Guys, one soilder and a military analyst on twitter just posted this...What could he be implying?

He's Excellency, the governor? Chadians? COAS?
What's your guess?

Na SF

SamuelAnyawu:


This might differ from the views of those in Borno

How?

Whyem15:


Attacks of desperation and attacks on soft targets. Cutting of garrisoned towns from supplies and so on. Especially JAS.

Shows the armed forces are hitting them hard

Valkrie:


Exactly your father's status..nonesense idiot...!!

. How senseless can you be

Valkrie:


Gerrout...!!

Dumbass

Valkrie:


And the circle continues and we see who back down...you cant come and burn down my village and kill my aged mother and not see repercussion nah...which kind government work you dey do...good thing boko have been on top of their head for more than 12 years now and that should give you an idea and their former oga even said it won't end for the next 20 years...tell me who would loose more...the more they come they more they get killed...if the army is to declassify the numbers of soldiers killed so far there would be uproar in the country...hope you know that...? That's why all is shrouded in secrecy even to report to the families of the KIA is a problem to them ..constantly shunning out lies with the hope to still keep their bloody head high...!!

The people that will lose more are the civilian population.
They do declassify the amount of soldiers killed,they even have a memorial space for them in Borno State.

motymop:


People think job creation and education is the key to end security.

Fyi, some boko haram members are educated, some studied chemistry, engineering, infact some are programmers but guess what, they are all using their skills to make bomb, hack government networks and create specialised cars for attack against the military.

Yeah

Valkrie:


And your demented brain don't know that this is not the first time the nigerian army is doing such or carrying out such nonesense..!!

Have you asked what Fela or his aged mother did that made the Nigerian army throw her to her death from a storey building?

Don't know how old you are but always sounding dumb trying hard to be politically correct and trying hard pretending to be a patriot...!!

Like I wrote..to end all these nonesense when those affected also begin to kill the commander and his family and soldiers directly involve, others would begin to have a rethink because they sure know that they would reap the consequence of their action(s)...!!!

You think killing their relatives will stop them from coming after you

Seems we got some new legion mraps

Sizzorkay:
That was the response i was talking about. Now i hope savanah reporters or whatever the fvk they are called, publish this

They probably won't

Ddream6627:
can't believe y'all still taking did with the military on this,so na everybody wey den kill take part in the killing of the nig army personnel abi,wish someone close to you was among dem definitely y'all won't be taking like this.

Did you read the defence publication on this issue? If no I advise you do so

DubaiLandLord:
The soldiers that lead the attack are English. They were deployed from England. The English soldiers shot dead Irish on Irish territory. Northern ireland is a semi autonomous country.

The British soldiers were shooting anything that moved(It seems the Nigerian army learn from them). They won't do such a thing on English soil. And I think this happened in the early 70's.

How many scottish have been shot dead when they were protesting for a referendum to be held? How many Catalonians have been shot dead by the Spanish army?

I think there is presently riots in either some scottish or Northern Irish cities because they want a referendum to be held again. I've not heard of anyone getting shot dead yet.

show us pictures of the women and children killled

The attention of the Defence Headquarters is drawn to numerous publications in the media and other online blogs reporting massive killing and destruction of houses and other property by the military in Konshisha LGA of Benue State. The Defence Headquarters which has oversight responsibility for Operation WHIRL STROKE deployed to maintain peace in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States, has deemed it necessary to refute these spurious allegations and put the records straight.

There have been incessant cases of communal clashes in recent times between the people of Konshisha and Oju over boundary demarcation. As part of efforts to resolve the crisis, the Benue State Government held series of meetings with stakeholders from both local governments with a view to arriving at amicable solution to the problem. Appreciable progress has been made and a final date fixed for all stakeholders to meet in the disputed areas to fully demarcate the boundary so that peace could reign. Trouble however started on the eve of the final meeting during Easter holiday, with reports that fresh fighting has broken out in the area.

All along, 72 Special Forces Battalion has troops deployed on the Oju side of the boundary and troops of the Battalion were on their way to replenish their colleagues on 5 April 2021, when they were attacked by armed bandits at Bonta in Konshisha. The troops who were under command of a Captain were seized at a checkpoint mounted by the so called “Bonta Boys” and taken into Konshisha forest where they were all brutally murdered. Not satisfied with killing the soldiers, the bandits proceeded to burn all the eleven soldiers and their officer beyond recognition while their weapons and ammunition were carted away. Military reinforcements were dispatched to Bonta the following morning. Unfortunately, the reinforcement also came under attack from close to 500 armed youths who by this time had fully occupied Bonta. The sheer number of youths involved in the attacks suggests that the armed bandits cannot be from Bonta alone, but were joined by bandits from other parts of Konshisha LGA. The military repelled the attack after more than 4 hours of intense fighting during which military helicopter provided close air support to ground troops. Ten armed bandits were killed during the fight with the rifle of one of the Killed in action soldiers recovered from the bandits who fell casualty during the exchange of fire.

