The only part where the commander of that garrison failed is where not withdrawing with the military assets in the town and allowing the terrorists to destroy them.

Honestly NA HQ/DHQ has to start dealing with commanders who fail in there task or allow military hardwares to fall into enemy hands. If not this mess will contimue, just make a Scape goat of one and the others will learn from it.

In fact the video does not reveal what type of equipment has been moved. All i can say is that the NorincoType 89 is not in production anymore.

Probably we are buying what the Chinese Army has in there inventory.

ON 29TH AUGUST 2021

On the 29th August, 2021 at about 1530hrs the Kaduna Police Command received an unfortunate report of the assassination of Capt. Abdulkarim Ibn Na-Allah 'M' 36 years and a son to Senator Bala Ibn Na-Allah.
The report has it that the assassins forcefully gained access into the resident of the deceased at Umar Gwandu Road Malali, Kaduna during the night hours, choked him to dead in coldblood and made away with his Lexus SUV to an unknown destination.
The deceased was until his untimely death, a pilot by profession and not an army captain as being peddled in some quarters of the media. The Command is deeply saddened by this incident and extend its condolences to the grieving family as CP Abdullahi Mudassiru have since directed that a full scale investigation be carried out with a view to unraveling the identities of the culprit and bringing them to book. Detectives are currently leaving no stone unturned in compliance with the directive.

PRESS RELEASE

DEFENCE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY DID NOT ORDER THE ARREST OF RETIRED COMMODORE KUNLE OLAWUNMI

The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to an online news publication by Sahara Reporters alleging that the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) ordered the arrest of retired Cdre Kunle Olawunmi for recently appearing on Channels Television programme (Sunrise Daily).

The Armed Forces may not want to join issues with Sahara Reporters for the scandalous and malicious publication insinuating that it's Agency has ordered the arrest of Cdre Olawunmi (rtd) for sharing his views on matters of defence and national security.

It is gratifying to state that the retired military officer who is on the military reserve list was only invited via SMS and voice by DIA to further furnish the AFN with relevant and pressing security information which he may be opportuned to have knowledge of as a Professor of Global Security Studies.

The said proposed meeting between DIA and the retired senior Navy officer was intended to get credible tips on boosting the fight against terrorism/insurgency, banditry and sundry crimes. He was not asked to come along with his international passport. This in no way constitute any form of arrest speculated by Sahara Reporters.

It is very sad that an online media like Sahara Reporters would capitalize on a proposed meeting between an agency and it's stakeholder to paint the story in a manner intended to portray the military as draconic government agency acting in a crude manner.

The general public should please note that the AFN is a professional entity that will continue to be responsive to all credible information that will promote peace and unity of our dear country.

As you will recall, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor has just completed his tour of the 6 Geo-Political Zones where he interacted with retired military officers with a view to rallying them to lend their support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

In this regard, I wish to use this medium to encourage the retired senior officer to come forward to give valuable information to the military authorities as a patriotic citizen who has served meritoriously in Nigerian Navy in various capacities before retirement.

You are please requested to disseminate this information for the awareness of the general public.
