NAF COMMENCES 5-DAY SPECIAL MEDICAL OUTREACH IN ZAMFARA STATE, 4,500 IDPS TO BENEFIT

In furtherance of efforts to provide succor for victims of the recent spate of armed banditry in the Northwest, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is carrying out a 5-Day Special Medical Outreach for the benefit of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Zamfara State. The Special Medical Outreach, which began yesterday, 3 August 2018, at the Marafa Umaru Primary School, Shinkafi, is expected to cater for 4,500 patients. The first day of the outreach witnessed a large turnout of patients who were treated for various ailments and conditions. The medical services provided include health and visual acuity checks, de-worming of children, provision of prescription eyeglasses and treated mosquito nets as well as required meditations. Minor surgical procedures were also carried out at the Shinkafi General Hospital for patients with surgical needs. The beneficiaries all expressed gratitude for the services received from the NAF Medical Team

Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, the Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulazeez Yari Abubakar, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health, Alhaji Lawal Liman, expressed gratitude to the NAF for the humanitarian gesture. He commended the laudable efforts of the NAF under the leadership of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar, in responding promptly to the needs of his people. According to him, the medical outreach was a great relief and would compliment the efforts of the State Government in alleviating the suffering of the IDPs.

The NAF Medical Team was led by Group Captain Azubuike Chukwuka who is the Director of Public Health and Humanitarian Services, HQ NAF. According to him, the Special Medical Outreach was an initiative of the CAS designed to alleviate the untold hardship being experienced by the IDPs in Zamfara State. “We intend to be in Zamfara State for 5 days and we hope to attend to 4,500 patients while those that need surgeries will be operated upon”, he said. It would be recalled that the NAF on 29 July 2019, in compliance with the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, deployed additional troops and air assets, along with the necessary ground support equipment and logistics, to Katsina and Gusau in support of anti-armed banditry operations in the Northwest.

PRESS RELEASE
NAF COMBAT AIRCRAFT RECORD EARLY SUCCESSES IN OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA, NEUTRALIZE ARMED BANDITS NEAR YANWARI, MASHEMA VILLAGES IN ZAMFARA STATE



OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA has recorded some early successes, as Nigerian Air Force (NAF) combat aircraft neutralized several armed bandits during air attacks near Mashema Village and at another location 4km Southeast of Yanmari, both in Zamfara State. On 1 August 2018, ground troops, while on clearance operations near Mashema, came in contact with a group of armed bandits at a location West of Mashema Village and therefore requested for air support. Accordingly, a NAF Alpha Jet aircraft from Katsina and an Mi-35M from Gusau were scrambled. In close coordination with troops on the ground, the combat aircraft engaged the bandits’ location with rockets and cannons neutralizing several of them and causing a few survivors to scamper in different directions. The 2 aircraft subsequently pursued the fleeing bandits and thereafter neutralized them in follow-up attacks.


Similarly, while on armed reconnaissance on 2 August 2018, a NAF combat helicopter located over twenty armed bandits dressed in black attire with stolen cattle in their custody, in an open field near Yankari and Hayin Alhaji villages. The bandits, a few of whom were mounted on motorcycles, began to disperse on hearing the sound of the helicopter but were engaged by the helicopters’ machine guns. Several armed bandits were neutralized in the air attack while a few survivors, seen fleeing the location, were taken out in subsequent follow-up attacks.


It will be recalled that OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA, which commenced on 31 July 2018, is an intensive air operation aimed at locating and neutralizing armed bandits and other criminal elements in the Northwest with a view to restoring normalcy in the affected areas. The Operation will be sustained, in coordination with sister Services and other security agencies, to stop killings, cattle rustling and other criminal activities. Accordingly, the NAF continues to solicit credible intelligence from locals, traditional rulers, local government chairmen and other government functionaries to facilitate the success of the operation.

CAS UNDERTAKES OPERATIONAL VISIT TO KATSINA, CONDUCTS PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF ONGOING OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, yesterday, 1 August 2018, conducted an operational visit to Katsina to conduct a preliminary assessment of the progress of OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA. The visit afforded the CAS the opportunity to obtain first hand information on the status of troops, aircraft, ground support equipment and logistics support facilities that had been deployed to ensure the effective conduct of the Operation. The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by senior officers from Headquarters Nigerian Air Force (HQ NAF), was received at the Umar Musa Yar’adua Airport in Katsina by the new Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command, Air Vice Marshal Samson Akpasa.

Briefing the CAS and visiting team on the conduct of the operation, the Air Component Commander (ACC) OPERATION SHARAN DAJI, Air Commodore Ayoola Jolasinmi, stated that the intensive operation was aimed at locating and neutralizing armed bandits and other criminal elements with a view to restoring normalcy in Zamfara State and the Northwest as a whole. He then briefed the CAS and his entourage on the current administrative and logistics situation in the theatre of operation as well as the detailed plan to ensure the success of the Operation towards protecting lives and properties of the civil populace. He emphasized that all troops and attack aircraft would operate strictly within the ambit of the specified Rules of Engagement (ROE), in line with global best practices.

The CAS expressed his satisfaction with the logistics and administrative arrangements so far made to ensure the success of the Operation. He assured the ACC that the NAF would continue to provide all that was needed to sustain the morale of participating personnel towards the overall success of the Operation. He then directed that air power’s inherent lethality and firepower should be employed to dominate the area and sustain the onslaught on the armed bandits to end the killings and restore peace to the affected areas.

It would be recalled that the NAF, in compliance with Mr President’s directives, recently deployed additional air assets and troops to Katsina and Gusau and thereafter immediately commenced OPERATION DIRAN MIKIYA.

Henry240:
We've had so many smart Nigerian military guys grace the two military threads over the years.

However, i can say we have never come across a man as knowledgeable and down to earth as you.

I may not agree with some of your posts but i must say it's always a delight reading your posts. Never to big to say when you are wrong, plus insightful analysis in your comments.

Me too

Henry240:
That's not correct. Not Nigerian Air Force choppers.

Although there were rumours, all were unsubstantiated.

That was the rumours I heard then....

kikuyu1:
My,my,my! Ideally,an active or retired French intel guy would confess but that's not how it goes. Its up to us to add up the circumstantial evidence,look at Jean-Fraude's regional MO and connect the dots.

In early 2016 this news came out:
https://communityvoiceradio.com/the-cameroonian-army-might-have-intercepted-a-french-helicopter-delivering-weapons-to-boko-haram/

In December,same year a Frenchman was arrested by the NA in Sambisa!

IN FACT,HE ADDED FURTHER SAYING:

Are those Oyinbos,English,Portuguese,Romanians or Aussies?

Also why is AFP reviving Shekau? IIRC,since 2013 they've led the media circus resurrecting him at least 3 times!

At the same time who has destabilised the entire Sahel using proxy terror forces to justify basing their own forces on the ground to 'protect' gold,uranium and oil in Mali,Burkina faso and Chad?

My dude,trust me,Jean-Fraude's slimy hands are all over this poo!!?

My oh my......

@kikuyu1 where and how did you get these gist and links from

I can remember vividly during black days; 2014-2016 there where rumours also that NAF helicopter also deliver weapons, equipments and other relief materials to BHT.

I wouldn't be surprised if I hear such news
