The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has on Wednesday 3 July 2019, paraded 15 murder suspects who allegedly took part in the gruesome killing of the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Late Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (Rtd).

Maj Gen Shafa disclosed that 2 AK 47 rifles , a Dane gun and other dangerous weapons were recovered from the homes of the suspects.

The Joint Investigation Panel constituted by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin comprised 27 members and an attorney, drawn from the DHQ, the three Services Headquarters, Defence Intelligence Agency, Nigeria Police and the Department of State Service with a clear mandate of ensuring exhaustive and well coordinated investigation to uncover and apprehend the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

The Panel was equally guided by terms of reference among which were conduct of autopsy examination on the deceased and a ballistic examination of associated fire arms.

Prime among the suspects paraded include one Aliyu Usman aka Chiroma 35 years old, who is the ring leader of the notorious gang, Shuaibu Rabo 25 years was the second in command and Musa Muhammed aka Alhaji Lamido Tahara aged 45 years was the third in command, while Ibrahim Abdullahi aka Baba aged 30 years was the mastermind and facilitator of the crime.

NAF JET NEUTRALIZES 20 ARMED BANDITS NEAR MUNHAYE IN ZAMFARA STATE

The Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI has neutralized no fewer than 20 armed bandits at a location near Munhaye in Zamfara State in air strikes conducted yesterday, 2 July 2019. The operation was executed sequel to credible intelligence reports indicating that scores of armed bandits had assembled at the location for a meeting, supposedly with the intention of attacking innocent civilians in the surrounding communities.

The Air Component therefore scrambled a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet to attack the location, which is about 15 kilometres from the boarder with Katsina State. Upon arrival overhead the area, the Alpha Jet observed over 30 armed bandits attempting to flee the location whilst firing at the approaching attack aircraft. The Alpha Jet engaged the bandits with effective fire, neutralizing 20 of them.

The NAF, working in consonance with other security agencies, will sustain its operations to flush the bandits out of the Northwest of the Country.

slimthugchimee2:
Igirigi didn't perform up to per, so its production was cancelled

It wasn't cancelled, the programme was not managed properly: ie: only few was produced as prototype, was there an ambition to go into full production, CAPITAL NO !
Not only the Igirigi APC that is out of service because made available engine spare parts and servicing/production line. What about the. SPARTAN MKIII APC, The Kraz trucks purchased from Ukraine we don't see them again? Why engine spare parts.
I dont know if you watched one of the documentaries released by the NA of recent; one of the engineers during the vehicles plant presentation made mention of 600 vehicles in APC/MRAP are grounded simply because there engines are not readily available in the market, manufacturers have stopped producing them etc
One of the major function of NAVMC is to retrofit these over 600 vehicles that are lying fallow because of end user certificate of engine part and transmission system.

BabaOwen:
Since the Nigeria army now produce vehicles , how many will the federal government buy from them? Why are we not producing the irigiri in large quantities? In fact there is no news about the irigiri anywhere again.

I'm not sure I got the spelling right.

I don't think so...
You see the NA vehicle manufacturing plant was an idea born out of the inadequacy/insufficient needs of basic equipment like the uparmored vehicle, ATV and production line for armored vehicle such as MRAP and it's servicing & repair. Simply because of the military tight's budget.
In plain words I don't think the federal government would be buying such products from the NA manufacturing plant, there other more important pressing needs like more MBTs, IFVs both tracked and wheeled types etc.

A PEEP INTO OUR HISTORY


NIGERIAN ARMY 1ST REGIMENTAL SERGEANT MAJOR.....



Major Bulama Biu (1934-1998 ) The First Academy Regimental Sergeant Major

Maj Bulama Biu was born on the 15 March 1934 at Biu, now Borno State. After his formal Elementary School education, he went through the middle school education.

His military career began on the 5 February, 1952 when he was enlisted into the army. He was trained in Kaduna and served in the Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF).

When Queen Elizabeth II visited Nigeria, she promoted him to the rank of Corporal because he was the best dressed young soldier at the parade.

Bulama was a corporal at 44 Battalion Kaduna during the battalion field exercise (range, infiltration and intuition). He became the overall best soldier of the exercise. This had earned him a promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

His successful mission to Congo to rescue a British officer earned him a promotion to the rank of Staff Sergeant.

His hard work and dedication to duties were so obvious that he was appointed, in 1964 as the first Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the Nigerian Defence Academy.

