I said what I said,they should try it,I bet you would count their dead bodies

Amen bro, Amen...we all desire same..

With the location of the State C.I.D, Prison and Govt house we would have thought it impossible to attack that location crawling with DSS, police men and almost all services. Yet, we are seeing a very successful operation carried out, done and dusted..

DubaiLandLord:
Una never dey learn anything

Before Boko Haram madness, nah so most Nigerians go dey talk say Nigerians are busy searching for money, so dem no fit get all this suicide bombers or terrorists on our territory.

Didn't people say super camps can't be attacked?

Didn't people usually say the Nigerian army is the best in Africa

You're in Nigeria, anything is possible.

Most times you wish those at the top hierarchy have the same passion as the ordinary Nigerian... My brother, watch and see the soon to be madness.

DubaiLandLord:
Though the SE geopolitical region have a small land mass, but is still large. It won't be easy as you're saying it. The best is for the FG to find a way to calm down the unknown gunmen doing this trash.

Let's negotiate with them.

Another group go rise sha, but we can and yet fix the rot.

I wish we could seat on the table and discuss way forward....these men were chanting "bullet na water".. meaning they were Jazzed up. I see Abia State, Rivers state suffering same fate...


No prior intelligence on this attack at the very heart of the city..my guy, we dey live by God's grace....
We can use technology to beat back this stupidity, How can one reach the police force? The Army or DHQ's..how??

tutudesz:
NPF is the major reason we are facing different security challenges round the country. Police that can't handle area boys without the Military help

Their leadership killed them, looting their little allowance dry, allowing their subordinates to beg before they could feed, where is the minister of police affairs? State minister of police affairs?, where is minister of interior?, where is the most useless Police service commission?, where is IGP? and the government overlooked all the madness...My God, Nigeria has grown beyond having peace. let's face it, it would only get worse. I pray to be able to wake up to as much bad news without feeling hurts and pained.

upko:
The funny thing is that entire area is crawling with police, dss, civil defense, army, prisons and even road safety.

How exactly did a bunch of miscreants possibly numbering less than 80 successfully carry out this attack unchallenged?
This is the height!

You don't know the Nigerian Police force, they have been so useless for long, the decay is only Just coming out, we need a leadership right now in Nigeria, Nigeria might not survive 2023 .


I keep asking, where the Bleep is the IGP?! These man's incompetence would ruin us, he has shown little concerned for his men, why are our leaders cursed?!

Imo state police command attacked and burned, Nigeria Prison correction facility bursted into Prisoners freed in Imo state. .The Nigerian Police force is a joke...

Army Barracks might be next.... This is a phycological booster to every ESN unit out there, "If Imo could do it, then we can".....May God help us.

Imo state police command attacked and burner last Nigeria, Nigeria Prison correction facility bursted into Prisoners freed in Imo state. .The Nigerian Police force is a joke...

MrSuama:
Very interesting.

It's painful to know many people cashed out on GEJ.

He was under unimaginable pressure sponsored by a selfish demonic political opposition. What further worsen his position were his advisers..

BREAKING: Missing jet: Nigerian Airforce finally reacts to Boko Haram video
The Nation NigeriaApr 2, 2021 8:09 PM

The Nigerian Air Force has dismissed claims by terror group Boko Haram that it gunned down the missing Alpha jet, which disappeared from radar on Wednesday, March 31.



Boko Haram claimed responsibility for downing the aircraft in a viral video.

But the Director Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said the viral video could be clips from a previous incident.

He insisted the video is fraught with inconsistencies that established it was fake, adding the lush vegetation in one of the videos suggest it was not in the Northeast.



NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said: “We have seen some videos but there is nothing that has proven that the aircraft in those clips belongs to us, or have you seen a Nigerian Air Force aircraft number or the body of Air Force pilot or have you seen any Air Force unifor until we get all these details strengthen out, we are not going to go into speculation.

“That video could have been shot somewhere. I have seen four videos so far, one of them has lush vegetation in the background, and I wonder where they have such vegetation in the Northeast. Unless they did something and they are releasing the clips bit by bit, we are waiting.

“Except we have evidence, because like I said, these persons have families and you cannot go their wives, parents or wards, you must bring concrete evidence. There must be something to show”.

What's up with this

From that explosion, those pilots don't stand chance!!

willybaby:
such a stupid question, do bandits carry signs saying am a bandit, if a civilian is killed by the military Na still your type go shout the military is too alert

Let's be real have you seen a policeman being serious before?? how many times do you see a policeman being serious before?? for how many times have you seen them before been serious?

Toju200:
yeah they carry side arms...

Seems no ISR was available for this mission...So many suggestions and thoughts in my head...

I trust the NAF to find them quickly.

SamuelAnyawu:
Hmmmmmmm

Baba, wetin dey sup?

Chai, car killed him.

JOSCOFELIX:
good morning thread. i will be leaving the thread. but my critic should mark my word on the heavy weight jet. iswap have plan a major attack on two to three location at once but the 72 moblie strike force will do God work on them. the offensive two have begin since last week monday. mrap, mbt , cameroon bir will be in the operation. according to what i heard the navy have been patroling the lake chad which have affected there supply. good bye friend

Bro, let's talk over email if you don't mind
salgadopenny40@gmail.com

SamuelAnyawu:
Exactly. I was not really happy that this offensive started in Southern Borno. The real war is in Central and Northern Borno.

