PRESS RELEASE
6 DIVISION NIGERIAN ARMY INTENSIFIES OPERATIONS AGAINST CRIMINAL ELEMENTS WITHIN ITS AREA OF OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

1. In line with its constitutional mandate, barely 2 months after its formal operationalization, the 6 Division Nigerian Army Port Harcourt has stepped up operations to deter various criminal acts being perpetrated within its Area of Responsibility (AOR). These operations include; Anti-Illegal Oil Bunkering, Anti-Kidnapping, Anti Robbery, Anti-Cultism, Anti- Piracy as well as Stop and Search Operations against other sundry crimes being committed against law-abiding and peace loving citizens of the Niger Delta with huge successes recorded so far.

2. Most recently on 4 September 2017, troops of 6 Division Garrison, Port Harcourt on routine Anti-Bunkering patrol to Elechi and Abonnema Wharf discovered and destroyed several quantities of suspected illegally refined Automated Gas Oil. In a similar operation conducted by troops of 29 Battalion Tactical Headquarters, Bille, Rivers State troops encountered armed illegal bunkerers short of Feropkakama a notorious bunkering site, who on sighting troops opened fire. However, the gallant troops repelled the attack and pursued the scampering criminals deep in to the creeks with many of them sustaining gun shot wounds. Unfortunately, 2 brave soldiers were wounded in action, one of them critically but both are responding positively to treatment at a military facility in Port Harcourt.

3. In another development, troops of 3 Battalion (Rear), Warri continue to dominate their AOR with the conduct of Stop and Search Operations with a view to maintaining the fragile peace that exists in the area and to identify, detect and intercept criminals, arms and ammunition within the area. This proactive measure has significantly reduced attacks on innocent communities particularly along Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja boundary, Isaba community, Mofor, Okwuokwuoko, Warri/Sapele and other notable hot spots around Warri metropolis.

4. In a follow-up operation conducted on 5 September 2017 by troops of 29 Battalion Tactical Headquarters, Bille, Rivers State to the notorious illegal bunkering site at Feropkakama Camp where the troops had an encounter the previous day, more success was recorded as troops discovered 14 Pump Action catridges, 4 empty AK 47 magazines, 8 pumping machines and several other illegal bunkering tools while a massive manhunt in conjunction with other sister security agencies is under way to track down and arrest the fleeing criminals in order to bring them to justice.

5. In a related development, troops of 130 Battalion in Harris Town, Rivers State arrested one of the notorious kidnap kingpins known as Mr David Owhor AKA Chile who along with his gang members (at large) have been terrorising innocent people along East-West Road between Port Harcourt and Choba general area. The suspect is currently in military custody making useful confessions and assisting security agencies in making tremendous progress in the investigation that will lead to the eventual arrest of other gang members.

6. The Division wishes to thank all peace loving citizens of the region particularly those that are voluntarily assisting the Command with vital and timely information that is aiding us to achieve positive results in our efforts to protect lives and properties of all citizens and create a conducive atmosphere for peaceful co-existence. The Command also wishes to restate it's commitment to crushing all forms of crime against the Niger Delta people by criminal elements within the region.

7. You are kindly requested to disseminate the above information to the general public for awareness. Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Katyusha:
I thought the Egyptian EIFV (M113 chassis) was just a prototype that never entered service. Wow.

I love them and they av a lot if them that are in service. I think the NA needs these for our infantry.

We can get the used M113 or better still the BMP-1 or 2 and upgrade them.

LATEST BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS VIDEO CLIP MERE PROPAGANDA AND SIGNS OF DEFEAT AS 2 MORE KEY COMMANDERS WERE KILLED ON SALLAH DAY

The Nigerian Army has noted that in their desperation, the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists have released yet another video clip yesterday, in which they made all manner of spurious assertions, denying the surrender of some of the terrorists and the killing of 5 key commanders, among other lies, all aimed at instilling unnecessary fears in law abiding people.

Although the relevant department is still analyzing the video clip, suffice to state that it is sheer desperation and clear signs of fear as our troops keep closing up with them. Moreover, two other Deputies of the purported Boko Haram terrorists group leader, Afdu Kawuri and Abubakar Banishek, were killed in a successful military operation at Alafa on Sallah day, Friday 1st September 2017. This is in addition to Ba'Abba Ibrahim and 2 other Boko Haram commanders that died after sustaining injuries during their last ambush at Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno state.

We wish to challenge the so-called terrorist leader to produce the 5 key commanders earlier killed or the video of those Ameers he claimed not dead and are still with him. It is also instructive to note that Shekau is scared and rattled by the 40-day ultimatum issued by the Chief of Army Staff to the Theatre Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE and hiding from one hole to another, like the bush rat that he really is!!!

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

NAF COMMISSIONS OFFICE COMPLEX OF RECENTLY ESTABLISHED SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND, OTHER PROJECTS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commissioned the office complex of the Headquarters of the recently established Special Operations Command in Bauchi. Other projects commissioned on 31 August 2017 include the official residence of the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Special Operations Command and residential accommodation for the principal staff officers of the new Command. The idea behind the projects is to enable the AOC and his principal officers quickly settle down to the task at hand without any administrative constraints.

Speaking during the ‎commissioning ceremony, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, restated the commitment of the Federal Government to the welfare of personnel towards creating a conducive environment for them to discharge their constitutional responsibilities. According to the CAS, who was represented by Air Vice Marshal‎ Sadiq Kaita, the AOC SOC, “Only an Air Force with well trained personnel, equipment and motivation would be capable of fulfilling its assigned roles".

It would be recalled that the NAF recently established the Special Operations Command to enable the Service better address the challenges of asymmetric warfare, such as posed by the Boko Haram terrorists.
