Is this Proforce new APCs design
Each state can support the military with 2 units each.

10 per state donation is more like it.

The governors can afford it and the Army gets a decent sized fleet of badly needed armored mobility.

Most important question.......at which airport did this happen?

Make we know whether na drugs or smuggling

GeneralFarouq:
Patrolling solely with holstered weapons though not without it's advantage is a bad idea..
Imagine a situation where u get pinned down and can't get to the vehicle... Obviously u are toasted since u cannot return fire with pistol which is likely to be out of range of engaging enemy forces...

I referred specifically to police operations for holstered weapons sir.

Maybe I could be clearer and say police operations in Urban areas.

Poor planning and implementation killed it before it was even born

tutudesz:
Saw this lovely picture on a friend phone

All NGA troops should be kitted like this!

With rifle lockers in vehicles for the Police, so foot patrol is done only with holstered weapon

mkoabiola:
By now he shouldn't b more than a LT colonel

His rank was influenced.

He was course 42

Many senior officers have been retired due to the changes in Service Chiefs.

If I remember well he was shot as a Lt Colonel about 5 years ago.

So Brigadier is not too senior for him based on these circumstances.

My sister this government wanna kill us......na high prices never gree Dangote finish refinery so o

Na wah for misbehave and indiscipline

Action Gomina!

Nice one Pontius Pilate.

Muumy G.O is the new flavour.

I hope she doesn't become a god of men when the fame overplenty o

jl115:
to much damage... That's a write of bru

It's designed to absorb such punishment, if not worse.

As someone said, with all parts and skills available, a week should see this bad boy on patrol again!

Thank God for life !
Look at what my boys survived today in the N.E theatre today.

Pics like this are why we have been screaming no more Hilux in theatre for more than 5 years now.

Alhamdullilah for their lives!

Issa global disgrace that we cannot protect that project BEFORE completion.

What will then happen if it does ever get completed and commissioned?

On a positive note, I hope these kidnappings will dissuade the Chinese from importing even crane and truck driver from their country.

Not Yoruba but situations like this are why I love those people.

Risky Bob can never try this with his father, unless he wanna be fatherless ASAP.

ProfCaspian:
I think they copied this from Trump's security. Doesn't fit most of them. It makes them look like unknown gunmen

Don't say what you don't know.

Trench coats have been around Nigerian close protection forces, at least since the days of Strike Force under Gen Abacha I am sure.

ocelot2006:
Another question for the house: since when did the DSS make a downgrade firearm-wise to the AK-47 with fold stocks? I ask because of 2 observations. (1)During MNK's first trial, some DSS agents were armed with AK-47s. (2)In a recent event in Akwa Ibom State, ALL the Governor's counter-assault team members were armed with AK-47 assault rifles with foldstocks concealed in their signature black trench coats. And I mean good ole AKs with basic wooden furniture, no piccantily rails or optics? Why? I thought the DSS got the very best when it comes to assault rifles. But now even the Prison Service has rifles. What's happening?


Oh, and why the black trenchcoats, especially with our hot weather? Dustin powder is expensive o .

Of course the Service has AK47s in armory.

As the most common automatic infantry weapon in the world, it only makes sense to have some, even if just for training and familiarity.

This is just like asking if the USA have AK47s in their numerous armouries.

As for use on DSS operations, I leave it to those who know more to answer you.

I always wondered about the trench coats too, but seeing as the local alternative is Agbada, it's kinda obvious why they chose the coats.

Rest in Peace Father......may your sins on this earth be forgiven and your soul granted eternal rest.

Akwamkpuruamu:
It's normal naa! Nigeria is gone. I bought a KG of gas today for #800 in owerri.

Thunder fire Buhari.

Let him please return back our corruption. Enough of this his integrity

I bought 12.5kg in Abuja today for 9k.

Bring back our corruption Mai Gasikya, Dan Allah!!

All except PVC.

2022 will correct that sha

tutudesz:
This is the real definition of Procurement

And they bought with spare parts. Real correct procurement!

Defenceweb carried the story as unknown African country

Roan77:
It's seems the Nigeria Army has finally settled with the Bigfoot MRAPs.
100 bigfoot MRAPs, and 100 piece of the Dongfeng MRAPs.
A good number, I must confess.

Walahi dem try for this one.......real early Christmas.

Can't wait for the real presents!

Lurker4Long:
I'm not sure the issue is mainly one of productivity and waste. For the size of your economy, it seems to me that your tax collection is in serious need of repair.

Louder please...........it's sad that Nigerians, and I speak as one, on the giving and receiving end of the tax system don't accept that they are under taxed and under managing received taxes respectively.

This is the result of a long term trust erosion between the two, that only an honest and sincere government can fix.

Rant over.

I hear that Dogo Gide is down.

Overheard mess gist so not 100%

Odunayow:
For the Chairborne Generals

I know people from our establishments are here.

Please, can we adopt this model of procurement and reduce the cost of arms.

This will also reduce unemployment while simplifying and modernising our assault weapon stocks

SamuelAnyawu:
Nobody wan do Amir again

Aswear. E don red

General LEO Irabor, e be like say na under your watch Nigerians go really understand the use of DHQ.

Relentless pressure ops like this can only happen with a properly coordinated tri service, as our military is stuctured.

DHQ don turn ISWAP Amir to death license.

Shout out to our service chiefs for cooperating as well.

Economist, I hope una dey see this one record.

Whyem15:
It was reported that ISWAP constructed about 2000 boats for the purpose of fishing and patrolling those waters, the vast majority of those fishing in the lake Chad Islands are ISWAP members or at least work for the terror organization. The government has banned fishing in that part of the state and anyone still fishing in the lake is committing an offense. Government has every right to enforce the ban. There are other towns where such activities are allowed for example baga town.

And then the attacks does not necessarily have to be on humans, the airforce could go after the boats being used for such activities during the hours they are not being used and are beached or moored

Agreed

BlackBaron:
I thought maybe use of 'palisade fences' might work out for the whole stretch of the tracks with CCTV at intermittent positions assuming electricity wasn't a problem.

Or if this is going to keep becoming a security issue, time to go for TBMs and start doing the tracks underground.

Even worse security wise.

It's a nightmare to defend a tunnel in advanced nations, never mind in this our wahala.

DubaiLandLord1:
Yes

It would be unfair to question the current set IMO.

Rather a Board of Inquiry into the administration of our longest serving service chiefs i.e the immediate past set should be looked into.
