TROOPS GIVE ISWAP BLOODY NOSE IN NORTHERN BORNO

In the determined efforts to wipe out remnants of Boko Haram terrorists that now goes by the appellation of Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), the gallant troops of the newly formed Nigerian Army Special Forces Command (NASFC), Operation LAFIYA DOLE, have given the terrorists that attacked troops location in Baga a bloody nose. The triumphant troops, particularly the highly revered 707 Special Forces Brigade which is the vanguard of the great exploit, dealt the decisive blow that neutralised several terrorists along that axis despite prior warning to them by some unpatriotic elements.

The Special Forces commenced clearance operations on 28th December 2018, where they cleared Zare, Gudumbali, Kukawa and Cross Kauwa without any resistance from suspected terrorists. However, at Cross Kauwa, the unfortunate ISWAP terrorists made a costly mistake of raising their ugly heads. In professional fashion the troops exploited the situation to instantly and decisively neutralise the insurgents and captured some equipment.
Though some of the terrorists attempted to infiltrate troops camp at Monguno, the gallant troops lured them and neutralised many of them and recovered some arms and ammunition.

The troops who are in high spirit had since linked up with other forces in Baga where they cleared the Naval Base and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, in the process, the Special Forces lost one officer and a soldier, while 5 other soldiers sustained injuries. The remains of the two fallen heroes and the wounded have since been evacuated. The injured soldiers are in stable condition and receiving medical attention. The troops are now busy consolidating and clearing vestiges of the terrorists within the northern Borno State axis with special emphasis on the Lake Chad region.

The Special Forces attained these great strides in close operational synergy with Air Task Force of the Nigerian Air Force who gave Intelligence and close air support by bombarding the ISWAP terrorists. The outstanding and dare devil exploits of the NAF's pilots gave more courage and fire power to the troops. Similarly, the Nigerian Navy Special Forces were not left out of this gallant efforts.

PRESS RELEASE

CLEARING OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS INFILTRATION IN THE FRINGES OF MAIDUGURI

There is credible information and evidence that in a bid to further intensify their psychological war and instill fear on the citizens, some elements of Boko Haram terrorists have infiltrated some villages in the fringes of Maiduguri city. They have clandestinely been going about threatening innocent residents, warning them to vacate their homes.

So far, out of fear, several inhabitants have moved out of their ancestral homes. Consequently, we wish to inform all well meaning citizens, especially within Maiduguri metropolis and its environs to promptly report the presence of suspicious persons or avail the security agencies of information about such persons. Failure to report will be viewed seriously as it is tantamount to collaboration with the Boko Haram terrorists. Such compromising persons when found will be treated like the terrorists.

Members of the public are enjoined to please cooperate and support ongoing operations to weed out the infiltrating terrorists and their sympathisers.

Please disseminate this information to the general public through your medium.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

NAF LAYS TO REST CREW MEMBERS OF MI-35M HELICOPTER CRASH

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has laid to rest the bodies of the 5 fallen heroes who died in the Mi-35M helicopter that crashed in Damasak, Borno State on 2 January 2019 while providing close air support to troops of 145 Battalion. The deceased personnel, who were buried today, 8 January 2019, with full military honours at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja, are; late Flight Lieutenants Pereowei Jacob (Captain) and Kaltho Paul Kilyofas (Co-pilot), Sergeant Auwal Ibrahim (Flight Technician), Lance Corporal Adamu Nura (Gunner) and Aircraftman Meshack Ishmael (Gunner).

Speaking during the burial ceremony, which had in attendance the Honourable Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, stated that the 5 gallant heroes lost their lives in the pursuit of the peace which we often take for granted. He saluted their courage stating that their deaths must spur the NAF to rededicate itself to even greater service to the Nation while strengthening our collective resolve to expose and fight all agents of destabilization and extremism in the society. Air Marshal Abubakar emphasized that all members of the Service must throw everything they have into the fight against terrorism to ensure that our departed colleagues did not die in vain. “We must do everything possible to bring the ongoing insurgency in the North East to an end that is favourable to our nation”, he said.

The CAS restated the commitment and unalloyed loyalty of the NAF to the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his efforts at tackling the security challenges facing the Nation. Air Marshal Abubakar ended his remarks by praying for the repose of the souls of the fallen heroes, who, he re-emphasized, had paid the supreme price in pursuit of the peace and security of their fatherland. He said they would be fondly remembered for their invaluable service to the Nation and humanity. He therefore encouraged their families to take solace in the knowledge that the Nation grieves with them, while praying that time would ease their present pains.

The Chief of Administration Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, while reading the citation of the 5 deceased personnel, noted that both pilots were members of 58 Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy. According to him, they were exceptional and seasoned pilots who had great passion for their jobs and carried out assigned tasks diligently. He remarked that Sergeant Ibrahim Auwal was a dedicated Flight Technician while Lance Corporal Nura Adamu and Aircraftman Meshach Ishmael were committed Regiment personnel, who had participated in several air combat missions against Terrorists’ locations within the Northeast Theatre of Operation. Paying tribute to the fallen heroes, the Commander 115 Special Operations Group (115 SOG), Air Commodore Elijah Ebiowe, extolled their sterling qualities noting that their patriotism, bravery, hard work and dedication to duty were glowing testaments that exemplify one of the NAF’s Core Values of “Service before Self”. While praying for the peaceful repose of their souls, Air Commodore Ebiowe remarked that “they gave their today for our tomorrow”. He said the Service and, indeed, the entire nation owed them an unending debt of gratitude.

Other dignitaries present at the burial ceremony included the representatives of the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence, Chief of Defence Staff and other Service Chiefs, along with other serving and retired senior military officers. Also present were the National President Nigerian Air Force Officers’ Wives Association (NAFOWA), Hajiya Hafsat Abubakar, along with other members of NAFOWA as well as friends and families of the deceased personnel. Other highlights of the event included the presentation of National Colours to the deceaseds’ Next-of-Kins by the CAS, laying of wreaths by dignitaries and the representatives of the families of the late personnel as well as the customary 21 gun salute and playing of the last post. Faith services had earlier been conducted by Group Captain (Reverend) Dogo Gani, Director Chaplaincy (Protestant) Headquarters NAF, and Group Captain Luqman Lawal, the Director Islamic Affairs Headquarters NAF, before the caskets were lowered into the ground.
