funding our defense sector. Nigerians need to realize I'm as much as infrastructure is important, defence is also important. If you're satisfied with the government taking loans worth billions of dollars for economic/health/infrastructural reasons then you shouldn't complain about taking loans for defence.

This is home.

UPDATE ON OPERATION DEEP PUNCH 2 BY TROOPS IN OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE

Troops in Operation LAFIYA DOLE have been making tremendous progress in the ongoing Operation DEEP PUNCH 2 in the various Sectors. So far, the troops have neutralized over 50 Boko Haram terrorists, destroyed and captured high calibre arms and ammunition, especially in the Lake Chad general area. Troops yesterday Monday 8th January 2018, cleared Boko Haram terrorists in Metele village, Tumbun Gini and Tumbun Ndjamena. During the clearance operations, Boko Haram terrorists abandoned the area in disarray leaving behind livestock, large quantity of foodstuff, motorcycles and donkeys.

Also in Metele however, the terrorists attempted to attack troops in harbour, but this was stiffly resisted with heavy casualty on Boko Haram terrorists. Troops neutralized over 57 of them, destroyed gun trucks and and other equipment. The gallant troops also discovered terrorists’ logistics base at Tumbu Ndjamena which held stocks of fish, foodstuffs, fuel and motorcycles. All these items were promptly destroyed.

Troops also captured 1 Anti-Aircraft Gun, 116 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition with metal links, 4 Ak-47 rifles, 57 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition (Special), 2 Light Machine Guns, 2 Rocket Propelled Grenade 7 (RPG 7) Tubes, with one RPG Bomb and 2 already primed 36 Hand Grenades. Other recovered items include 1 Small Solar panel with a Gionee mobile phone, 1 Holy Qur’an, 6 Hadith Books, as well as 5 Gun trucks (which were destroyed).

Sadly, 4 of our troops paid the supreme price while 9 others were wounded in action. Specifically, a Boko Haram vehicle laden with Improvised Explosive Devices rammed into an MRAP vehicle which exploded killing 3 soldiers, a Civilian JTF and wounding the other soldiers. The bodies of the gallant and wounded heroes have been evacuated to 8 Division Medical Services and Hospital, Monguno.
