'THE NIGERIAN ARMY ABANDONS ARMY CAPTAIN ATTACKED BY ARMED BANDITS WITH GRENADE IN ZAMFARA. BATTLES FOR LIFE IN PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN ABUJA

A Captain in the Nigerian Army has been abandoned by the Army and left to die after being attacked with a Grenade by Armed Bandits in Zamfara on the 29th December 2018.

The captain who served in various parts of Borno state including Chibok,when Boko Haram was at it's peak,fought many battles some side by side with the Late Col.Abu Ali, engaged Boko Haram terrorists for 6 whole years,after which the Army posted him to Zamfara(giving him no rest whatsoever ever in 7years from the battle field) when the issue of Armed Bandits started getting out of hand.

On the 29th December 2018, while out on a clearance operation in the forests of Zurmi Local Government of Zamfara state, the officers and soldiers were attacked in ambush by Armed Bandits, many soldiers lost their lives..The Grenade that the Armed Bandits threw at the officers shattered the Captains legs,and several particules of the explosive entered and spread into several parts of his body. This on it's own, is also some sort of poisoning to his body.

The soldiers were immediately taken to FMC Gusau,few days after,Governor Yari and the Zamfara state Government officials visited him in FMC Gusau and offered to pay
his medical bills and so he was transferred to a private hospital in Abuja..

We deeply and sincerely want to thank the Zamfara State Governor and the Zamfara State Government for coming in when the Army proved inefficient and neglective.But is it the Zamfara State Government's duty to take care of Military personnel injured in battle?

The Young Captain has undergone over 10 surgeries with very little progress.
The injured officer has asked several times that his legs be amputated because of severe and unbearable pains..

Tnks for bringing these to limelight. These is very bad an not good for the image of the NA/military.
These captain should be flown out of the country ASAP.

SECURITY IN TARABA STATE RECEIVES BOOST AS NAF PROVIDES FUELING FACILITY, MOTORCYCLES, OTHER EQUIPMENT TO 23 QRW NGUROJE

In its quest to further enhance security on the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has provided a mobile Jet A-1 fueling facility to enable the refueling of NAF Helicopters that would operate out of the 23 Quick Response Wing (23 QRW) Nguroje. In addition, the NAF has provided motorcycles as well as other equipment and tactical gear to Special Forces personnel in the Wing to enable them more effectively carry out their assigned task.

The action is in fulfillment of the promise made by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) , Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, during his maiden operational visit to the 23 QRW on 19 January 2019. During the visit, the CAS had promised that he would continue to do all within his power to provide the needed logistics support and resources that would enable the Wing function more effectively and efficiently in ensuring peace and security in the area. The general public is therefore encouraged to go out in mass to exercise their voting rights as their security is assured.

*BOKO HARAM: MULTINATIONAL JOINT TASK FORCE COMMENCES OPERATION YANCIN TAFKI IN THE LAKE CHAD AREA.*

Recently Boko Haram Terrorists operating from the northern fringes of the Lake Chad Basin exploited gaps within defensive positions, which have since been blocked, to attack positions in Arege, Metele, Baga and other settlements within the locality. As a logical follow up to the atrocious and cowardly attack on defenseless civilians and their property, the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), comprised of troops from Cameroon, Chad, Niger Republic and Nigeria have commenced a military operation code - named Operation YANCIN TAFKI.

The aim of the operation is to take the battle to the remaining last hideouts of Boko Haram Terrorists within the designated area of responsibility of the MNJTF and subsequently rout the terrorists.

It would be recalled that a couple of months ago, a summit of the Heads of States and Governments of states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, chaired by President Mohammadu Buhari, met in N'Djamena, Chad, to fine tune bilateral engagements aimed at dealing with the Boko Haram problem. This operation is therefore expected to give concrete and far reaching expressions to the resolutions of that summit.

