You see that guy on purple, if I was to be with them, I will always tell him to be far far away from me. That's an x marks the spot. Even world War 2 soldiers don't dress with colors like that.

If you where a soldier, you can't say that to your fellow comrade. You never can tell if is going to take a bullet for you, probably cover your back or help you when you are wounded. And you just told him to be far from you

NAF AIRCRAFT DESTROY MEETING VENUE, NEUTRALIZE DOZENS OF TERRORISTS AT KOLLORAM IN BORNO STATE

The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has neutralized several Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters as they assembled for a meeting at their hideout in Kolloram on the fringes of Lake Chad in the Northern part of Borno State. The operation was conducted on 24 February 2019 following credible intelligence reports indicating that some of the ISWAP leaders and fighter had assembled for a meeting in a group of buildings at the centre of the settlement.

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, which was deployed for confirmatory surveillance, observed the presence of the terrorists at the location and subsequently called for 2 Alpha Jet aircraft to attack the group of buildings. Bombs from the first Aplha Jet hit the desired mean point of impact causing damage to the building and neutralizing some of the terrorists. Some of the surviving fighters, who formed the outer security cordon of the meeting venue, were seen engaging the NAF aircraft with Anti-Aircraft (AA) and small arms fire. The attack aircraft continued to engage the target area with bombs and rockets in several passes, mopping-up the terrorists who survived the initial strikes.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the Northeast.

RE: MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS HEARD IN MAIDUGURI

Multiple sound of controlled gun fire was reportedly heard at the outskirts - close to Maiduguri township in the early hours of today Saturday the 23rd of February 2019.

There is no report of attack on Maiduguri township or its neighboring communities. As at now Borno State especially Maiduguri township is calm and peaceful. People have already started voting in many locations across the state.

The gun fire was not targeted at members of the public but was for security calculations.

The public are requested to massively come out to exercise their fundamental right to cast their votes for the candidates of their choices.

Similarly, a futile attack on a security outpost in Geidam general area in Yobe State has been recorded. No casualty was recorded. The situation is calm and peaceful. People have largely turned out to cast their votes without any hindrance.