In My current location JAS last attacked in 2018. In fact aside Damboa I am not sure JAS has attacked any major military formatio non since 2019 in Southern Borno.

This Offensive should have started in Northern Borno Lake Chad Axis where the die hard ISWAP operates. Imagine carrying out an offensive in Southern and ISWAP is dislodging personnel in Marte and Dikwa.

We should start the major offensive immediately in Northern Borno abeg time no Dey before something terrible happens soon from the Intel we got.

May God continually bless our Gallant men

Boss, One issue we have is our very porous border's, funny enough no one says a thing about it..
Just yesterday I think a gun runner was caught along Kaduna-Abuja road, and he was killed. His phone should be investigated for contacts of his cronies....I wish we had courageous and smart minds bias of political manipulation in the security architecture, who would damn consequences and do the right things.

SamuelAnyawu:
An INTEL said they are planning a very massive attack. My Organisation that has over 25 staff are pulling out 23 between this week and next.

They wanna leave me on ground as my position means I’ll always be the last to be pulled out Pulling me out means we are closing our structures entirely.

Shouldn't it be nice to hit them anywhere now?

OPENING ADDRESS BY THE CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF LT GEN IBRAHIM ATTAHIRU AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE COMBINED COAS FIRST QUARTER CONFERENCE AND NIGERIAN ARMY OPERATIONS RETREAT 2021 HELD AT ARMY HEADQUARTERS COMMAND OFFICERS’ MESS ASOKORO ABUJA ON 29 MARCH 2021

1. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Army Headquarters Command Officers’ Mess, Abuja for the combined Chief of Army Staff First Quarter Conference and the Nigerian Army Operations Retreat 2021. As my maiden conference since assuming command as the Chief of Army Staff on 28 January 2021, this event offers ample opportunity: for us to brainstorm and interact on the state of affairs of the Nigerian Army, review our activities for first quarter 2021 while also planning for our training and operational commitments in the Second Quarter of the Year.

2. As you are well aware, I and my colleagues the other Service Chiefs took over command of our respective Services at a very critical period when the nation is facing daunting security challenges characteristic of a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment. This was rightly highlighted by the Commander in Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, during his first meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs. During the meeting, the President gave us marching orders to decisively deal with all security challenges facing the country.

3. In line with the President’s directive and my intent to rebuild the Nigerian Army into a formidable force, I conceived the vision of having “A Nigerian Army that is Repositioned to Professionally Defeat all Adversaries in Joint Environment.” To breathe life into this vision, I released my Philosophy of Command which has Readiness, Capacity, Continuous Leadership Development and Duty to Country as cardinal pillars. Readiness entails mission-oriented training, functional manning and equipping while Capacity will be built on the dependability of the Nigerian Army to accomplish any mission in line with norms enshrined in our core values and ethics. Continuous leadership development on its own will ensure that the Nigerian Army continues to roll out innovative 21st century commanders and of course Duty to Country entails loyalty and sacrifice to our fatherland. As formation commanders and Principal Staff Officers, your role is critical to the attainment of my vision. Therefore, I implore all of you to immediately key into the vision so that together, we can take the Nigerian Army to greater heights.

4. I am particularly pleased with the initiative to hold the Nigerian Army Operations Retreat as part of the First Quarter Conference after so many years. You will agree with me, that the retreat provides a platform to reassess the threat environment and review our operations with a view to identifying gaps that could be addressed in the planning and conduct of future operations. In this regard, I want to state that the Nigerian Army under my watch will remain resolute in decisively dealing with any threat confronting the country. Hence, I have directed that serious attention must be given to sustaining and improving the tempo in all ongoing Nigerian Army operations across the country. Commanders must therefore glean from my Command Philosophy to ensure that operational and administrative proficiencies of Nigerian Army formations and units are sustained and improved upon

5. I am aware of logistics constraints affecting operations across the country and I am glad to inform you that the President, Commander in Chief has pledged to continue to support the Nigerian Army. As I speak, we will soon be receiving combat enablers that would enhance and boost our operations. Concerted effort is also being made to eliminate the threat of improvised explosive devices which has been a major impediment to troops and our operations in OP LAFIYA DOLE. Again, in order to increase our operational capabilities, I have approved the purchase of spare parts and directed that all damaged and unserviceable equipment in the theatre be back loaded for immediate repairs

6.[b]I want to assure you that I am determined in rebuilding the fighting skills, capacity, confidence and morale of our troops across the various theatres of operations. In order to achieve this, my top priorities for the second and third quarters of the year would be training. I will ensure that through functional training, officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army are equipped with the right competences and skills to effectively undertake daring missions in addition to developing special operations forces. This would be closely followed by procurement that ensures appropriate kitting and provision of protective gear, weapons, equipment and platforms. Administration is a key principle of war, hence troops’ welfare will also be given paramount attention. Let me however remind you all, that while no effort will be spared in achieving these goals, it is command responsibility to ensure the sustenance and maintenance of all equipment while measures must be emplaced to ensure sound administration of troops and their families.[/b]

