Today in History.

Photograph taken in Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) of Major General J.T.U. Aguiyi-Ironsi while bidding farewell to the Congo where he served as the fifth and final Force Commander of "Operation des Nations Unies au Congo" (The United Nations Operation in the Congo).

It was taken on Tuesday, June 30th 1964 on the gangway of a chartered Lebanese transport plane which took him and 85 Nigerian troops back to Lagos. Ironsi and the men under his command were the last UN soldiers to leave the Congo in an operation that cost 420 million dollars. It did not succeed in bringing peace to the country.

Ironsi told newsmen:

"Remember this day. It is the end of an era. My boys are very glad to be going home. So am I."

A New York Times dispatch from London reporting on his coming to power as military Head of State after the army mutiny of January 1966 described him as "a somewhat eccentric, British-trained, tough professional soldier who carries a stuffed baby crocodile as a swagger stick".

"Charlie" was his nickname for the stuffed crocodile.

Ironsi was assassinated on July 29th 1966 during an army mutiny orchestrated by soldiers from Nigeria's Northern region.

INSECURITY: CAS EMPHASIZES NEED FOR REGIONAL COLLABORATIONS

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao has stressed the need for enhanced regional cooperation in the fight against insurgency and terrorism in the West African sub-region. He made this known while hosting the Inspector General of Senegalese Armed Forces (SAF), General de Division El hadji Daouda Niang in his office. According to the CAS, the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) and other armed forces in the Region must synergize their efforts in view of the transnational nature of terrorism and its impact on the security of the entire Region. According to the CAS, past collaborations between the various armed forces in quelling and resolving conflicts in Liberia, Sierra Leone and of recent The Gambia, are indicative of the import of regional cooperation and collaboration. In his words, ‘Now more than ever before is the time for us to come together to curb the current security challenges in West Africa.’ He went on to commend the Senegalese Armed Forces for always being on hand to collaborate with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) whenever the need arose. According to him, the collaboration between the NAF and SAF during its deployment to The Gambia in 2017 which led to the deployment of 200 NAF personnel as well as air assets to Senegal prior to Operation Restore Democracy in The Gambia is indicative of what synergy, cooperation and collaboration can achieve.

In his remarks, General El hadji Daouda Niang stated that he was in Nigeria to seek for collaboration and strengthen cooperation between the SAF and the AFN. He commended the NAF and other Services for their commitment to Nigeria’s internal security as well as the regional security of West Africa. He also used the occasion of the visit to recall his experience working with members of the AFN in Liberia and the high level of discipline and professionalism they exhibited which left a positive impression on him. General Niang also informed the CAS that the Office of the Inspector General of the SAF, which he occupies is domiciled in the Office of the Senegalese President and charged with the responsibility of ensuring the operational readiness of the entire SAF as well as those of other security agencies in Senegal.

General Niang was accompanied on the visit by departmental heads in the Inspector-General’s Office including the Inspector of Services and Logistics, Colonel Mamadou Sarre; Inspector of Administration and Finances, Colonel Babou Faye; Inspector of Health and Veterinary, Colonel Abdoulaye Ndiaye and the Senegalese Defence Attaché in Nigeria, Colonel Guirane Ndiaye. Also present during the visit were some Branch Heads and the Nigerian Defence Attache to Dakar, Senegal.

Fighters from the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram pledged #allegiance to rivals the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) after the former group’s leader died...

Following the death of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau last month, the video fuels fears that #ISWAP is consolidating control of the #insurgency in northeastern Nigeria..

The two groups have engaged in a violent rivalry for years, and if ISWAP absorbs Boko Haram fighters, that could focus #attention on fighting Nigerian Army.

OPERATION HADIN KAI: TROOPS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AIR COMPONENT NEUTRALISE BHTs/ISWAP TERRORISTS AT FOB BULA YOBE IN BORNO STATE

...recover gun trucks, arms and ammunition

Troops of 152 Task Force Battalion in conjunction with the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI on Sunday, 27 June, 2021 dealt a devastating blow on marauding Boko Haram ( BHT) and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) while attempting to infiltrate the Forward Operational Base at Bula Yobe in Borno State.

The terrorists, who came mounted on Gun trucks and several motorcycles attacked the location via an unsuspected crossing point, but were met with heavy volume of fire from the vigilant troops. The Land troops, in their usual dexterity swiftly and decisively engaged the terrorists, subsequently forcing them to retreat, having lost initiative.

The troops sustained the fire fight and successfully neutralised 12 terrorists, with several others fleeing with gun shot wounds. The troops gallantly captured one Gun Truck, one Self Propelled Gun-9, one Dushika Gun and one mounted QJC Machine Gun. Other items captured are one Light Machine Gun and five AK 47 Rifles.

Sadly, during the encounter two soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice, while five others sustained varying degrees of injury and have been evacuated by the Air component of OPHK to a medical facility, where they are currently receiving medical attention.

The general area within FOB Bula Yobe is cool and calm under the control of troops of the battalion. Further exploitation by the resilient troops is ongoing .

The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Faruk Yahaya has lauded the Land troops and the Air Component for their synergy and quick response, which is in tandem with the ongoing rejigging of the counter terrorism counter insurgency operations in the North East. He charged the troops to maintain the tempo and vehemently hold their ground, to deny the terrorists freedom of action.

Borno Governor Suspends French iNGO, ACTED, Over Shooting Training at Maiduguri Hotel

… Police Recovers Toy Pistols, Investigates Two Trainers

Borno Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has directed the immediate suspension of ACTED, an international Non-Governmental Organization (iNGO) following Saturday’s discovery that the humanitarian iNGO was using a hotel in Maiduguri for training some persons on shooting.

Zulum’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, who announced the Governor’s directive, said the French iNGO was found using toy guns and simulators in training exercises at a hotel located off circular road in Maiduguri.

Gusau explained that residents near the hotel had reported to officials that they were hearing sounds of gunshots from the hotel, following which government officials reported the matter to GRA Divisional Police Headquarters which oversees the hotel’s location. The police found some toy pistols at the hotel while two trainers, both Nigerians, were at the police station with investigation going on.

The statement said pending the outcome of police investigation, Governor Zulum has directed sealing of the hotel and suspension of ACTED from any humanitarian activity in Borno State.

Gusau noted that Governor Zulum acknowledges and deeply appreciates the roles of credible iNGOs which have been providing critical humanitarian interventions in different parts of Borno. He assured them of government’s continued cooperation and support while also upholding obedience to prevailing laws, policies and rules guiding all activities and actions across the state.
