[/b]Insecurity: Nigerian military takes delivery of new fighting platforms[b] The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, on Wednesday, took delivery of 20 sets of improved versions of Armoured Personnel Carrier (APCs) to boost the ongoing fight against insecurity. This is contained in a statement by the Acting Director Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, on Wednesday in Abuja. Gusau said the delivery was done in a brief ceremony by the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence, Dr Ibrahim Kana, on behalf of the Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru in Abuja. He said the APCs were improved version with improved weapons and communication systems that could locate adversaries from distance and engage them effectively. According to him, they also allow for seamless military operations, and the APCs were produced and supplied by an indigenous company based in Nigeria. The Permanent Secretary described the consideration for contracting local manufacturers to produce the new APCs as a welcomed development. He added that it would save the nation a lot of money, create employment and reduce over reliance on foreign currency. In his response, the CDS thanked the Minister of Defence and pledged to put the carriers to optimum and judicious use. He added that the machines would definitely boost the ongoing operations to rid the country of insecurity. 2 Likes |

Faithful007: The US government establishing military bases abroad/overseas; enables her to project power and social political affluence e.g. to conduct expeditionary warfare and thereby influencing events abroad. Depending on their size and infrastructure, they can be used as staging areas or for logistical, communications and intelligence support. The US government loves intervening, dominating and influencing countries political will, forget about the benefits they love wasting tax payers money alot. 3 Likes |

bidexiii: [/b]There rumours that the United States are lobbying for an Air-force base in Nigeria and it seems some politicians and Nigerians are kicking against it. The letter stated that the US and France are lobbying Nigeria and other Gulf of Guinea nations for defence agreements to station troops previously in Mali, Burkina Faso, and the Niger Republic. The northern leaders are worried that Nigeria might agree to this defence pact and jeopardise its defence and security. A lot is happening with Nigerian neighbours and within West African geopolitical zones, Shift in power from the West to the far N.E Europe Russia[b] |

[/b]Troops obliterate ISWAP terrorists in Timbuktu, destroy 2 gun trucks, recover Howitzer Artillery gun[b] Troops of the Nigerian Army swooped on the stronghold of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Timbuktu triangle of the Lake Chad Region, killing scores of the fighters. The week-long clearance operation being carried out by the troops of Sector 2, Special Forces Brigade of the Nigerian Army, HYBRID forces and Civilian JTF, in coordination with the Nigerian Air Force that provided aerial cover and reconnaissance duties, stormed and eliminated dozens of terrorists in the general area. The strikes in Kafa and Mafi general area by the NAF Component, on April 15, resulted to the total obliteration of two vehicles and the decimation of all the fighters on board. Again several terrorists were killed when they fell under the overwhelming superior fire power of the troops on April 16, 2024. The troops recovered one hilux truck and another on 1 x 105 Pack Howitzer. The renewed vigor and determination of the troops and the synergy between the ground and air forces that produced the successful result have elicited joy among citizens in the area who expressed optimism that indeed, the days of the terrorist are numbered,” the source added.

TERRORISTS ELIMINATED AT ZURMI, GUSAU AND MARADUN LGAs IN ZAMFARA STATE Following carefully conducted observation missions over the Camps of terrorist kingpins, Abdullahi Nasanda in Zurmi Local Government Area (LGA) and Mallam Tukur’s camp in Gusau LGA of Zamfara State, air strikes by the air component of Operation Hadarin Daji on 10 April 2024, have led to the elimination of several terrorists and their structures. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission conducted on Abdullahi Nasanda’s Camp had revealed terrorists’ activities around some huts and thatched roof structures. Some of their motorcycles were also observed hidden on trees. Having established that their activities were consistent with terrorists’ modes of operation, the location was struck by multiple aircraft passes, thereby neutralizing several terrorists. Similar ISR missions were conducted at Mallam Tukur Camp, where terrorists’ activities were also observed. Air strikes conducted on the Camp neutralized several terrorists and showed several structures set ablaze and destroyed. Air strikes were also extended to Kani kawa in Maradun town, under Maradun LGA of Zamfara State, where terrorists,their enclaves and equipment were attacked and destroyed.

