look,,,if they are realy fighting for a reason...why are they kidnaping and killing innocent people....shouldnt they be fighting the fg directly than punishing civilians...abegu,you can not defend them,the way they act.....

You are completely confused about your assertions, I'm in support of the Air Force and the FG. Check the first comment on this thread.

I would implore anyone staying in Calabar, to come out here to confirm if there is any Bombings as of Friday 19 to Saturday 20 June 2015. I will only welcome post from ppl staying in Calabar. it's time we put an end to these lies.
yes there was a face off between the militants and the police at Marina But no Bombings.

we can find the contracts of universities, businesses that are in Calabar online, pls call those contracts and confirm and let's put these lies to rest.

I reside in Calabar, I go to work everyday. Calabar is too small for any bombings that will not affect the public.

PLS DO YOUR FINDINGS BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT

Ignore the trouble makers OP. Only the hideouts of the criminals were targeted in the air-raid along the waterways of Calabar. This is according to the Commander of the operation Air Commodore Charles Owoh, as I do not reside in Calabar.

Thanks for clarifying this and hopefully we get more accounts from those on the ground.

tsdarkside:
i dont care,what you are ranting about...criminals=criminals...period...dont care weather they are in the north,east,south or west.....KILL THEM ALL!!!

Perhaps you're mistaken, thats the position I hold as well, the futility of any ill-thought violent reactions to the bombing of the criminals is what was being emphasized. It's therefore clear which post amounts to a rant.

phreakabit:
The message is clear. . . Time to kill the Southerners.
Make them no just bring that leg come "our" side sha. .
If they think the North is volatile, they will see volatility on steroids!
Wallahi!

And who will pay for it? Who's lands and rivers will be further destroyed? Whose schools will be closed down? Whose children will be displaced in refugee camps? Whose economy will be further destroyed? Whose fishes will be completely killed from the spills of bombed pipelines? Are you going to fight the war in Zamfara?

'Volatility on steroids' is not good for you. Think clearly.

hansad:
And you believe that those asking for increased percentage from the resources from their back yard can be stopped by bombing.

It is as good as hoping to use bombings to stop your increasing desire to extend sharia criminal justice system and Islam to all of Nigeria.
Boko Haram says it's fighting for a country governed by sharia criminal justice system.

12 northern states since 2001 adopted use of sharia criminal justice system. Figure it out.

Quit pretending to be silly. First of all branding criminals that have been proven with evidence to kill, rob and rape innocent Nigerians as freedom fighters is not just foolish but counter-productive because no one will take your struggle seriously.

Second of all, Sharia which is in the constitution by the way, was implemented in 2001 way before BH emerged, so your argument sir, is baseless and lacks merit.

BrosPeter:
Boko haram have become bolder recently we'd also like to see this show of force on the terrorist.

In due time.

BrosPeter:
So the best thing is to bomb them? Where in the world do Airforce bomb kidnappers? Why are they not bombing Ogun state?


This is retaliation because we didn't vote APC, this would only increase militancy. Lets watch where this ends.

It wasn't just a fight against kidnappers, but a show of force against the militants in view of their increasing activities, this is why a helicopter gunship was used. Increased militancy will be met with increased fire-power.

baralatie:
I don't know about stock piling arms but I do know that the security status and approach needs a serious media campaign against the return of militancy or criminality in cross river and ND.

According to the report, the militants carted away a large cache of weapons, blend that with the clamour for secession and you're left with a recipe for disaster. I strongly believe they were stockpiling arms considering the reported amount carted away.

prettyboi1:
Absolutely clear head you got on your neck...great thinker.

Thanks for your kind words sir.

hansad:
Fake reasons.

Police action, not bombing, is required to stop such crimes as kidnap for ransom and other illegal activities stated by Owoh.

The real reason for the bombing of south south is sending coded message to militants in the South south that they should beware, else, they face the same bombings.

Regional government system with fiscal federalism should have stooped Boko Haram and militancy in oil producing areas.

Of course. The militants attacked a police station killing two policemen, and then looted the weapons in the whole armoury yet you want police action to be used against militants?

Please be honest.

Nnamdi Kanu is another threat to national security that should be addressed.

abdulrazat:
Why not use it on Book haram? You guys are ready to flush out criminals but when it comes to terrorists you remember they are your brothers and civilians could be hurt. I don't support such actions.

Check my first post, the fight against BH is on.

These boys were clearly stockpiling arms to create chaos and cause the loss of innocent lives and property. This decisive action will let them know things are no longer the same, and criminals will not be treated with kid gloves under this administration.

Some fellow young Nigerians actually went as far as posting fake pictures and stories of the attack on the militants to create bad blood for President Buhari.

and were caught red-handed.

I don't understand how everyone can see the efforts PMB is putting in, in the fight against BH yet some people deliberately pretend the armed forces have completely ignored BH and are facing Calabar.

