NAF STRIKES BOKO HARAM BUILDINGS IN BORNO AS OPERATION RUWAN WUTA INTENSIFIES

In furtherance of the recently commenced Operation RUWAN WUTA, on 7 September 2017, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) conducted air interdiction on structures with 2 hoisted Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) Organization flags in Zanari, a known location with significant BHT presence at the northern fringes of Borno State bordering Lake Chad. Quite a number of BHTs had earlier been spotted, from a NAF Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance platform, entering the buildings apparently for meetings. The F-7Ni and the Alpha Jet aircraft were detailed to attack the target. Overhead the location, the target was acquired and engaged by the 2 aircraft, in rapid succession. Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment revealed that the targeted structures went up in flames, killing its occupants.

The objective of Operation RUWAN WUTA is to further degrade the capability of the BHTs thereby preventing them from regrouping to cause havoc for our surface forces. The Operation also aims at softening the ground for our surface forces to subsequently move in and conduct mopping up operations.

Wow. Seems the Egyptians are doing a good job balancing the relationship between both US and Russia simultaneously, without a fuss.

The Egyptians are sneaky.....

How can you be a friend to a cat and rat, @ the same time

jakeporeshenko:
They probably can, it’s not hard to track the manufacturer and pressure them to give up their customer in Nigeria, or next time place a tracker on the container and wait for the owner to pick it up (thinking everything went according to plan), tail them to their place of business.

These is the 3rd or 4th seizure these year alone.

I guess some untouchable s are involved.

@bidex111
This is still my major problem on way the army handle thir operations in the Niger Delta. They should stop further destruction of farmlands and environmental degradation in the name fighting militancy. Why burning method? Why pouring those petroleum products on land and the rivers? This is harmful to the environment and fishes and aquatic life dies in the process. They are aiding oil spillage and it also causes some hard time to the navy mobility too because oil in the rivers. The Army has transport unit (S&T), this petroleum products should be converted to their use as it will also save resources. No matter how hard it is for us to accept it, Nigeria needs modular refineries. What the Army is doing now is causing more harm than good and creating more reasons for youths to take up arms in the already restive Niger Delta region. Professionalism is lacking in their modus operandi in that region. Oil war can't be won by guns and bullets. They should have won that by now. Late President Yar Adua saw the view and was on the right track before the inevitable happened.

A very good observation and suggestion mate.

jakeporeshenko:
Another seizure of 1,100 pump action firearms by Nigerian customs.

Same model of guns seized last time so probably the same importer.

Bleep ; who are behind these dirty business.

They should by now get to the root of these dirty business.

@xbee007 very beautiful. For me its okay to go posting tomorrow.

Odunayaw:
Xbee007 the eulogy was already beautiful without Badeh and the consortium of dungbrains

Tomorrow is about honoring him. Please don't let those flaws turn it sour

On 8 September 2017, my oldest friend in the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Navy Captain Kolawole Oguntuga, was honored when he was presented his award for outstanding work accomplished while the Nigerian Deputy Defense and Naval Attaché to the United States from 2013 to 2017. The Meritorious Service Medal was presented by Admiral Michelle J. Howard, Commander, Allied Joint Force Command Naples, Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe, and Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Africa during her visit in Abuja.

Kola and I first met in Abuja in March 2004 during my first tour there when he was Aide de Camp to the Commandant of the Nigerian War College. We then linked up again around late-2013 when he arrived in DC and I was the Chief of Defense Foreign Liaison. During my second tour in Nigeria we maintained constant communications between Abuja and DC which aided both our missions greatly.

This award was greatly deserved Captain Oguntuga - Kola. You and others in the Defense Attaché Office at the Nigerian Embassy in DC were highly committed to strengthening the US-Nigerian partnership and I greatly appreciated it.

Be safe my friend. Hooah!
