From the above that is Sambo Dasuki sitting with his family as he was released yesterday from custody. Can the Dasuki family please carry out a DNA test on the man released to them please? Some may claim he is Dansaki from Futa Jalon. Do we see why social media needs to be regulated? These people like Farooq Kperogi live outside Nigeria and will comfortably set this country ablaze with their fake news and attempts at inciting the public to violence because the danger will not get to them when it starts 4 Likes |

Farooq Kperogi made a very bold but false declaration that Buhari has murdered Dasuki. This was said before the last elections. Now that Dasuki has been released ALIVE if Farooq gets arrested for incitement and defamation of Mr President would we all be crying Democracy is in danger or Freedom of speech?

| Foreign Affairs › Army Officer Returns Home To San Diego To Say Bye To Mom Before Her Deportation by ColonelEmeka(op): 8:46am On Dec 25, 2019 |
SAN DIEGO — The Cruz family’s home on Thursday evening could have been the scene of any family reunited for the holiday season. The grandchildren played in the yard with their uncle, an Army officer who had returned home that morning. The grandmother doted on the youngest, a toddler. The air inside her home’s newly erected wooden fence echoed their laughter. But mixed in with the joy of togetherness was the knowledge that right after the holidays, the family matriarch, Rocio Rebollar Gomez, 50, will have to leave the United States. Rebollar Gomez is waiting for a miracle, her only remaining option after all legal avenues for keeping her in the United States have been exhausted. But she believes it will come before Immigration and Customs Enforcement requires her to leave the country on Jan. 2. “The only gift that we want this year is for Grandma to be here,” Rebollar Gomez said in Spanish. Meanwhile, her son Gibram Cruz, 30, will spend about three days at home from his post in Arizona as an Army intelligence officer. He arrived last week at the San Diego airport to a swarm of hugs and tears where his family waited for him at the curb. He will not have any more time off over the holidays to be with his family, including his mother’s birthday on Sunday. “I’m here essentially to say goodbye to my mom,” he said. Mikayel Israyelyan is now a successful L.A. businessman. But as a boy in Soviet-controlled Armenia, desperate times taught him to be clever, scrappy and grateful. Those same characteristics were also key to his survival here. Because he is an intelligence officer, the process for him to get permission to travel outside the U.S. for personal reasons is long and complicated, he said, which will make it difficult for him to visit his mother after her deportation. Rebollar Gomez tried applying for a special program that protects family members of U.S. military personnel while they serve, but that program is discretionary, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denied the request at the beginning of December. When that happened, ICE informed Rebollar Gomez she would have to leave the United States in January. USCIS has declined to comment on the case. “The immigration laws of the United States allow an alien to pursue relief from removal; however, once they have exhausted all due process and appeals, they remain subject to a final order of removal from an immigration judge and that order must be carried out,” ICE said. Rebollar Gomez’s attorney, Tessa Cabrera, asked ICE for discretion, and several members of Congress have told the family they would do the same. So far, ICE has maintained its order that Rebollar Gomez must leave. “Right now the case is in ICE’s hands,” Cabrera said. “We’re waiting for a miracle. There’s not more that I can do as an attorney to help her.” Though she has no criminal history, Rebollar Gomez’s immigration history is complicated. She first came to the U.S. in 1988. In the mid-'90s, she was picked up in an immigration raid at the hotel where she worked when she was about seven months pregnant with her youngest daughter and found herself back in Mexico that same day. With two children who needed her in the U.S., she quickly returned, crossing illegally again into the country. She was removed from the United States again twice in the mid-2000s. ICE confirmed the details of Rebollar Gomez’s immigration history. “Ms. Rebollar is currently pending departure to Mexico in accordance with federal law,” said Lauren Mack, spokeswoman for the agency. The memory of immigration officials coming to the family home on a Saturday morning to take his mother away still haunts Cruz, who was in high school at the time. He remembers becoming homeless during the ordeal. Each time she’s been sent back, Rebollar Gomez has returned to her children and rebuilt her life here. She managed to buy a house again a couple of years ago that she’s been slowly fixing up the way she wants it. After college, Cruz gave up a dream of going to law school to enlist in the Army. He hoped that gesture of service to the U.S. would mean that the country would allow his mother to stay. When she was detained again by ICE in 2018, around the same time that his four years was up, he decided to take a commission and remain in the military. “I joined to serve the country and keep my family safe,” Cruz said in Cabrera’s office. “Now, I’m facing dangers here on my home front.” Cruz and his two sisters are grappling with how to prepare logistically for Rebollar Gomez’s deportation. She is afraid to return to Acapulco, her hometown in Mexico, because of the cartel violence that has overtaken the city. In 2018, Acapulco had the third highest number of homicides in Mexico and the highest homicide rate of the country’s 10 most violent cities, higher even than Tijuana, according to a University of San Diego report. That violence has already touched Rebollar Gomez’s family. Her brother was abducted by a cartel, and though the family paid thousands of dollars in extortion money for his return, his body has never been found. The family is worried that Rebollar Gomez’s ties to the U.S., and particularly to the military, will make her a target. “She would be an easy paycheck for them,” Cruz said of the cartels. “How am I supposed to keep her safe?” Rebollar Gomez has refused to talk about the what-ifs with her family; but by Thursday evening, she acknowledged that she would have to follow God’s plan for her, whatever that may be. “It’s worth it,” she said, sitting in her yard watching her family. “The life of our children is worth it. All the sacrifices are worth it. When you see your children here, well, studying, and you look back, you see it was worth it.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-12-23/army-officer-returns-home-deportation Mynd44, Lalasticlala |

