Bandits have kidnapped two Nigerian Army personnel on Maiduguri-Damaturu highway, Goni Masari area in Borno.

A wireless message sent by 29 Task Force Brigade and seen by Peoples Gazette stated that the soldiers, identified as Bello Abubakar and Oyediran Adedotun were kidnapped while traveling to Kano, in a civilian vehicle at about 5:07 p.m. on Saturday.

It was reported that passengers in the vehicle alerted the army base in Mainok, having observed the driver’s suspicious behaviour and his familiarity with the bandits.

It was believed that the bandits operated based on information relayed to them by the driver, the signal message said.

Subsequently, troops from the 134 special forces battalion led by the commanding officer were mobilised to the scene, but the bandits had fled the area, seeing that soldiers were mobilised to the general area.

The driver and vehicle were also immediately apprehended and are in the army’s custody.

“The soldiers were on pass when the incident occurred. Liaison with Sect 2 MIB revealed that a SAR operation is being conducted while the driver of the bus in which the soldiers were traveling is suspected to be a prime suspect in the incident due to some indicators. He has been arrested by troops and is undergoing investigation,” the army document stated.

The troops were said to have dominated the Mada/Matari area with no further contact.

Mr Abubakar’s identity card and wallet were found in the vehicle, but the army was unable to discover the whereabouts of the soldiers and other passengers.

The incident came barely two days after a military officer of 16 Brigade, Yenagoa, Abbas Fatai, was shot dead by suspected members of Icelanders cult group.

Mr Fatai was shot dead at about 9:12 p.m. on July 22, at Igbogene Junction in Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa, where he resided, according to preliminary investigations by the army.

Earlier in April, some gunmen stormed Onipe village along the Ijebu-Ode-Ibadan road in Oluyole local government area of Ibadan, kidnapping one female soldier, Bola Ogunrinde, and two other women.

Mrs Ogunrinde was kidnapped while driving a Toyota RAV-4, with registration number AGL 66 FY in the area.

Yet the so-called govt has the time to be pursuing agitators up and down.

So Nigerian soldiers will pay Ransom and negotiate with bandits to release their men?

Wonderment

This is for anyone out there who have the passion for fighting for people’s right, don’t make the mistake of becoming a freedom fighting for NIGERIA masses,

Leave Nigeria masses, they love their chains of sufferness, hardship and poverty. These masses you want to fight for will wish for you to fail, to be killed or jailed. Nigeria masses only complain, but they are contented in their chains and in love with their oppressor.

Nigeria masses are contented/happy in their chains of hardship, poverty, killings, raping, oppression and suffering. They are destiny to this suffering and smiling way of life, as a matter of fact they are still in love with their oppressor and their oppressors know this.


So trying to liberate Nigeria masses from their chains and separate them from their oppressors will be a suicide mission that doesn’t worth it.

Arewa businessmen have upgraded oo.
The wonderful Nigerian soldiers who are great at maiming and harassing innocent citizens are now being used as a source of IGR by the Northern business men ..
