FORCE COMMANDER MNJTF ASSURES SURRENDERED BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS OF HUMANE TREATMENT

The Force Commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force, Major General Ibrahim Manu Yusuf has assured Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists who recently surrendered of humane treatment. Major General Yusuf made the assurance during an interaction with the former fighters today in Mora, Extreme North Region, Cameroun.

2. Addressing the former fighters, the Force Commander who spoke in Hausa told them that the entire Boko Haram /ISWAP idea is misplaced and orchestrated by a few misguided individuals who desire to inflict suffering on millions of people in the Lake Chad Basin, for their own selfish and personal interests. The Commander therefore urged them to encourage their former colleagues and friends who are still in the bush to come out and surrender. He informed them that countries affected by Boko Haram Insurgency have developed their respective Disarmament, Demobilization, Reintegration and Resettlement (DD/RR) programs to address the peculiar challenges introduced by the Boko Haram Insurgency.

3. In his remarks, the spokesperson of the group (name with held) commended MNJTF authorities for accommodating and catering for them and their families. He observed that contrary to a widely held opinion that fighters who surrender are being killed, members of his group are safe. "Our Commanders told us that we would be killed if we surrender, but here we are being treated like human beings". He expressed regret over the atrocities that they were misled to commit and prayed for forgiveness.

4. The Force Commander also used the opportunity to operationalize the European Union funded direct supply of Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants to Sector 1 of the MNJTF. It would be recalled that a fortnight ago, the MNJTF launched the programme in Sector 4 Diffa (Niger Republic) . All sectors of the MNJTF are benefiting from the European Union intervention.

5. The Commander Sector 1, Brigadier General Bouba Dobekreo , Staff Officers from HQ MNJTF and Sector 1, among other dignitaries witnessed the ceremony.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

COVID-19: NAF COMMENCES AIRLIFT OF ESSENTIAL MEDICAL MATERIALS PROCURED BY WAHO TO 13 ECOWAS COUNTRIES

In further fulfilment of its constitutional role of providing aid to civil authority, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to commence airlifting thousands of medical materials and other consumables, procured by the West African Health Organization (WAHO) for distribution to 14 member nations of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Nigeria inclusive, to curtail the spread of COVID-19. The airlift of the medical supplies is in fulfillment of the promise made by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the ECOWAS COVID-19 Response Coordination “Champion”, that Nigeria would provide logistics support to ensure the items are distributed to all countries in the Sub-Region. The 13 other ECOWAS countries are; Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Senegal, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Cape Verde, Niger Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali and the Republic of Benin. The medical materials, which would be airlifted in 3 phases, include laboratory diagnostic kits, Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), intensive care equipment and miscellaneous medical accessories such as coveralls, masks, face shields, goggles, reagents, viral transport medium, ventilators and oxygen concentrators, amongst others.

Flagging off the airlift of the medical materials at the 307 Executive Airlift Group (307 EAG), Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, yesterday, 4 August 2020, the Chairman, Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Mr Boss Mustapha, who was represented by the Honourable Minister of State for Health, Dr Olorunnimbe Mamora, stated that President Buhari had risen to the occasion as a true Champion who has demonstrated good leadership, solidarity, friendship and good neighbourliness to the Sub-Region. He noted that the NAF had remained the backbone of the logistics operations of the PTF’s response in tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic in the country. He therefore commended the pilots and entire crew of the 2 NAF C-130H aircraft that would be handling the airlift/distribution exercise for their dedication and professionalism.

In his remarks, while receiving the consignments for airlift, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Chief of Training and Operations, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) James Gwani, noted that, in line with the NAF’s responsibility of providing military aid to civil authority, the Service considered the airlifting of the items a great privilege and worthy contribution to a noble cause. He therefore pledged the commitment of the Service to a successful operation.

Also present during the flag-off ceremony were the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Zubairu Dada; President of the ECOWAS Commission, Jean-Claude Kassi Brou; Director-General, WAHO, Professor Stanley Okolo; Director of Operations, HQ NAF, AVM Ayoola Jolasinmi, along with other dignitaries and Government officials.

How FG Wasted Multi-Billion Naira Maritime Security Platform Patrol Boats

The federal government may have wasted over N34billion worth of 25 patrol boats purchased by Global West Vessel Specialists Limited (GWVSL) for the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) for the fight against piracy on Nigeria’s waterways. NIMASA had in 2012 signed a contract with Global West, a company linked to ex-Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemukpolo, Elias Tompolo, for the supply of military patrol boats to boost NIMASA’s maritime security arrangement with the Nigerian Navy.

But on coming to power in May 2015, the present government of President Muhamadu Buhari cancelled the contract, and through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), arrested the former NIMASA director-general, Patrick Akpobolekemi, who awarded the contract with some of his staff, and instituted a case against them and Global West Specialists Limited.

The case that was filed at a Federal High Court in Lagos in 2016 lasted for over four years but was only recently determined. Before the contract was cancelled, Global West had supplied 25 sophisticated bullet-proof patrol boats which were impounded by the EFCC, and put out of operation since then.

The EFCC in the case it filed before the high court said the NIMASA/Global West maritime security contract was a fraudulent contract. According to an investigator with the anti-graft commission, Ahmed Ghali, former Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, defrauded the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency of about N23.8bn between April 2012 and March 2015, through a contract awarded to his company, Global West Vessel Specialists Limited.

But recently, after four years of litigation, the case was decided in favour of Tompolo’s Global West and ex-NIMASA DG, Akpobolekemi. The High Court presided over by Justice Ibrahim Buba dismissed the fraud case. Justice Buba held that the prosecution “failed to establish a prima facie case” against the defendants, and dismissed the 40-count charge against them.

With this judgment, stakeholders are now of the view that the arrest, detention and arraignment of the parties to the Global West contract were a mere political vendetta. And so was the cancellation of the security contact, which the present NIMASA DG, Bashir Jamoh, few weeks before the determination of the case declared a performing contract. Dr. Jamoh had told newsmen at a press briefing that the maritime security contract between the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and Global West Vessels Specialists Limited owned by ex-Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, actually boosted NIMASA’s revenue and reduced the incidents of piracy on the nation’s territorial waters.

A former top management staff of NIMASA that buttressed Jamoh’s disclosure said the contract actually boosted NIMASA’s revenue as the agency’s revenue profile jumped from between $10million-$12million per annum to about $19.5million per annum. Collection in local currency also moved up to N80billion from N30billion.

Maritime operators opine that if the Global West contract with NIMASA achieved all this including reducing the incidents of piracy on the nation’s waters, cancelling the contract and leaving the boats to lie idle and rot away amounts to reckless a waste of resources.

Meanwhile, it is not known what has become the fate of those multi-billion Naira bullet-proof fast patrol boats which had not been in operation or gone for routine maintenance since 2015. There is fear that some may have sunk where they are berthed, like some ships detained by EFCC, or may have become scraps. Sadly, no one has said anything about those boats since after the determination of the case
https://businessandmaritimewestafrica.com/how-fg-wasted-multi-billion-naira-maritime-security-platform-patrol-boats/

So the federal government/NIMASA awarded such a huge contract to ex-Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemukpolo, Elias Tompolo.
