@henry dis you notice that there is a chord connecting the binoculars and the pilots helmet.

SergeAlain:
This is exactly what i am talking about. Are we in the same universe? On one hand we hear of 8,000 voluntary surrenders or seizure of rusty virtually serviceable arms and dane guns from old and tattered men who could pass for farmers. Meanwhile on the other hand we see videos of fairly recent assaults from well armed and aggressive terrorists capable of overrunning a Forward Operating base and capturing significant arms and ammunition.

Propaganda is good and necessary during war, but i just hope our forces know the reality and prepare based on it.

That's the main thing mate.

8000 Boko Haram members surrender – Nigeria military

The Nigerian Military on Tuesday in Abuja said that no fewer than 8000 Boko Haram members had voluntarily surrendered to its “Operation Safe Corridor” in the North-East.
The Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, disclosed this at a lecture organised by the FCT Correspondents’ Chapel of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ).
The lecture with the theme, “Media-Military Relationship in the Fight against Insurgency,” was part of the activities marking the 2016 Press Week of the chapel.
Abubakar said that the surrendered insurgents were in a camp in Gombe waiting to be “deradicalised’’ by the military.
The general also disclosed that more than 10,000 Boko Haram captives had been rescued by the military.
He said some of them were reunited with their families, while others were taken to Internally Displaced Person’s (IDP) camps.
Abubakar said that Boko Haram had been successfully decimated by the military and government was working hard on the rehabilitation of the victims and reconstruction of the affected areas.
The general also said that the military would soon launch “Operation Safe Corridor’’ to address the menace of herdsmen across the country.

He assured that the military operation would put an end to the wanton killings by the herdsmen.
Responding to questions on the recent action by the military declaring some journalists wanted, the general urged the media not to allow sentiments to influence their judgment on the issue.
He said the military should be allowed to do its work, while assuring that no member of the media would be victimised unnecessarily.
Abubakar said that good military-media relationship was crucial to winning the war against insurgency.
He said the media drove public support for the military which in turn had boosted the morale of officers and the rank and file.
Earlier, the Secretary of NUJ in FCT, Hajia Rafat Salami, said there was the need for the military and the media to work together in the fight against terrorism and other crimes.
She said the military must see the media as partner in progress and not as enemy.
The Chairman of the Correspondents Chapel, Raphael Ekpang, thanked the general for finding time out of his tight schedule to share his thoughts on the topic.

ALLEGED KILLING OF ABDUCTED CHIBOK GIRLS BY NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FIGHTER JETS
The attention of the Nigerian Air Force has been drawn to the latest video released online by the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) group alleging the killing of some of the abducted Chibok school girls by Nigerian Air Force fighter jets.
It is pertinent to state that the video is not only a ruse but another mischievous effort by the dying sect to draw public attention to itself. Whereas the video showed a cross section of the abducted girls and an airborne aircraft, it provided no evidence that the supposed casualties were as a result of any air to ground attack. More so, there is sufficient evidence to believe that the casualties were arranged as the positioning of the bodies clearly defiles any natural setting of a location that has undergone aerial bombardment.
Besides, the impact and accompanying degree of damage to the bodies would have been more, were they to have died from air strike. It is therefore clear that the video is a make-up story to discredit the NAF, and more importantly, a deliberate effort to weep up sentiment among the public in order to dissuade and discontinue the use of airpower which has proved very effective as the major determinant factor in the successes recorded in the ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the North East.
The NAF has put-in place a number of measures to avoid the incidence of collateral damage. To this end, considerable effort is committed to undertaking Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, both day and night, to ensure that only legitimate military targets are engaged.
Besides, NAF ISR platforms carry highly sophisticated equipment on-board which are able to provide pin-point accurate intelligence about target location and description as depicted in the enclosed video on our ISR operations.
And where there are doubts about target status, we do not undertake strike missions. In any case, the NAF, being a professional fighting force, has not and will not engage in unprofessional practices in discharging its statutory duties.
The NAF will like to assure Nigerians, living within the vicinity of its operations, of their safety. While urging them also to disregard the BHT video as a mere propaganda, the NAF wishes to use this opportunity to restate its commitment to restoration of peace in the North East and other troubled areas in the country.
You are please required to disseminate this information in your mass media for the awareness of the general public. Thank you for your usual support and cooperation.

In Somalia, al Shabaab Allegedly Loses Its Leader

Analysis

Reports have emerged that Abu Ubeida, the leader of Somalia's al Shabaab militant group, may have been captured or killed in an Aug. 11 military operation in southern Somalia. Since then, news of ongoing security activities in Saakow, a town located in an area on the Juba River controlled by al Shabaab, have continued to trickle out of various media outlets. The alleged involvement of both Somali and U.S. special operations forces, as well as rumors of the interdiction of local communications networks, hinted that a significant offensive against key al Shabaab fighters or facilities was in the works. However, the news that Ubeida and several other top leaders were the targets of the raid could indicate a critical tactical victory in the ongoing effort to rein in the militant group.