The Defence Headquarters wish to put it on record that apart from this initial 10 bandits, there are no other civilian casualties recorded in any part of Konshisha till date. We therefore challenge anybody from Konshisha to present to the public the 200, 70 or 30 dead bodies of innocent persons, male, female or children killed by troops in Konshisha. There was never a massacre as being touted by some mischief makers.

The remnants of the armed bandits that escaped from Bonta withdrew into neighbouring villages where they kept on attacking troops as they continued with the search operation through Bonta into other parts of Konshisha. Knowing the implications of killing troops in cold blood, most of the villagers fled their homes which were then occupied by armed bandits who kept firing at troops from the settlements as they advanced into Konshisha. Troops repelled the attacks and destroyed the houses and other buildings which the criminals used as hideout for the attacks. The use of abandoned settlements by armed bandits to attack troops is popular with insurgents. The aim is to draw military fire into the dwellings and then turn round to blame soldiers for the destruction. This is common guerilla tactics armed bandit designed to whip up public sentiment against security forces and this is what played out in Konshisha. This accounts for some of the burnt houses being reported in the press. Some of the phones of the dead soldiers were also tracked to some of the settlements. We should therefore blame the armed bandits for the destruction since they used these settlements as hideout for attacks. It will be wrong to blame soldiers who are in Konshisha on legitimate duties when some of them were murdered in cold blood. Some of the buildings being paraded today were actually burnt during earlier communal clashes between Konshisha and Oju, all of which the sponsors of the mayhem are now blaming on the military.

Finally, the Defence Headquarters wishes to state that soldiers deployed to Konshisha displayed commendable restraints by adhering to the rules of engagement in the face of unprovoked attacks and therefore deserve accolades. In addition to the return of all carted away weapons, the local leaders of Konshisha must bring the main actors responsible for the mayhem to security forces to face justice. They must also surrender all other weapons in their possession. The military will not tolerate the jungle justice attitude and dastardly acts leading to the gruesome murder of patriotic soldiers on legitimate duty to keep the peace. We look forward to working with the Benue State Government in its promise to support security forces in fishing out those fomenting trouble in Konshisha. Once again, there is no massacre in Konshisha and the stories making the rounds are fabricated by bandits and their sponsors to smear the military after murdering troops in cold blood.

All the police men shooting at armless civilians are mostly disciplined if found guilty. For here, police go tell you say, I go kill you and nothing go happen.

Nigerian police is far far more worst than the US police. The FBI is far far far more efficient and more disciplined than the Nigerian police force.

I was driving on the itokin-ijebu ode expressway back in 2016 or 2017, a policeman just jump to the front of my vehicle from one hut. I almost hit the guy. He was fucking drunk, they were drinking ogogoro.

Ayam tired of all this talk... I will stand by all what have always been saying, the Nigerian army is not a professional army. There is a little difference between the way they operate and how the likes of ISWAP and Boko Haram operate.

They are all known for sorrow, tears and blood. There is no justification for what is happening in Benue.

Bye bye.

I wan go find news I go post for here

They tell you that cos they know you wont report to the appropriate authority

tutudesz:

Just like the Major General that was killed in Jos and his and other cars were discovered in that pond

Different policies for different COAS

Good news, a brave Nigerian Navy personnel, Ak Bala, who was kidnapped sometimes on 24 Feb 21, on his way to Kebbi on leave, has succefully gained his freedom. He successfully disarmed one of the kidnappers, then used his weapon to kill two of them and escaped.
@NigerianNavy

1. They ambushed the soldiers
2. They carried the bodies
3. They burnt them
These happened in a community, you can't tell me that nobody saw the guys that did it or don't know one way or the other the guys responsible.
The soldiers had to search for their buddies cos no formal report was made.
Draw your conclusion from this
One way or the other the people of that society participated

ariesbull:


I just look at them talking here and posting trash here on this forum ...all I see is but this tank, buy this gun, but this gunship buy this gunboat ...kill this amd those that are killed


The average black man think with his anus...very sentimental folks....in normal races...they deploy force only when dialogue have failed but here they deploy force before dialogue...that is what distinguishes the other races and blacks


The clowns here keep proving me right...have they even called ESN and all these guys welding guns etc for a meeting or dialogue and ask what is it that you want

I am seeing here as a place for anarchists and pyromaniacs

Nobody has called for a peaceful resolution and dialogue ? Can't we have a chat as a nation and ask for a way forward ? These are what makes one matured.