The terrorists have made the entire Sambisa very unpredictable due to the presence of a lot of mines. However clearance is a daily occurrence.

https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Brig.-Gen.-Onyema-Nwachukwu.png The Boko Haram insurgents no longer operate on the Nigerian soil, according to the Defence Headquarters (DHQ). Its spokesman Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu said the insurgents had been pushed to the Tombus Islands on the fringes of Lake Chad. “Boko Haram is not occupying any part of this country,” he said in reference to a claim attributed to Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum that Boko Haram was occupying two local government areas in the state. Gen. Nwachukwu said: “I want to make it clear that Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP) have been defeated and pushed into what we call the Tombus Islands. “These are the islands between Nigeria and neighboring countries of Niger and Chad, where they have their enclave and from where they come out and carry out attacks on soft targets. Boko Haram is not holding any inch of the country.” On the activities of the joint operations coordinated by the DHQ, he said there were five of them. They are Operation Safe Haven, Operation Hadarin Daji, Operation Thunder Strike, Operation Whirl Stroke and Operation Delta Safe. The DHQ spokesman said activities by the operations had increased across the country in the last three months, resulting in what he called tremendous achievements. Gen. Nwachukwu said Leah Sharibu had not been rescued because troops were cautious not to put her and other captives in greater danger. Sharibu is one of the 109 schoolgirls abducted on February 19, 2018 by insurgents at the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, in Yobe State. Others were freed but Sharibu was held back by the insurgents for allegedly refusing to denounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam. Christian leaders in the North under the aegis of the Northern States Christian Elders Forum (NOSCEF) on Sunday appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to secure her freedom as Christmas gift But Gen. Nwachukwu assured that the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole were working tirelessly to ensure that Sharibu and other persons still in Boko Haram captivity were rescued alive. He said: “Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have been treading cautiously because these people are all in the hands of terrorists and any reckless move may result in their annihilation by the terrorists just to ward off the troops. It is a very complex and risky operation but the troops are working day and night to ensure that they are rescued.” Under Operation Delta Safe (OPDS), Nwachukwu disclosed that the troops averted 64 attempted infractions on Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) pipelines. He added that the troops also arrested 27 suspected militants/pirates, recovered nine AK47 riffles with 755 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. According to him, OPDS also embarked on rigorous anti-kidnapping operations, resulting in the rescue of over 43 victims and arrest of four kidnaapping He said that troops under Operation Hadarin Daji in Zamfara State and its environ arrested 389 suspected bandits, 48 suspected kidnappers and rescued 1,048 kidnap victims within the period under review. Gen. Nwachukwu said the troops also recovered 5,567 rustled cattle, 2,499 sheep, 973 goats, 15 camels and 14 donkeys. Other items recovered from the bandits, he said, were 58 AK-47 rifles, five G3 riffles, five FN riffles, seven pump action guns and 95 locally-made guns. Others are three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 12,803 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, 100 rounds of cartridges and 128 magazines. He explained that Operation Whirl Stroke was initiated to address the herders/farmers and communal clashes in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba. The spokesman added that troops of Operation Whirl Stroke conducted over 32 offensive operations against armed herdsmen, militia gangs and suspected kidnapping camps in the last three months. He explained that the troops destroyed 82 kidnappers’ makeshift camps, arrested over 266 bandits, one illegal arm manufacturer and three gunrunning kingpins and recovered 217 assorted assault weapons and 4,201 rounds of ammunition. According to him, efforts of Operation Whirl Stroke also paved the way for 266,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to return to their ancestral homes. https://thenationonlineng.net/boko-haram-no-longer-operating-in-nigeria-says-defence-hqrts/ Mynd44, Lalasticlala |
