26 MORE BOKO HARAM INSURGENTS SURRENDER TO OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE

Following ongoing onslaught by troops of Operation Lafiya Dole conducting Operations DEEP PUNCH 2 in the Sambisa forest, additional 26 insurgents have surrendered to troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE.The insurgents who surrendered from the Damboa general area of southern Borno also submitted their weapons to the troops.

Parading the surrendered insurgents before international and local press correspondents, the Theatre Commander Major General Rogers Nicholas told the insurgents that all Nigerians were delighted to witness their penitence and abandonment of Boko Haram's hypocritical ideology and futile struggle. He assured them of adequate safety and subsequent participation in the Federal Government's deradicalization and rehabilitation program under the auspices of Operation SAFE CORRIDOR adding, that no surrendered insurgents will be harmed by troops of Operation Lafiya Dole. Gen Nicholas further urged them to call on their contemporaries who are still putting up resistance and fleeing, to reject Boko Haram hypocritical leaders and surrender to troops nearest to their locations.

Some of the surrendered insurgents who interacted with members of the press disclosed that the ranks of the Boko Haram insurgents have been severely depleted and fatigued, hence the resort to abandoning the struggle and surrendering.They also called on their comrades to turn in themselves to troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE assuring that no harm will be done to them if they surrender voluntarily.

The Theatre Commander enjoined members of the press to as a matter of necessity use their various media to counter Boko Haram ideological narratives and indoctrination.

VIDEO CLIP OF SILENT DRILL BY GRADUATING RECRUITS OF BASIC MILITARY TRAINING COURSE 38/2017

One of the highlights of the recent Passing Out Parade Ceremony for graduating recruits of Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) 38/2017 was the silent drill by the recruits. The silent drill involved quite a number of perfectly synchronized moves on the parade ground without a commander shouting out orders. It is interesting to note that the participants, who only graduated from BMTC on 2 February 2018, were civilians about 6 months ago. Kudos must indeed go to their instructors and the NAF leadership for the conducive training environment. Click and enjoy...

He is a Flight Lieutenant and the loss wasn't connected to the crashsite attack.

A flight lieutenant or a captain.....

I know we lost a captain,an AFSF.

saintjoel:
I'm so sure that attack must have cost N.A some men, saw this on friend's timeline,he's a captain and I think he lost some friends or men.

The captain was another battle, not the event where the MI-17 crashed.

I posted the captains pics on page 436

“My soldiers are in the heart of Boko Haram enclave that is Camp Zairo. The gallant troops have taken total control of Sambisa forest. We have broken the heart and soul of Shekau’s group, taking over the camp and its environs.

“They are on the run and we are pursuing them to wherever they go. This time around there is no place for escape anywhere,” he said.”

sconp:
How did they get the info? A mole?

It might not necessarily be a mole, they spy mostly on troops movement and activities.


We've seen them in most propaganda videos like the last one they released.

Stephandeswardt:
How can we make all this find.....and no bh killed and only weapon recovered was 1 ak47...... by the way, the guys in the ops are the guys in konguda i know a couple of officers, even saw 1 in the pic. ......the guys that have never lost to BH, also the guys that tend to loose most times to BH are tge guys from the armoured corps,thats why we have lost so much armoured vehicles. ..... . I wonder why, lets discuss

They abandoned and ran for there dear life. They where aware of the attack and ran before the ground forces got to them.

Stephandeswardt:
Why is a single gun truck moving....are we sure its not a decoy? I advise we wait for mass grouping.....and place an AR1 in between the vehicles, that way you can destroy more weapons , vehicles and BHT

It seems they where trailing the vehicle to its final destination. Notice the vehicle stopped and probably the ground operators decided to neutralise the target..... just saying.

BHT are in deep shit .........


The UAV has been trailing the BHT vehicle until it stopped

Probably they saw the missile heat signature trail coming, they stopped and abandon the vehicle but it was too late for them ....nice video anyway.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT DESTROYS BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS GUN TRUCK AS INSURGENTS FLEE

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), on 30 January 2018, successfully destroyed another Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) gun truck in the SAMBISA general area. The NAF RPA sighted the gun truck around ALAFA while on a routine armed reconnaissance of the area, following the dislodgement of the insurgents from Camp ZAIRO. The RPA picked up the trail of the gun truck until it arrived at ALAFA, where it was subsequently attacked. The air strike by the NAF RPA resulted in the immediate destruction of the vehicles in the targeted location, killing all the BHTs inside it, as no survivors were seen scampering from the location after impact.