We don't need war ? We don't need fight? We need peace ? If they want to have autonomy for us to have peace . SO be it

We are loosing investors, global confidence etc due to these ! Let's eschew tribalism , what I am seeing here are tribalism


It's only here I gear crazy thing like Unity in Diversity....how can you he united still have diversity ...madness


Its crazy the way the average black man thinks...and they keep proving me right....

No wonder the black race is laughed at by other races and at lowest end of the racial pole


They are bragging buying equipments...how many have they produced? Other militaries in the world produce some of their equipments....but the black man in Nigeria will never think and go into R & D

Only gragra....it's a shame ...big shame , they are disgracing us reasonable blacks

You are foolish with all you have being writing, any small thing you say the black man, all your post has no content but bitterness

Salatavor:
Nigeria always comparing their trash with international standard... You fabricated a noisy contraption in the name of MRAP and all of a sudden you want to measure shoulder with the well established south African defense industry that has been building MRAPs since the days of the Bush war. You did movie how good was the movie? Does it appeal to emotions, does it shed a good light on the armed forces or was it just a nonsense effort at creativity.

Such a bitter soul

DubaiLandLord:
So how many KM of land is Boko Haram and ISWAP controlling in Niger republic and Chad?

Cause it seems to me Boko Haram and ISWAP are only restricted to some local government in a town there. Big ups to the chadians and Nigerien militaries.

Hope you saw what ISWAP did to the nigerien military this week bah? Keep wallowing in ignorance

Toju200:
I'm sure you've seen their recent attack on Niger army outpost..

They took alot of stuffs from them,they just restocked

Sizzorkay:
what does that even mean. You are saying there should be a coup? i doubt that will happen again in Nigeria.

No not a coup

Sizzorkay:
That's not gonna happen

Desperate measures call for desperate actions

Hoverbird:

To the hammer everything is a nail. Nigerians are very poor at learning from history, the army will only worsen things they proscribed and killed them when they were unarmed it didn't stop anything and you think a military intervention is the solution? Opening fronts all over the country when you have a full blown insurgency you can't seem to contain seem to be a genius approach. Let's see how far they will go with confrontations especially when they start attacking pipelines and the economic hub of the country.

Attack which pipelines,the south south are not rooting for you guys better fight alone

Valkrie:


If they give the sf bloody nose what would Nigeria resort to bringing forward again? Nigeria no dey learn at all...well most of the people wey go join army nah those wey dey carry last for class and that reflect the way they think and plan operations...

You dumb man, with those words after the question mark.
Who told you so? I think you need to be reeducated

Covert1:

Lol! You didn't say that ooo! Big brother watching

They have been and are still watching but something has to be done,if not we might just become another Libya

KingAzubuike:

Those are different from what's presently going on with IPOB and ESN. In Zaki biam for example, it was a retaliation for the killing of about 19 soldiers by a militia group. What's happening today involving ESN is no agitation against the military. They got no business with the military, what they have business with is the fulanis and their rampaging herdsmen killing people on another man's soil. Biafra can't just sit and watch, that's why they set up ESN just like oduwa republic set up Amotekun. The ESN aren't killing Nigerian soldiers and will never commit such heinous atrocity.

If ESN are not the ones committing this atrocities then who?

Covert1:


God forbid. Back to the stone age. We are here today because of that nonsense. As bad as it is democracy has faired Nigeria better the down side is it has allowed agitators of every stripe and hue exacerbated by clueless politicians.

Someone will have to take charge and operate with a blind eye

I think we are about to get a free ticket to military regime again

DubaiLandLord:
Is Gumi not saying the Government should negotiate with the armed fulani heardsmen and bandits? Did the FG invite Boko Haram for negotiation or not? Did the FG under Yardua grant amnesty to MEND? Did the FG under GMB negotiate with Avengers?

Well, let's watch the Nigerian military crush the unknown Gunmen in the south east then

What are the bargaining chip of the south east ? Nah we the people of that area go suffer the effect

DubaiLandLord:
Did Diezani stole any money meant for the purchase of Arms? There is no where in my post I talked about Diezani. Maybe you can show me sha.

So you don't know how Nigerian army disperse crowds go and ask the shiites or you can watch a video of Nigerian army dispersing shiites members in Abuja.

Where those guys shot at when the army arrived? Every soldier down south should still retain the skills they use in the north cos it is about to become useful again.
Any one caught as ESN or IPOB should be treated the same way Boko haram and ISWAP are being treated. Treat them as terrorist. No pov

DubaiLandLord:
What are you trying to say? Cause I am not understanding you.

Sample as it is anyone killed is a victim of the war regardless