1. Relocation of the command centre

2. The composition of the MNJTF and establishment of their headquarters

3. The commitment of $100 million to fight the terrorists.

4. The release of $21 million already for the fight.

5. The donation of $5 million from the U.S alongside technical and weapons support.

6. The commitment of the G7 to eliminating the terrorists.

While there is clearly a brief transitional lull in the actual fight which makes the terrorists appear to be winning, it should be appreciated that the aforementioned are crucial and vital for a solid foundation for dealing the blood suckers a final fatal blow. Fighting the militants does not translate into stopping the fight against BH, allowing such criminals to fester in the first place is what balloons into problems like BH.

All militants, kidnappers, and demented elements that think they can threaten Nigerians should either make good their threats, repent, or embrace the Hell-fire from the air.

Reason We Attacked Militants Hideout In Calabar - Air Commodore Owoh

The 207 Special Mobility Group of the Nigerian Air Force in Calabar has carried out air raids on hideouts of criminal elements on Calabar waterways, the Commander, Charles Ohwo, has said.

Ohwo, an Air Commodore, said Thursday in Calabar that the raids were carried out in compliance with the directive of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu, following a series of kidnapping and other criminal activities in Calabar.

Militants attacked a police armoury in Calabar this week killing at least two people and carting away a large cache of weapons.

“Of late, you noticed that in Cross River, especially in Calabar, there has been an increase in kidnapping and theft cases spearheaded by militants, the latest being the attack on Marine Police.

“The Chief of Air Staff directed the Mobility Command to ensure that the militants do not patrol along Calabar waterways again and to reassure the people that the Air Force is always able and ready.
“So the display is just to assure the people of our combat readiness and we recorded successes, ‘’ Ohwo said.

The commander said the Combat Aircraft MI-24 was being used in the operation and that the command was expecting the arrival of another fighter jet, MI-17.
According to him, the command will continue to carry out such raids as often as possible until the bandits are cleared out of its area of responsibilities.
Ohwo said the command was mindful of the safety and continued operations of fishermen during the raids and had informed other sister security agencies in the state about the operation.
“The fight to flush out criminals is a collective responsibility by all security agencies, ‘’ he said.
There has been an upsurge in criminal activities in the state in recent times, especially in Calabar jetties.

Well said. Permit me to continually share these posts if you don't mind.

obailala:
It kills me when I see Nigerians defending the existence of criminals all because of tribalism and ethnicity. Suddenly pirates robbing and raping innocent men women and children in the south should be allowed to go free cos any attempt to fight them is viewed as tribalism.

I pray God leads those pirates to visit the families and homes of the not-too-smart people defending them foolishly.

pryme:
am shock to see this, so all this south south bombings were said to be going on in Calabar?!!! I don suffer! meanwhile am here in Calabar thinking of how this rain will stop. and Someone is here saying PMB is bombing Calabar.

remind me of that time some group of ppl came out here to say salt can cure Ebola, many ppl died cos of such fake info.

Raise Above Hate

The first picture on the mischievous thread was actually damage done by the militants bombs on NPDC Oil pipelines at Ighrenene, Afiesere and Ekiugbo communities in Delta State.

funkiebully:
How are d pictures u posted related to this one u posted? Are u just igniting self denial without looking at what u posted?

Guy shift.

atlwireles:
NL fulani how is life in Osogbo? Shameless people.

You should know I'm indifferent to your assertion.

For the record...

those pictures purpoted to be photos of the bombed militant's hideouts in Calabar on this thread...

https://www.nairaland.com/2393078/photos-recent-bombing-akwa-ibom-crossriver

...are FAKE and are pictures of the Elume River fire disaster in 2000. The thread's author is just being mischievous and trying to generate anti-government sentiments.

CSTR2:
Of course, you will love him.
Judases are often loved by those who benefited.
His people hate him though, which is the most important thing.
His political future in rivers state is gone .

The highest political position in Rivers State is to be Governor, which he has held twice so his political future is on the next level, not in Rivers State. Amaechi is talking National while you're talking local.

atlwireles:
The election of this man, is what APC noisemakers cannot stand. Their comments about Saraki is just a side show. The failure of Femi Gbajabiamila at the hands of Speaker Yakubu Dogara, will torment them for years.

You're quite mistaken. Some of us are exceptionally pleased with his emergence and the whittling down of Jagaban's powers. It was good for the party.

Preach to those who care you doltish buffoon.

You clearly have no logical response to my post which proves your thread is completely baseless and is the product of an infected brain.

TippyTop:
These are the 5 reasons Buhari is bombing Calabar.
1. Islamisation Agenda
2.To control our resources
3.To install puppets as governors
4.To expand Northern influence
5.For Oil bloc
After Calabar which state is next, I presume Bayelsa and then Delta.
