PRESS RELEASE

RE: MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS HEARD IN MAIDUGURI

Multiple sound of controlled gun fire was reportedly heard at the outskirts - close to Maiduguri township in the early hours of today Saturday the 23rd of February 2019.

There is no report of attack on Maiduguri township or its neighboring communities. As at now Borno State especially Maiduguri township is calm and peaceful. People have already started voting in many locations across the state.

The gun fire was not targeted at members of the public but was for security calculations.

The public are requested to massively come out to exercise their fundamental right to cast their votes for the candidates of their choices.

Similarly, a futile attack on a security outpost in Geidam general area in Yobe State has been recorded. No casualty was recorded. The situation is calm and peaceful. People have largely turned out to cast their votes without any hindrance.

NAF DESTROYS TERRORIST CAMP AT ZANARI IN BORNO STATE

The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed an Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists’ camp at Zanari in the northern part of Borno State. This was achieved on 20 February 2019 in air strikes conducted sequel to intelligence reports indicating that the terrorists were using the settlement as a staging area from where they launch attacks against own ground troops’ locations. A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, which was subsequently detailed for confirmatory surveillance over the area, observed considerable terrorist activities in the settlement and therefore called for the scrambling of 2 Alpha Jet aircraft to attack the camp in successive strikes resulting in the destruction of several structures as well as the neutralization of their ISWAP occupants.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the Northeast.

I don’t know-o, Sconp, I only get the impression he is in military intelligence. He mentions Contacts often and those contacts seem present most pronounced in the Middle East and North Africa. I’ve even heard him mentioned in association with Barbados.

The Navy should establish a Commando Regiment to span the gap between conventional infantry operations and special operations, to enable the SBS focusing on maritime/riverine operations and direct action missions.

Do you know that the USS Pensylvania(Ohio class submarine) can carry 24 Trident missle at a go.
1 trident missile is more destructive than all the bombs detonated in WW1 and WW2 combined.
Quite scary, the US by far is a Super power nation. I just can't get it why nations like Iran have so much confidence in destroying American in an open warfare. To say the least, I believe this is pure madness, even the Chinese won't survive an all out onslaught by the US armed forces. As far as I'm concerned only Russia can stand toe to toe with America the rest even Europe combined can't stand the firepower of USA.

No one has used a nuke since ww2 and America won't nuke Iran. That is economic and political sucide. Iran does not need to destroy America they know they can't they just need to ensure that any American invasion is so costly that America or who ever won't attack.

I don't think they even need an invasion or nukes to make a statement, they've just got to position there Destroyers in strategic position in the Mediterranean sea type in the corodinates of Tehran and haul barrage of ICMBs (MOABs/Tomahawk) at that them that will overwhelm their counter measures.
One major advantage US have over Russia and other super powers is (Strength in stockpiles).

They done this before. Iran does not care about losses. Every person America kills is a propergande victory for Iran. Rember you talk about a country that walked thousands of men in to Iraq machin guns armed with nothing in a goal to have the Iraq gunners run out of ammo.


All so Air power and cruise missiles won't defeat a country. We have learned this fact since ww2

I have being thinking of lately if Nigerian Navy have Submarines. If they don't do they have the capability to operate one in the immediate if to say one is acquired.
It's like Nigeria have a secret nuclear program,( whether it's for civil use or otherwise I can't say), I've confirmed the site(Won't go any further 4 security reasons) how really prepared are we against external aggression putting into cognizance the race for arms stockpiling in other countries.
May God help Nigeria when Armageddon comes.

The idea is that the Navy should field their own Tier 2 Units, trained to support and assist the SBS but right-sized to conduct missions like Long Range Patrols or amphibious assaults independently. (eg: 2x Commando Battalions and 1x Support Battalion)
