What happens to people held in captivity in such camps we raid by air? if this has been the practice, why bother looking for Chibok girls when we raid camps like this?

Isn't it on of the major reason why the airforce carry out ISR missions, is anything wrong with the practice.

The NAF as released video of BHT holding captives in there camps in the time past, resulting to them no carrying out targeted strikes.

NAF DESTROYS BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS CAMP, NEUTRALIZES SEVERAL TERRORISTS AT NGWURI GANA IN BORNO STATE

In continuation of operations to seek out and destroy remnants of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the North East, the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE yesterday, 5 November 2018, destroyed a BHT Camp and neutralized several terrorists at Ngwuri Gana in Borno State. The operation was carried out based on human intelligence reports indicating that the settlement was one of the locations from where BHTs launch attacks against own troops’ positions and villages around the general area of Kumshe. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions later confirmed the presence of a large number of BHTs in the settlement and also identified a suspected Communications Centre with BHT flag and solar panels mounted. Accordingly, the ATF launched a coordinated attack on various targets within the settlement employing Alpha Jet and F-7Ni aircraft as well as Mi-35 attack helicopters leading to the destruction of BHT Communication Centre and neutralization of several BHTs.

The NAF, working in concert with surface forces, will sustain the tempo of operations with a view to destroying all remnants of the terrorists in Borno State.

This is Capt. Zakari Sani.

He got ambushed alongside his soldiers few months back in Benue by terrorists,he is the only surviving soldier,the first hospital he was taken to carried out wrong surgeries on him,they couldn’t even identify the problem...
Thread:
For months he is not responding to treatment,he was later referred back to Ceda crest hospital in Abuja by the Army,where he is currently bed ridden,still not responding to treatment thou it’s a better hospital,his relatives where advised to take him out of the country. All efforts to fly him out were in vain because Nigerian army refused,A family friend who is a Federal Member representing Sabon Gari Constituency, Zaria decided to speak to the Chairman, House committee on Defense, there is still no positive result,this guy is dying.
Please Nigeria Army you might have protocols of treating your soldiers abroad,but Zakari is not responding to treatment here,don’t allow this innocent soul to die,he got a bomb attack in Maiduguri 2014,it took you guys one year before taking him to India,don’t repeat same mistake

Perfectdanny:
Boss man is custom service also at the frontlines? If yes, can we get pictures?

Not really in the front lines. They are mounting only borders/check points together with the military guys.

BabaOwen:
hmm...why will the leader of a terrorist group be helped by the government to invade justice

The kin news person dey hear and read for this Nigeria sef, how about those people that stood as surety for him, what will happen to them

In my own opinion his not a terrorist or the leader of a terrorist group. He is just a voiceless lion seeking for attention.

They just need to sneak him out of the country for peace sake. If his imprison then we have too much protest every where just look at the Shiite protest, imagine the Shiite and Biafrans are protecting the same time . There might be a serious security bridge and collapse of government structures in some states.

You aren't getting my point lol, I meant what ever happened to pursuit? Each wounded terrorist that escape gets to come back to fight another day, eliminating such escape means they don't get to fight another day, that's all I'm saying, and definitely not saying it's easy, its just too often we hear people escaping with gunshot wounds, where are they escaping to exactly

Yeap you are right, going after them and eliminating those trying to escape but the risk of running into an ambush is higher.

It's either you are defending your base or on a patrol missions and leaving your course/objective mission in pursuit of BHT is not safe.

In these type of scenario, ISR missions are done over such areas in search of fleeing terrorist, then dedicated forces are sent after them.

right? hahaha, in most countries, cops will lock down an entire neighborhood just to apprehend a shoplifter, in our case, once a suspect is out of site, we stop chasing them lol.
People with gunshot wounds can't get that far, unless they disappear into thin air, I'm sick of reading that silly statement over and over

Look at you..... I can't believe you are the one saying these. These are not culprits neither shoplifter, these are terrorist you are going after.
And tell me where are you locking down, the whole Sambisa forest with hundreds of rat roots

HORRORIZON:
I find it hilarious that they always say that they've escape with gunshot wounds.

Yes these is actually true in most scenario, they don't like leaving there dead or wounded behind.

General Kabuk further stated that Exercise CROCODILE SMILE 111 will be land and maritime based.

"The land operations will include mobile patrols, snap checkpoints, raids, road blocks, cordon and search and other operations that can enhance the achievement of the exercise objectives, while the maritime operations will address the security threats within the creeks of Cross Rivers State" he said.

He explained the objectives of the exercise to include training opportunities, ensuring peace and security in the state.

According to the COAS - "The objectives of Exercise CROCODILE SMILE 111 are to ensure peace and security in Cross Rivers State and the general Area of Responsibility covered by 13 Brigade. It is also to create a conducive environment for the 2019 General Elections". "To this end, the conclusion of this exercise will kick-start Exercise PYTHON DANCE/EGWU EKE 111 which will be conducted by all formations and units of the NA across the nation in preparation for the 2019 General Elections", he added.
