PRESS RELEASE SECOND WARNING TO BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS

This is to once again warn all Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are to desist from all acts of terrorism, surrender themselves & face D law now. We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, camps & enclaves. They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendered. Failure to surrender will result in serious consequences

Following the abduction and later release of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae, by kidnappers, the police have arrested six suspected members of the gang who abducted the chieftain.

Vanguard gathered that the suspects were arrested in Ondo, Ekiti and Niger states respectively.

Although details as to how the suspects were arrested is yet to come in, the suspects were alleged to have been arrested following a tip off on their identities as being members of the gang who abducted the Afenifere chief.

More soon….

However, recall that barely two weeks after some fulani herdsmen attacked and kidnapped the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae, some herdsmen have again destroyed the same farmland.

The Hinds are operated by the Nigerian Air Force, this is the reason the Nigerian Army is trying to raise it's own Air wing. Army operations aren't always carried out with the Nigerian Air force.


Now, I do have a problem with excuses of "unavailability of air-support", it, like MRAPs, give troops a false sense of invincibility. Helicopters cannot always be available for all operations. This is a fact.


* Anyway, it's easy for me to say, sitting on my couch.

To worsen the whole thing all the Nigeria Army could do was to issue a statement on twitter asking BHT members to surrender one last time that the Army knows their hideouts, can you imagine that? Why is the army appealing to them?

An aircraft belonging to the Nigerian Air Force has crashed in Yola, the capital of Adamawa in North-East Nigeria.


All crew members and passengers on the plane died in the accident, authorities said.


The identities of those on board were however yet to be disclosed.


The spokesperson for the Force, Dele Alonge, said in a statement late Saturday night that the aircraft crashed at about 4:23PM Nigerian time due to bad weather.

Mr. Alonge, an Air Commodore, said the F7-Ni fighter jet, with registration number, NAF801, was returning to base from an interdicted mission when it crashed around Hong, in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.


“There was no survival as the pilot of the aircraft lost his life in the unfortunate incident,” Mr. Alonge said.


He emphasised that the crash was due to bad weather and that the aircraft was never under enemy fire.


The statement added that the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal S.B .Abubakar had “set up an investigation panel to unravel the remote and immediate causes of the accident.”

The last bomb pix don even expire sef, it expired 1983..

Unexploded ordinance from the civil war are still going off and you think a 1983 wont still be lethal?

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to inform Nigerians living in the North East and any other parts of the country to keep a lookout for Cluster Bombs sometimes called scatter bombs as the Nigerian Army Engineers serving in Adamawa State have recovered some catches of these bombs in the contested areas in recent time.
The military high command has discovered that the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) in the areas have used such lethal instruments over time to push their callous terrorist cause. For easy identification, it is important to note that cluster bombs are bombs that house submunitions, that is, smaller explosives contained in individual cases. These bombs are used against large areas containing many targets, such as columns of vehicles, marketplaces, places of worship or large troop concentration as the case may be.
Some cluster bombs carry several hundred of very small explosives wrapped in a metal container like a pot while others carry larger submunitions that can find specific targets such as tanks. Some of these submunitions do not blow up immediately, but remain behind and act as landmines. This can be an acceptable explanation for the recovery of catches of these bombs by Nigerian Army Engineers in the area.
The general publics are hereby requested to be wary of such concealed dangerous equipment now being used by the terrorist elements to cause havoc to both innocent lives and property. The public is also advised to report such objects/materials if seen to security agencies for prompt action. The terrorists are desperate and frustrated and could use any cruel instrument to actualize their evil intention.
Members of the public are hereby urged to continue to cooperate with the security agencies by giving timely information to secure our great country

If they actually did weaponise it in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, i'm okay with that.

So NEMA no longer has a rescue chopper. Isn't that a minus?

See report from the 34 min

But this NTA DEFSEC reporter is the only DEFSEC reporter i know that wears khaftan and suite to do his job. So annoying

Henry120:
Looks good! Question is, where is this helicopter coming from, the Ukraine or Russia?

According to Beeg, the chopper was handed over to NAF by NEMA

From Beegs twitter handle. Hope to get the link to the video

africaken:
first of all cameroon was exceptional when dealing with boko haram,nigeria was just an embarrassment to all former british colonise. american troops appreciated the french AMX -10RC with its 105 mm gun. which could destroy walls and structures made of mud and straw where the insurgents were hiding in or behind which even a apache gunship 30 mm canon couldn't

I think there is no Nigerian on NL who will deny that we had serious issues. These issues stem majorly from ill-equipment and a lack of preparation and because it was a home grown insurgency coupled with the influences of politics and religion. But i can only conclude from your statement that you know nothing!

patches689:
I know that saying this is how russians operate suites you since it allows you to say "look nigerian army does the same, we are ok" but that simply is not true

Henry would answer for himself and i don't think that's what he is tying to say but i really wonder what is your point with that statement.

Na wah for this Saffers oh! these guys they make every DEFSEC thread tire person

jln115:
Honestly I don't think beating recruits with sticks has any place in a professional military.

Why should the west define what is professional to us? Did everyone sit down to agree on a definition of professionalism?

I will like to see it as we doing our on thing our own way. Besides there is a documentary on youtube about the NDA, i bet you you wont see any of what is portrayed in the picture in that video.

Operation in Sambisa forest. DHQ