Ubeida, also known as Ahmed Omar and Ahmed Diriya, became the leader of al Shabaab in September 2014 after his predecessor, Ahmad Abdi Godane, was killed in a U.S. airstrike. Since that time, Somali and U.S. officials have successfully targeted a number of high-ranking al Shabaab figures in a series of raids and airstrikes. (In particular, leaders of the group's internal intelligence organization, Amniyaat, have been caught in the government's crosshairs.) The sharp improvement in the government's results can largely be attributed to the development of intelligence sources, better Somali intelligence capabilities, or the focus of U.S. intelligence assets on tracking and targeting individuals of interest in Somalia. Therefore, while the death or capture of the group's leader is itself a notable event, the raid also reiterates the increasing success of Somali and U.S. attempts to strike at al Shabaab's core leadership.



Meanwhile, the removal of the group's most important leader could herald yet another shift in its focus or tactics. In the past, disruptions in al Shabaab's upper ranks have led to significant adjustments in how the group conducts attacks abroad or uses foreign fighters inside Somali borders. The 2013 attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall, for instance, came not long after Godane assumed control of the group. Similarly, al Shabaab conducted several attacks against passenger aircraft using laptop bombs after Ubeida took charge, a tactic the group had not focused on prior to his management. The answers to many of the thorny questions facing al Shabaab, such as whether to align more closely with al Qaeda or the Islamic State, could also be heavily influenced by who is at the group's helm.

For now, though, the operation will likely force al Shabaab's remaining leaders into hiding, or at the very least, to take extreme operational security measures to obscure their locations and activities. This could take a heavy, albeit temporary, toll on the group's ability to operate in Somalia in the coming months. And as al Shabaab searches for Ubeida's successor, the group's cohesion — something it has long struggled to maintain — will be put to the test.

UPDATE ON OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE

As part of ongoing clearance operations of the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the north-eastern of the country, troops have been conducting clearance operations and patrols in various areas of operation.

It is in this vein that a patrol team had contact with elements of terrorists at MOPOL and BOCOS general area yesterday Sunday 14th May 2016. During the encounter, a Boko Haram terrorist was killed and the team recovered 5 bicycles, wheel barrow containing sack of foodstuffs and a Tecno mobile telephone.

Troops on patrol also rescued 28 persons comprising 2 men, 9 women and 17 children of which there were 8 males and 9 females same at Bama Local Government Area, Borno State.

The rescued persons claimed to have escaped from Bula Musa village. They have been taken to Bama town for screening, profiling and possible hand over to emergency management and humanitarian agencies.

Similarly, troops deployed at Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Bama, intercepted 23 persons comprising a man, 5 women and 17 children (10 males and 7 females), with 2 horses and 3 donkeys who also claimed to escape from Boko Haram terrorists in Bula Musa general area yesterday, Sunday 14th August 2016.

In a related development, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) team led by Adam Zanna Karamma visited Bama IDPs camp to register the internally displaced persons who are below ages of 17 for distribution of non-food items. The team stated that, they intend to train them on skills acquisition and construction of temporary shelter.

In Dikwa, the troops also recorded influx of 37 IDPs comprising 2 men, 12 women, 12 boys and 11 girls from Gulumba Gana village which is about 45 kilometres astride Gulumba-Kumshe road axis, Bama Local Government Area. They were screened by the troops and the Civilian JTF who later handed them over to the Dikwa IDPs camp management for further registration and rehabilitation.

Troops deployed at Nigeria-Cameroon border in conjunction with Civilian JTF also arrested two escaping Boko Haram terrorists named Mohammed Mundilga and Ahmed Ali yesterday.
The terrorists who hailed from Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area, on preliminary investigation confessed that they were Boko Haram fighters and added that they sneaked into Gamboru from Abbaganaram village, Marte Local Government Area after tired of staying in the bush. They attempted to disguise and pass on as IDPs but ran out of luck as they were found out. Both of them have been handed over to the Joint Investigation centre for further interrogation.

Troops also carried out clearance operation and fighting patrol at Wadama, Izakah, Gelemari and Kalizaram villages.

Troops located in Monguno received information that suspected Boko Haram terrorists were extorting money and other valuables from residents of Zankari village.

They responded immediately and had encounter with the terrorists in which 2 of them were killed while one of them sustained gun shot wounds. The troops recovered 1 AK-45 rifle and 3 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition.

Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.