7. At this juncture, let me appreciate all the officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their unrelenting sacrifice and efforts in ensuring that the Nigerian Army fulfils its constitutional responsibilities. However, as the saying goes, the only easy day was yesterday, as such, I will continue to demand that you redouble your efforts so that we can decisively deal with our adversaries or any group or person that threatens. The peace and stability of our great nation. So doing, we will achieve our end state of ensuring a peaceful and stable Nigeria. I will also be using this conference and the operations retreat to unveil my strategic plan for the year 2021, where I will be giving very clear directives of what I expect from all of you. Therefore, I expect to see directives emanating from these events and subsequently from Army headquarters translate immediately into proactive courses of action that will find solutions and deal with our numerous security challenges

8. At this point, I wish to humbly convey my gratitude to the President, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari (Grand Commander of the Federal Republic) for his unrelenting support to the Nigerian Army. I want to use this platform to again pledge my unalloyed loyalty and that of every officer and soldier of the Nigerian Army to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to the President Commander in Chief.

9. Once again, I welcome all the participants, especially our esteem guests and retired senior colleagues whom we have specially invited in order to glean from their wealth of experience. I am convinced that at the end of this conference and the operations retreat, we would have a road map that will address the threats facing the country.

10. On this note, it is my honour and privilege to declare the Combined Chief of Army Staff First Quarter Conference and Nigerian Army Operations Retreat 2021 open.

11. Thank you and God bless.

JOSCOFELIX:
according to what i heard they said they naf have over 3o helicopter and the army avaiation should given the remaining 6. but they have not decised.

Nigeria Airforce needs every attack helicopter available, have you noticed most times only one helicopter goes on a mission? It shouldn't be so, but this is due to insufficient platforms for operations. We need more for NAF not less...

IPOB Members arrested for unprovoked killings of security operatives
NigeriaPoliceForce Mar 28, 2021 10:06 AM
• No murderer will go unpunished…we are closing up on them, says IGP. Ok





Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested sixteen (16) suspects for complicity in a series of violent and unprovoked attacks on security operatives and facilities in some states of the Federation, particularly in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. The arrest, which is an outcome of painstaking, deliberate and tireless efforts by operatives of the Nigeria Police working in collaboration with their counterparts from the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Airforce is aimed at bringing to justice persons responsible for the emerging trend of attacks on security personnel and wanton destruction of security facilities and operational assets. 



The suspects - Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, 28-year-old native of Arochukwu LGA in Abia State; Raphael Idang, 31-year-old native of Odukpani LGA of Cross River state; Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka ‘Alewa’, 60-years-old native of Orlu in Imo State; Michael Uba, 33yrs from Imo State; and twelve (12) others in the course of investigation, were implicated in multiple felonies committed across several states in the South-Eastern part of the Federation. The suspects were arrested in various parts of the country following sustained, and intelligence-driven sting operations. 

Police investigations clearly established and linked the suspects to several incidents of attacks and murder of security personnel as well as stealing, unlawful possession of firearms, arson and malicious damage to operational assets of military and law enforcement agents.





Specifically, investigations revealed that the duo of Ugochukwu Samuel aka Biggy and Raphael Idang were among the criminal elements that attacked policemen on duty at a checkpoint on 24th December, 2020 along Orlu-Ihiala Road in Imo state where two police officers were killed and a Police Hilux patrol van set ablaze. In addition, both were part of a larger group that attacked a police reconnaissance team on 13th January, 2021 killing one police officer. Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, who sustained a bullet wound during an attack by his gang on a military convoy in which some soldiers were killed and weapons carted away, was subsequently arrested while receiving treatment in a hospital. Both suspects confessed to being active members of IPOB and ESN. 

Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa, a pastor with the Holy Blessed Trinity Sabbath Church, Orlu, Imo State and Michael Uba, a prophet with the Association of Jewish Faith, who were also arrested, are two of the masterminds of the various attacks on security personnel, in addition to providing spiritual cover for the gang. Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa’s house was used by the gang members to plan their nefarious operations. He also donated his late brother’s farmland for use as a hideout and training camp for the gang. 




A total of nine (9) AK47 rifles, five (5) other sophisticated firearms, seventeen (17) AK47 Magazines, 549 AK47 live ammunition, 10 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), camouflage bullet proof vests, walkie talkies and other incriminating items were recovered from the suspects. 

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has reiterated that the Force will not tolerate any further attack on its personnel or any citizen by any individual or group under any guise whatsoever. He assures that Law Enforcement Agents have gathered sufficient intelligence on the attackers and are closing up on scores of suspects already implicated in the attacks either directly or indirectly for financing, aiding and abetting the criminals. He stresses that no murderer will go unpunished. The IGP enjoins parents/guardians as well as traditional/opinion leaders to weigh in and prevail on their children/wards to desist from towing the destructive paths of crime. 

All the suspects will be charged to

I don't believe this...Those guns are in the forest surrounded by more men... those guns are life to ESN rn.
