Crime / 16 Boko Haram, Islamic State Members Surrender As Troops Intensify Operations by IDanfulani(m): 7:31pm On Nov 08, 2019
The incremental raids, clearance patrols, sting operations, cordon & search operations as well as mortar and artillery bombardment of identified criminal insurgents and bandits' hideouts within the past one week has yielded tremendous positive outcomes as some of the terrorists surrendered to our gallant troops while several others were neutralised.

According to a statement signed by the Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu, made available on November 8, 2019, the period equally witnessed the interception and arrest of several Boko Haram Logistics Suppliers and informants by the troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE as well as the arrest or neutralisation of some bandits and other criminal elements in the North West and other parts of the nation.

On 1st November 2019 for instance, 16 insurgents along with 8 of their spouses who could no longer bear the heat from the onslaught against them surrendered to the relentless troops of Sector 1, Multinational Joint Task Force at Fotokol. Subsequently, the surrendered insurgents were later handed over to troops of 3 Battalion (Main) at Gamboru Ngala, a border town NE of Borno State. During preliminary interrogation and profiling, they confessed to have actively participated in attacks conducted against both military and civilian targets at various times. It was further revealed that 14 of them whose names are Ibrahim Bunu, Abba Sale, Baba Lamba Alhaji, Bukar Isa, Bukar Ali, Rawa Abba Gana, Mustapha Abatcha, Umar Abubakar, Hassan Bukar, Malam Abatcha Ali, Abba Umar Abatcha, Hussaini Babagana, Idris Mohammed and Umar Abba Bayoma all belonged to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) led by Al - Barnawi while the remaining 2, Hassan Kawu and Babagana Bukar Adijabe belonged to Boko Haram (Abubakar Shekau Faction). The repentant insurgents however, regretted their participation in the heinous crimes they committed against humanity and are now calling on their former colleagues to retrace their steps and also surrender to troops before it is too late.

In another development, troops deployed at Gajigana in Magumeri LGA of Borno State intercepted some Boko Haram criminals in the early hours of Tuesday 5th November 2019. It is believed that the insurgents were on their way to attack the community to source for food items and other logistics for their survival. However, the vigilant troops blocked and neutralised 3 of the Boko Haram criminals while several others escaped with varying degrees of gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, one soldier paid the supreme price while 2 others were wounded in action. The wounded soldiers are currently responding to treatment in a military medical facility. Additionally, the troops captured 2 AK 47 Rifles, one Rocket Propelled Gun 7 (RPG 7), 5 AK 47 magazines, 47 Rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition and some quantities of hard drugs during exploitation. In a related incident, another Boko Haram criminal met his waterloo on 4th November 2019 while attempting to cross into the Sambisa Forest at Bama - Banki Road Junction when own tps sighted and neutralized him.

Similarly, troops of 195 Battalion, while on clearance patrol along Gubio Road on 4th November 2019 recovered a kit bag containing 480 Rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition suspected to have been abandoned by escaping terrorists. In another encounter with the Boko Haram criminals on 6 November 2019 at Muchima in Damboa LGA of Borno State, 9 Boko Haram insurgents were neutralized by troops while others escaped with gunshot wounds. Additionally, one insurgent Gun Truck was destroyed, 4 AK 47 Rifles and a cache of ammunition were recovered. Similarly, troops of Sector 2 deployed at Damaturu, Yobe State dealt a decisive blow to the insurgents’ attempt to infiltrate the town on 7 November 2019. The attempted infiltration was thwarted by the combined efforts of ground troops, artillery bombardment and precision air strikes by the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE. The encounter led to the decimation of a number of the insurgents in addition to the destruction of one Boko Haram Gun Truck. Unfortunately, one Officer paid the supreme price during the encounter. Furthermore, during their exploitation, troops discovered and safely detonated 2 Unexploded Ordnance materials planted by the insurgents as well as the charred remains of some of the terrorists that were hurriedly buried by the criminal insurgents while withdrawing in disarray following the superior firepower of our troops.

Outside the North East theatre, troops on Operation MESA continued to increase the momentum of their operations across the nation during the period. For instance, on 4th November 2019, troops of 1 Division Garrison deployed at Damakasuwa in Kauru LGA of Kaduna State arrested one Mustapha Usman Shehu while driving a Honda salon car with Registration number ABUJA BU 70 RBC along Damakasuwa - Kano Road with a Pump Action Gun loaded with 2 cartridges concealed in the vehicle compartment. Relatedly, on 5th November 2019 troops of 82 Division, while on a random Stop and Search Operation, arrested a notorious gun runner, Leonard Asogwa in a commercial bus travelling from Onitsha to Jos. A meticulous search of his baggage revealed 2 neatly concealed Pump Action Guns with 25 live cartridges. Additionally, troops of 1 Division Garrison, while acting on credible information, conducted a successful Cordon and Search operation at the country home of one Alhaji Shehu Abubakar of Yakawada Town in Giwa LGA of Kaduna State on 5th November 2019. Items recovered during the operation include: one AK 47 Rifle with 4 Rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunitions, one locally fabricated Revolver with 3 Rounds of 7.62mm NATO and one Pump Action Gun with 6 live cartridges. Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is one of the suppliers of arms and ammunition to kidnappers and bandits terrorizing the resi of Kaduna and neighbouring States.

Furthermore, troops of Operation MESA in the North Central in conjunction with elements of Special Forces Bikers conducted clearance operation at Dam 1 and Timchan Villages in Kadarko District, Wase LGA of Plateau State as well as Kurmi Village in Ibi LGA of Taraba State. During the operations, 10 suspected militias were arrested while troops also recovered 101 Rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, 71 Rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, one Plastic Explosive and 36 Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) at the residence of one Shehu Jatau, a notorious militia gang leader, who was earlier arrested in a hotel in Central Area, Abuja. Additionally, one locally fabricated Rifle and a live cartridge were also recovered at Timchan Village.