Top 5 facts about Ahmad Salkida

Following the release of a propaganda video by Boko Haram, showing the captured Chibok girls, the Nigerian army has declared three people wanted, the statement which was released by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the acting director army public relations. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter “There is no doubt that these individuals have links with Boko Haram Terrorists and have contacts with them. They must therefore come forward and tell us where the group is keeping the Chibok Girls and other abducted persons to enable us rescue them. We are therefore calling on all Nigerians and peace loving people to give us useful information on their whereabouts. We are also liaising with other security agencies for their arrest if they failed to turn up,” he said. Those declared wanted are: Ahmad Salkida, (Ambassador) Ahmed U. Bolori and Aisha Wakil. What though do we know about Ahmad Salkida particularly, since it seems he is of special interest? Below are 5 facts about him:
1. Ahmad Salkida now in his 40s is a journalist and writer, who has his own personal website and also writes for Premium Times, a  news media outlet.
2. Ahmad Salkida is a native of Biu, Borno state, Nigeria. This might have led to his access to the Boko Haram sect. He was the last journalist who interviewed the Boko Haram founder, Muhammad Yusuf in July, 2009 shortly before the violent uprising of the sect, and the downhill trend.
3. He does not currently live in Nigeria, but relocated to Dubai about three years ago, after he was accused of being part of the Boko Haram sect and had to leave for safety reasons. He has served as a mediator between Boko Haram and Nigerian army several times.
4. On Tuesday 29, July 2009, at the height of the Boko Haram mayhem, he was arrested by the police of the state and according to his report, the police were ordered to kill him. This order was later rescinded.
5. He once spent 5 days in detention with the other members of the Boko Haram sect at the police headquarters in Maiduguri. This was when Muhammad Yusuf, the Boko Haram sect initial leader and his followers, were killed. For now only one of those declared wanted has reportedly turned himself in to the police, and was told to leave and return.


Below is the picture of the said Ahmad Salkida

Woman declared wanted by the Nigerian Army reports to military


Aisha Wakil, a Nigerian lawyer declared wanted by the military on Sunday, is currently at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja.
Ms. Wakil is amongst three persons declared wanted by the Nigerian Army on Sunday for alleged ties to Boko Haram.
The three have maintained that they were not on the run and faulted the decision of the Army to declare them wanted.
Ms. Wakil told PREMIUM TIMES she arrived at the Defence Headquarters moments ago, but was not immediately taken in for interrogations.
Ms. Wakil said front desk officers asked her what she wanted and she told them she was declared wanted yesterday. But the officers said they were not aware of such and she asked them to read the newspapers online.
“They told me they will go and read and get back to me,” Ms. Wakil said.
A few minutes later, a supervisor entered the reception to collect Ms. Wakil’s passport and told her he’ll return 10 minutes later.
The spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Sani Usman, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that Mrs. Wakil had submitted herself.
“I have been reliably informed that she has reported at the Defence Headquarters and she has been directed to the Directorate of Military Intelligence,” Mr. Usman said.
The two other people declared wanted also say they were contacted earlier. They have also offered to make themselves available for questioning.

Hope say we naija people dey see say our neighbours in the south actually apply reasoning, sensibility, intelligence and craft in what they do with their army. Its not about force and posing in pics all over the place. They define their equipment for specific roles. I agree with patches, you cant string a hilux neither can u chute it down a C130.

Nigerian Journalist Ahmad Salkida Wanted by Nigerian Army Over Boko Haram Video

The Nigerian army has said that a journalist and two others are wanted for questioning after the armed group Boko Haram released a new video purporting to show the schoolgirls it kidnapped more than two years ago.

The army says it wants to question Ahmad Salkida and two other persons, Ahmed U Bolori and Aisha Wakil, because of their alleged link with Boko Haram.


Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the acting director of army public relations, said in a press statement issued on Sunday: “There is no doubt that these individuals have links with Boko Haram terrorists and have contacts with them.

“They must therefore come forward and tell us where the group is keeping the Chibok Girls and other abducted persons to enable us rescue them.”

Hours before Boko Haram released the video purporting to show the abducted Chibok girls, Salkida said he had seen the footage that he claimed was “exclusively” sent to him by the fighters.


Wakil, a lawyer, was in contact with the Nigerian government during the 2013 amnesty negotiations with Boko Haram fighters, Premium Times Nigeria reported.

Bolori is known as coordinator of the Faash Foundation and the Partnership Against Violent Extremism (PAVE).

He lives in Maiduguri, Boko Haram’s birthplace.

The kidnapping of the Chibok girls has become topical political issue in Nigeria, with the government and military criticised for their handling of the incident and their failure to rescue any of the girls.

About 2,000 girls and boys have been abducted by Boko Haram since 2014, with many used as sex slaves, fighters and even suicide bombers, according to Amnesty International.

Over the past few months, Boko Haram has increasingly used suicide and bomb attacks despite President Muhammadu Buhari declaring that the terrorist group has been “technically” defeated.

“There have been a lot of incursions from reports that we have seen, of our military making incursions successfully into areas hitherto held by the insurgents,” Mike Omeri, former head of the government’s Nigerian Information Centre, told Al Jazeera on Sunday.
