According to the rule, drones weighing more than 250 grams (.55 pounds) must be registered with the NCAA

Never know this rule applies to Nigeria as well.

The WhatsApp message going viral now.

*SMBLF Wants Weaponised Drones Investigated*

The attention of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum has been drawn to a chilling expose by Sahara Reporters titled:

*"Weaponised Drone Intercepted By Military Intelligence At Lagos Airport As Commander Receives Order To Release Suspect."*

The story read in part:
Personnel of the Nigerian Army Department of Military Intelligence at the local wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, have arrested a man for being in possession of two highly weaponised drones.

The incident happened on January 28, 2020 at about 5:00pm while DMI officers at the cargo section discovered a suspicious package concealed in cartons.

Upon opening the cartons, the officers discovered parts of two highly weaponised drones and the supervisor told the man that brought it into the country to go and report the following day.

Investigation revealed that the following day the man was asked to write a statement after which he was detained.

Upon interrogation at the National Air Defense Corps, Ikeja, the suspect claimed to be working for the Kaduna State Government.

Further investigation revealed that, Commander of NADC, Air commodore U.K Abdullah, later received a call from some unknown persons, who ordered him to release the man and drones.

Abdullah, it was gathered, later released the suspect and drones on January 30, 2020. "

This should be the kind of stuff Gen T. Y Danjuma said would not make us sleep if he should open his mouth if this is true.

How on earth would security agents allow Weaponised Drones allegedly meant for Kaduna State go into the system in a country raising fuss over attempt by other states to employ guards without even dane guns?

As far as we know Weapons ised Drones can only come into a country with the approval of the President and the end user must be the country's armed forces.

Indeed the manufacturer would follow the equipment until it gets to the end user as it is more or less a lethal weapon of destruction.

How did these equipments get into Nigeria and the hands of an individual if the story happens to be true?

Whose call would the Commander allegedly receive to release the weapons and the suspect?

How many of such dangerous weapons could have been brought into the system illegally by unscrupulous people with the lives of Nigerians in danger. This Is Frightening.

Our Demands

1 We call on President Buhari to immediately order the suspension of Commodore U K Abdullahi and cotain his movement while a Judicial Commission of Inquiry is set up immediately.

2 A UN supervised mop-up of Nigeria for weapons of mass destruction and other illegal arms that some people may be stockpiling for possible genocide.

See when, Nigeria is not even close to having the capacity to tackle the threats it faces. There are terrorists and traitors within and outside government.

If after preliminary investigation all those released were not found culpable; does Sahara Reporters expect them to be detained (despite their innocence) simply because they are northerners?
Interestingly; only two names were clearly identified in the report and directly associated with the incidence: Kelechi for being in possession with the drones and Mba for being implicated with the smuggling - seemingly both names resonate with a particular region known for separatist its (terrorist) agitation.

But Abdullah who happens to b d commander and ordered investigations to b stopped afta receiving a call is not culpable abi? Wen una wan begin use sense?

Nigerians think military drones and RC quadcopters are the same thing.

i saw what this people are calling weaponised drone...i laiuhh///go watch eyes in the skies...drones that deliver misiles are larger in size than a small chopper..cost over 35 million dollars..am sleepy already would have shown you what millitary drones look like,,,not something you put in cargo..

is this what you fools put in a cargo box...i dont blame you..when dino melaye flaunts your billions and you keep mute and still burn a kid that stole generator...


when you the whoe army buy a third generation firefighting helicopter and it is on state news..commision pencil factory..they have robbed people of their sanity....commisoning a 100 mter road and they say governor is working.

the last picture of drone are smaller in size because they are for short range attack and can carry 4 millies also...the type used on alqemani or so...from uae on bahrain yes no p..the biigger ones can stay in the could for longer day monitoring buhari and his jihadist pepole...

how do you put this ones in a cargo boy that can be carried by hand?

The dots are starting to connect.

1 - Do you all remember that Ooni went twice to see Buhari in Abuja over security in SW? On his last visit, Buhari promised to deploy drones and cctv to fight insecurity in SW. He never said in Nigeria....he said in SW!

That same day, in Lagos, Aare Ona Kakanfo spoke publicly and said thats not what we need in SW. He questioned why Buhari had not see fit to use drone and cctv to fight insecurity in NW, which is the breeding ground for bandits.

After Ooni got back home and delivered Buhari's message. Yoruba Elders met in Ibadan and denounced the idea. About two weeks after that they met again in Akure. It was in the Akure meeting the go ahead was given for Amotekun.

2 - Here now we hear that someone, a scapegoat hungry for money, has been given contract by Kaduna State Government to sneak shipment of weaponised drones into the country. If this equipment is truly to fight insecurity why is it being smuggled in? Which sky are they going to fly these weaponized drones?

3 - After the opening of Kaduna Dry Port, El Rufai had said to his people any shipment destined for North will no longer have checks or inspection at Lagos. They will be shipped with their seal to Custom posts in the dry port where they are inspected.

My people, wake up! Northerners are amassing weapons of war already.

Sorry for that Iboman. He is helping Fulani bring in weapons they will use to destroy South.

Are you not a One Nigerianist and Anti Biafran.?

You wey supposedly get correct sense, pls explain how could have Abdullahi been culpable in the offence; after having performed his duty as the commander by immediately ordering an investigation with a view to fishing out those involved?

They will release them once they discover it is meant to give the herdsmen upper hand against other tribes once they start the planned genocide.

Even though it is quite obvious that reading and comprehension may not be one of your stronger points; however, I am obliged to challenge you to prove me wrong.

Pray tell how the commander (Abdullahi) could have been culpable in the offence i.e smuggling of weaponized drones?

No excuses, pls!

Further investigation revealed that, Commander of NADC, Air commodore U.K Abdullah, later received a call from some unknown persons, who ordered him to release the man and drones.

Abdullah, it was gathered, later released the suspect and drones on January 30, 2020.
The commander, who only assumed duties in December 2019 at the NADC, was said to have instructed his officers to drop further investigation on the matter.

This how many of you fail JAMB and still blame it on the village witch.

Even though you have uploaded the relevant part of the story pertaining to the role of the commander (and the answer therefore right there in front of you) unfortunately you seem to lack the necessary intelligence to interpret the story correctly.

Pls tell me what do you understand by the above highlighted part (in bold)?

Then explain why you think the commander was culpable; in the primary offence of smuggling of the drones and subsequently release of the suspects along with the said items, as well as in aborting the investigation (which he had initiated) even though (as it can clearly be seen) that he was acting on orders - perhaps you are yet to understand the meaning of the word CULPABLE.

Pls do not embarrass yourself further by exposing your apparent low IQ.
