At this juncture, all I can say is that it's finished!! Quick question, what were the soldiers doing with anti aircraft gunships in the forests when neither Boko Haram nor bandits have fighter jets?? Or they just handed it to them on a platter of gold and still paid them huge sums of money to get it back from them?? I pity those still believing there is a country!! 6 Likes |

SenecaTheYonger: Surprise attack overwhelmed the troops carrying it etc. U guys have no idea what d military faces in the north, sometimes d enemies are 3-4 times thier numbers, they still fight them off...but it doesn't always work smoothly at all times. of course, there are some cowards among them too. To me, dat ransom for that gun should not have being paid, since they could figured out d attacker, intense bombardment should be carried out till they wipe him out & his men. Now dat they paid d ransom, dis idi#t bandits from hell will seriously target military equipment to cash out 2 Likes |

When Nigeria is ready to defeat these criminals, they will do so. Until then, let's keep watching these jokers. Also, in defeating these criminals, economic development is also necessary. |

DubaiLandLord: They can still be easy Target when they are about to land. They have to reach very low altitudes while still tens of kilometres away from the airport and airports runways are often located in remote isolated areas. Secondly, he may require a helicopter to move from the airport to his country home. due to the proximity, the chopper will need to fly low. The MIA/DIA must have done some risk analysis before proceeding. 2 Likes |

proclinician: The guy you quoted is a BMC bandit. He's only defending his fellow bandits. First, there's no airport in Buhari's hometown of Daura. The article clearly stated he'd be traveling to his home town, not Katsina. So to get from Katsina to Daura, he'd have to use a helicopter. Which those anti aircraft weapons can definitely bring down. 4 Likes |

DubaiLandLord:Hmmm... this AWACS you talk of, I'm not sure I know what it is. But from a quick google search, I discovered the AWACS is a kind of massive surveillance aircraft with a powerful infrared radar system capable of picking up 'low flying' threats (not exactly ground threats). Correct me if this is wrong? If I'm right about the AWACS, then all I can ask is ARE YOU JOKING? Are you really being serious or just taking a piss by assuming Nigeria has such capabilities? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

DubaiLandLord:You are actually dumber than I thought. The reason why they paid the ransom to get back the anti aircraft gun was because of the possible threat it would pose to Buhari's helicopter while flying to Daura . In your statement that I quoted earlier, you ignorantly thought the report was talking about the presidential jet . 3 Likes |