In the Niger Delta region, troops of 146 Battalion (Main) in conjunction with personnel of Nigeria Police Finima Division while acting on information, conducted a swift raid operation against some suspected gunmen at Okobi and Conkiri Long John Abalamabie Communities in Bonny LGA of Rivers State. The raid led to the arrest of one suspect and recovery of 7 Rounds of 9mm ammunition, a pair of camouflage uniform, one black beret and wraps of substance suspected to be Cannabis Sativa (indian hemp).

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai wishes to reassure the general 2public of the resolve of the Nigerian Army to continue to execute our constitutional mandate professionally and responsively for a better and secured Nigeria. He also thank all well-meaning Nigerians for their continued support, goodwill and understanding towards officers and men of the Nigerian Army. He therefore enjoins all law-abiding citizens to go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestation and intimidation and to provide useful information about suspected criminal elements to security agencies.

You are kindly requested to disseminate above information to the general public for their awareness. Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Politics / Civil Society Caution State Assembly On Removal Of Nutrition Interventions by IDanfulani(m): 8:13am On Nov 07, 2019
By Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani

The nutrition development partners and Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria, CS-SUNN, have petitioned the speaker, Kaduna State House of Assembly, Alhaji Aminu Abdullahi Shagali on the removal of nutrition intervention budget items in the 2020 state budget.

A joint statement issued by Isah Ibrahim (SAVE THE CHILDREN), Hadiza Umar (CS_SUNN), Chinwe Ezeife (UNICEF), and Sarah Didi Kwasu (Alive & Thrive fhi360) respectively said,

"We, the nutrition development partners and Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CS-SUNN), working in Kaduna State, who have appended our signatures hereunder, wish to bring to your leadership notice our positions with regards to the invitation we received titled Invitation for Legislative Public Hearing on A Bill for a Law to Make Provision for Appropriation of Funds for the Government of Kaduna State for the year 2020."

PREAMBLE
States in Northern Nigeria where Kaduna state belongs are the most affected by the two forms of malnutrition stunting and wasting. 

Kaduna state had made some progress on food and nutrition intervention particularly in the development of relevant policies, strategies, operational plans and allocation of funds across two levels of government (State and LGAs) to ensure more domestic resources are mobilized to address malnutrition among women and children of the state
However, Kaduna state is still far behind in terms of nutrition development in the country. 
Currently, the State ranked tenth (10th) with the higher burden of stunted children (50.5%) among the 36 states of Nigeria including the FCT, Abuja while5.2% of the state children are wasted.
Kaduna State is ranked eleventh (11th) with the higher burden of children that are underweight (24.3%) among the 36 states of the country including the FCT
Kaduna state nutrition problems are closely related to the poor general health status of the state population particularly among women and children. 

Current Nutrition Situation Intervention
There are various nutrition interventions going on in the state with huge segment of funding from the development partners.
The State Emergency Nutrition Action Plan intervention is yielding positive impact
There is currently a specific Nutrition Intervention budget line under the State Planning and Budget Commission amounting to N150million in 2019 budget. 
The State has developed its pioneer Five-year Multi-Sectoral Strategic Plan of Action on Nutrition (KD-MSPAN 2020-2024) with a sum of N234,376,430.00 required for its implementation in the year 2020. 
All the 23 Local Governments of the State have at least two nutrition related budget lines with allocation of funds in their respective 2019 and proposed 2020 budgets," the statement explained.

Our Observations from 2020 State Budget
The Hon. Speaker will be interested to know that, the forum has gone through the first draft Kaduna State 2020 Budget, and the final 2020 Budget appropriation bill presented to the Assembly by the Executive Arm of Government through Her Excellency, The State Deputy Governor, Hajiya Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe. After an extensive analysis, review of the documents, and comparative analysis with the current fiscal year budget, we hereby make the following observations:
Four nutrition related budget lines were removed in the final 2020 budget (Nutrition Intervention budget line with a sum of N250million, School Garden programme N36.5million and procurement of Ready to Used Therapeutic Food N102million, and Promotion of Nutrition Sensitivity, Food Processing, Utilization and Gender Inclusion) submitted to the Assembly. 
Despite the commitment and approval of the executive arm of government to recruit three thousand health workers including nutritionists under the State Primary Health Care Development Agency, we observed that no provision has been made in the 2020 fiscal year to ensure actualization of this commitment

Challenges
Low recognition by policy makers of malnutrition as a multi-sectoral issue, and a major obstacle to economic and social development. 
Low mainstreaming of nutrition into existing sectoral budgets/programmes.
Lack of dedicated nutrition related budget lines in key relevant nutrition MDAs including Ministry of Health, Primary Health Care Development Agency, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Education, Ministry Ministry of Human Services and Social Development, Ministry of Water Resources/ RUWASSA, etc
Delay of cash backing of approved funds to implement nutrition activities."

Recommendations:
Revisit nutrition budget lines that were deleted by the executive arm of government in the 2020 state budget.
Ensure sustainability of Nutrition budget lines to facilitates accessing funds for the implementation of the state multi-sectoral strategic plan of action on nutrition in 2020,
Fund allocation for the implementation of cost effective infant and young child nutrition services. 

OUR PRAYER
While registering our deep appreciation to the Kaduna State House of Assembly under your good leadership for providing opportunity to citizens in making inputs to this important bill, we pray that the Legislative Arm of Government will henceforth consider issue of food and nutrition as a critical development matter that requires legislative timely support through their oversight function in view of the number of children and women that are dying as a result of malnutrition in Kaduna state."
