NAF COMMISSIONS NEWLY RENOVATED GYMNASIUM FOR FRONTLINE TROOPS IN YOLA

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commissioned the newly renovated gymnasium at the NAF Base Yola. The gymnasium, named after the former Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Nsikak Eduok (rtd), is part of efforts by the current NAF leadership to keep troops involved in the fight against terrorism in the North East, physically fit and mentally strong. The gymnasium has been equipped with modern physical fitness facilities and would further boost the morale of personnel while also improving service delivery.

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was represented by the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Tactical Air Command, Air Vice Marshal MA Idris, stated that the newly renovated gymnasium would go a long way in improving the general wellbeing of personnel. The AOC, therefore, urged the personnel to use and maintain the facilities properly.

NAF REFURBISHES FIRE TRUCKS 20 YEARS AFTER BEING DISUSED

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has made substantial progress in its efforts at refurbishing the disused fire trucks in its bases all over the country. So far, 17 out of the 24 fire trucks earmarked for refurbishment have been successfully repaired and handed over to the respective units. The latest set of 2 refurbished fire trucks was handed over to 107 Air Maritime Group Benin on 5 October 2017. It is noteworthy that most of the fire trucks being refurbished had been parked for over 20 years as 'Beyond Economic Repairs' . Furthermore, the refurbishment is being undertaken by a local firm, utilizing Nigerian engineers and mostly locally sourced materials and spares.

With the refurbishment of the fire trucks, the NAF is now able to more independently provide fire cover for aircraft operations at its bases thereby enhancing operational safety. As part of its corporate social responsibility, the NAF is also now better positioned to provide complementary services with regards to fire fighting in the host communities. The local firm, on 7 October 2017, commenced the refurbishment of another set of 2 fire trucks at 041 Communications Depot, NAF Base Shasha in Lagos.

The leadership of the NAF, being mindful of the enormous cost of procuring new fire trucks and the scarce resources in the nation, decided to explore the option of locally refurbishing the fire trucks. The foregoing decision by the NAF leadership is in tandem with one of the key drivers of the vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar. That key driver is ‘Robust logistics support and maitenance culture to sustain platforms and equipment serviceability’. Below are pictures of the fire trucks before and after refurbishment as well as short video clips showing the refurbished fire trucks in operation.

PRESS RELEASE

RE–GRAPHIC IMAGES: ISIS AMBUSHES NIGERIAN ARMY CONVOY, EXECUTES SOLDIERS

The attention of the Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE has been drawn to a news article published online by Almardanews.com (AMN), in which one Chris Tomson claimed ISIS had in an ambush against Nigerian Army convoy, executed 30 soldiers on Friday afternoon. It is very pertinent to state here, that contrary to the report, there was no such attack or ambush on any convoy of troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE by ISIS or any other adversary within or outside the theatre of operation.

The said report is not only false but another media propaganda and an attempt by Boko Haram terrorists to remain relevant and portray seeming potency. The graphic images used to support the article has been closely studied and found to lack nexus to any recent operational engagements of Operation LAFIYA DOLE. The photographs culled from "only god knows where" are not a reflection of recent operational encounters of Operation LAFIYA DOLE. The concocted story is therefore unsubstantiated and lacks credibility.

Troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE did not at any time have an encounter with ISIS terrorists, neither have they suffered from such fictitious attack as claimed. This points to the desperation of the Boko Haram terrorists group to create awe and hold the people captive psychologically.

Undoubtedly, the article and the graphic images are a bundle of unprofessionally packaged falsehood aimed at misinforming the general public by creating fear in the minds of people and building an aura of false potency around the terrorists. This can better be described as one of the last kicks of a drowning terrorists group.

Looking back at the activities of Operation LAFIYA DOLE in the just concluded week; own troops have continued to sustain devastating attacks on the Boko Haram terrorists in precursor operations in the north east. Aside neutralizing their hideouts in the fringes of the Nigerian-Nigerien border through coordinated air and artillery bombardments, own troops recently killed 2 fleeing Boko Haram terrorists in an ambush at Futchinam village in Geidam Local Government area of Yobe State.

Troops also killed 3 insurgents in another ambush in Lingir village where they recovered 5 AK-47 rifles, 5 magazines and 11 rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition. Own troops have dominated the theatre of operation and have denied Boko Haram terrorists freedom of action, hence the resort to the propagandist news on AMC.

Members of the public are enjoined to discountenance this mischievous publication as it lacks the least iota of truth. It is also imperative to seize this opportunity to remind Chris Tomson and Amardanews, that “publicity is the oxygen of terrorism”, therefore the need to thoroughly investigate and give a balance report is of paramount importance in the credibility of any journalist and media organization.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the general public.

Thank you for your cooperation.

SSBN:
This proves Boko Haram ia truly a spent force and is seeking media relevance. Since they lost the capability to terrorise whole towns and seize territory the group has lost media relevance. The loss of Sambisa was a death nail to them. See how eager they are to show the world they are relevant by shamelessly capturing their babarity and depravity on one of their captives.

Its been bad news for Boko Haram since Tukur and Abubakar took the reins of the Army and Air Force.

They av even ran out of ammo that they produce there own bullets......