Furthermore, the MNJTF recognizes the challenges of effective coverage and reportage of a conflict, especially in the age of fake news. However, the Force is confident that the media in the affected countries will remain resolute and committed to professionalism and the common goal of eliminating terrorism in the Lake Chad Basin, as well as the stabilization of the area for the millions of its inhabitants currently displaced.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

jakeporeshenko:
NA Troops in Abba with their government issued tactical whips and sticks I’m joking

recent picture right ?

jakeporeshenko:
They aren’t useless, the biggest threat to our troops in the NE are gun trucks from the enemy, those BMP and tank destroyers would take out BHT technicals like target practice, best of all Boko boys don’t have guided anti tank weapons to counter these, 100x force multiplier over pick up NA field currently

Honestly @odunayaw as said it all, lets get fairly used BMP/BTR in large numbers. Upgrade to av additional add-on armor, day/night search & thermal imaging camera and RCWS...etc.
These would be a game changer in the N.E. theatre.

NAF AIRCRAFT DECIMATES TERRORISTS’ CAMP WHILE PROVIDING CLOSE AIR SUPPORT TO TROOPS IN BORNO STATE

The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has decimated a Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) camp and neutralized some of their fighters at a settlement called Arboko in Borno State. The operation was conducted on 18 February 19 while a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet and an Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform were providing close air support to troops of 82 Brigade Nigerian Army. In the course of the operation, the ISR aircraft spotted a group of BHT fighters within Arboko village and vectored the Alpha Jet to engage their camp with rocket fire, thereby degrading the terrorists’ structures and neutralizing some of their fighters.

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

Speaking during the press briefing, the AOC ATC, represented by the Commander 453 Base Services Group (BSG) NAF Kaduna, Air Commodore Idi Sani, stated that, following the directives of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, to provide support to the Nigeria Police for the peaceful conduct of the 2019 general elections, a Patrol Team from the 453 BSG, at about 2.45 am on 16 February 2019, intercepted 7 suspected thugs/bandits armed with dangerous weapons around the Hajj Camp, Mando. The suspects are Abdullahi Adam, Halilu Rilwan, Lawal Hassan, Idris Yusuf, Kabir Muhammed, Badamasi Alhassan and Idris Abubakar. Items recovered from the thugs, who claimed to be members of a vigilante group, include 8 dane guns, 3 cutlasses and a Volkswagen Golf 3 car without a plate number.

He also disclosed that 3 other suspects were arrested during the same period. One Mr Abdulrauf Yusuf (AKA GORILLA FIGHTER), was arrested, in company of Mr Muhammad Bello, in a Volkswagen Golf 3 car with Registration Number EG 181 ABS Abuja, around NECO Junction, Mando on 16 February 2019 at about 2.30 am. Furthermore, Mr Shehu Yahaya, was arrested at Amana Kasuwa on 15 February 2019 at about 11.45 pm with 5 machetes and a knife. Air Commodore Sani also reported that on 2 February 2019, the NAF Special Operations Team, tasked with dealing with kidnapping, cattle rustling and armed banditry, had intercepted a group of cattle rustlers at Riyawa Forest. He noted that, in the face of superior fire power from the NAF Team, the cattle rustlers abandoned 44 cows and 13 rams they had rustled. The 10 suspects were handed over to the Police while the animals were handed over to the Kaduna State Government for further action.

The AOC emphasized that the NAF, working in synergy with other security agencies, would continue to dominate its AOR with aggressive patrols in order to ensure peace and security throughout Kaduna State so that law abiding citizens can go about their legitimate businesses without hindrance. Fielding questions from the press, the Coordinator of Operation YAKI, AIG Mohammed Muktar Abbas (Rtd), who received the animals on behalf of the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, thanked the NAF for always assisting the Police in ensuring that citizen of the State live in an environment devoid of fear. He therefore commended the NAF for providing aid to civil authority in Kaduna State. Also present at the occasion was Superintendent Surajo Daura, who represented the Commissioner of Police Kaduna State.