A WEEKEND OF SUCCESSFUL AIR STRIKES AT YARTSAMIYA IN KATSINA STATE AND GRAZAH IN BORNO STATE The streak of successful air strikes by the Air Components of Operation Hadarin Daji and Hadin Kai continued through the weekend as terrorists were, again, denied freedom of movement aimed at targeting soft targets, especially innocent civilians. One of such strikes was carried out under Operation Hadarin Daji on 5 April 2024 at a terrorist enclave located Northwest of Yartsamiya Village in Danmusa Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina state. At the location, a set of 11 armed terrorists were sighted moving towards a mountainous area. Soon after, 2 separate sets of terrorists joined the first set of terrorists, and all were observed heading towards the same direction towards the mountainous high ground. The need not to let the opportunity of neutralizing the terrorists thus became imperative. Subsequently, the terrorists were effectively engaged by NAF aircraft in several passes with several neutralized and the few survivors scampering in disarray. Air strikes by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai in the early hours of 6 April 2024 at Grazah in Gwoza LGA of Borno State also yielded the requisite outcome. Previous intelligence had revealed that Grazah, previously known as a hideout for terrorists, was converted into a logistics storage hub and an area for fabricating their Improvised Explosive Devices and other ammunition. Recent intelligence also revealed significant terrorists’ activities consistent with terrorists’ behaviour around some makeshift structures at the location. Consequently, air interdiction was conducted at the location with Battle Damage Assessment footages and feedback received revealing several terrorists neutralized. These operations, carried out deep into terrorists’ enclaves, will continue as these areas are believed to aid their recruitment, training and nurturing of potential terrorists. Attacking their logistics hubs also help in reducing their ability to carry out massive attacks, especially on innocent civilians and troop’s location. The provision of timely information/intelligence by the populace has also been key to the successes recorded and would remain so if sustained.

AIR POWER; INDISPENSABLE COMPONENT OF MODERN WARFARE - GENERAL SHAIBU The Theatre Commander Joint Task Force (JTF) North East (NE) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Maj Gen W Shaibu, has described air power as an indispensable component of modern warfare. He made the assertion, when the @NigAirForce Commanding (AOC) Tactical Air Command (TAC) Air Vice Marshal (AVM) FO Edosa paid him a courtesy visit at Headquarters Theatre Command, Maimalari Cantonment Maiduguri, today 8 April 2024. Gen Shaibu who acknowledged the successes recorded in the ongoing onslaught against the remnants of terrorists in the theatre of operations, attributed it to the tremendous support of the air component. He noted that the feat achieved was a testament to collaboration and called for continued support to enhance operational effectiveness and success. He said if sustained, it would deny the terrorists the ability to bring fire to bear, as well as deny them freedom of action. Speaking further, Gen Waidi said the Air Component of OPHK had conducted intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as air strikes in the terrorists' enclaves across the theatre, a development which he said had degraded and weakened their capabilities. He thanked the AOC for the visit, assuring him of more synergy with the air component. He added that his (AOC) visit to the Theatre, was a boost to the operations knowing what the Theatre stood to benefit. Stating his purpose of visit earlier, the AOC AVM FO Edosa said he was in Maiduguri on an operational visit to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) formations to assess their level of readiness in support of the joint efforts of OPHK and to see how personnel of the NAF were fearing. While emphasising the significance of jointness in operations, AVM Edosa said "We must pursue jointness if we must achieve operational end state". He added that the sum of the whole was greater than individual efforts. AVM Edosa who congratulated the Theatre Commander for his appointment and thanked him for the reception, assured him of the air component's continued support and collaboration towards the success of the operation. He equally pledged to resolve the areas of challenges presented by the Theatre Commander. The visit featured a presentation quarter guard, signing of the visitor's book, presentation memento and group photographs.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE SET TO COMMEMORATE ITS 60 YEARS OF EXISTENCE Plans are underway by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to mark its 60 years of existence and steadfast service in the defence of Nigeria’s territorial integrity. The commemorative event with the theme, ‘Nigerian Air Force at 60: Leveraging Strategic Partnerships in Aerospace Innovations for Regional Security,’ is lined up with series of activities to commence from 14-25 May 2024. The high point of the celebration includes a 2-day International Conference and Exhibition, to be held alongside the Third Edition of the African Air Forces Forum, from 23-24 May 2024 at the International Conference Centre, Abuja. Here, Chiefs of Air Staff from other countries, prominent figures in the defence, aviation and aerospace industries, as well as other stakeholders are expected to grace the occasion to foster dialogue and cooperation towards advancing aviation capabilities across the continent. The pinnacle of the Anniversary celebrations will then culminate into the Ceremonial Parade and Aerial Display to be held at the NAF Base, Kaduna, on 25 May 2024. The finale will also pay special tribute to NAF’s fallen heroes, surviving veterans, as well as its unwavering dedication to serving the nation. In addition to the main events, an array of engaging activities awaits attendees, including a riveting Research & Development competition, medical outreaches, exhilarating combat sports competition, and a flying-out parade honouring some NAF senior officers who retired recently. It is important to state here that in efforts at ensuring the events meet international standards, while also saving cost, the NAF is collaborating with some esteemed partners and sponsors, both locally and internationally. The support of these partners and sponsors, no doubt, underscores a shared commitment to honouring NAF's legacy and shaping a brighter future for the defence and aviation industry in Nigeria, Africa and beyond. As the NAF embarks on this landmark celebration, the nation and the global community are invited to join in commemorating 60 years of unwavering dedication, perseverance and valour in service to the Nigerian people.