He trained Regular Courses 1 to 21 Cadet Officers of distinguished character.

For his hard work and dedication to duty at the Academy, he was commissioned to the rank of Captain and posted to Depot Nigeria Army Training School Zaria in 1977. He became the Officer-in-Charge of the Nigerian Drill School.

In recognition of his loyalty and dedicated service to the nation, Captain Bulama Biu was honoured with the national award of Member of the Order of Niger (MON) in 1982 by then Nigerian president Alhaji Shehu Shagari.

He was promoted to the rank of Major and posted to current Nigerian Army School of Infantry (NASI) Jaji as Commanding Officer-in-charge of Drill.

He earned many Military Decorations/Awards amongst which are Nigerian Independence Medal, Congo Medal, Civil War Medal, Long Service and Good Conduct by Queen Elizabeth II and Member of the Order of Niger (MON)

Baba, carry your naval wahala and go. I'm with the airforce so I don't even understand but immediately I saw the video without watching it, I recognized that full kit with the navy especially the cap. AFSF boys will rather have AFSF written on their cap.

The logo are quite similar due to the flying bat / bird . However, a close up picture is needed to be sure.

Being navy is not an issue however Tavor is a standard issue for SBS while that same camo has been used many times by SBS in this hot zone.

Too many fingers pointing this at SBS.

PRESS RELEASE

INSURGENCY: ANOTHER MISCHIEVOUS PROPAGANDA VIDEO FROM ISWAP

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been alerted to another mischievous video footage being circulated online by the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), insinuating the capture of a naval Base in North East Nigeria.

In its usual mannerism, after suffering major defeats in encounters with Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency troops , the terrorists group has cloned another video, in an unwitting attempt to disseminate and propagate false information in order to gain accolades and present a public image of a virile force.

It is crucial to recall that the terrorists group had earlier circulated a similar video, following an encounter with troops in Baga area of the Lake Chad region, where they claimed to have taken over the Naval Base, Lake Chad.

Apparently, this video, shows ISWAP occupation of a disused boat yard, which is still being mischievously circulated, after careful doctoring, to portray a phantom capture of Naval Base, Baga, as if it were a recent victory in its insurgency campaign. The video footage is undoubtedly an unclever and amateurish attempt to save face, having suffered enormous losses in several encounters with troops in the last 7 months. It is also another failed ISWAP propaganda effort to project itself as a potent force with maritime capabilities.

It is worthwhile to recall here, that both ISWAP and BHT have severally suffered defeat during fierce offensive operations and Air interdictions conducted by troops of the Multi National Joint Taskforce (MNJTF) and Operation Lafiya Dole in Doron Naira, Ngouma in Cameroun, Arege, Malkonory and Tumbun Rego, where several insurgents were neutralised, including an ISWAP Commander. The insurgents were equally, recently defeated in the battles of Goniri, Nbaga and Gero by the gallant troops of Operation Lafiya Dole. Suffice to mention that huge cache of arms, ammunition and other weapon systems were recovered from the insurgents during the offensive operations.

Members of the public are therefore, please urged not fall for the propaganda antics of ISWAP and Boko Haram terrorists and to discountenance the false video.

Tobiloba2407:
oh!! boy stop zapping at me, that's not sbs....I'm a navy type and trained above regular army infantry, i know what im saying, so throw pride and emotions away, that isnt SBS....i know my people!!!, that's not sbs logo, thats AFSF my friend take dressing and even at least use Google, that's all.

Truly you're a naval personnel ..... and you can't I'D if this guys are SBSC or not.
It's certainly that guys In the pictures are Naval guys, and from the picture you can easily tell that some are SBSC and still AFSF guys and some are just SBSC.
Show this pictures to some of your naval guys they would easily I.D them.... and nobody is zapping you learn how to argue constructively without spitting shit.

Tobiloba2407:
i thought you paid dues in the north east, how come you dont know only AFSF wear that camouflage, and their logo?

Even if my assumptions where wrong that's not how to open your mouth and react? It as nothing to do with my dues alright.
These quys are SBSC if you av been in Abuja before. These is not the first time have seeing them. Look closely the logo is not AFSF, some of the guys in AFSF camouflage are SBSC guys that trained in North East Europe. Luckily enough @henry posted pictures on his thread that justified my assumptions.

Tobiloba2407:
those are not sbs, those are armed forces special forces, maybe a navy component or mixed forces

Those guys are SBSC.
