Lagos State Police Command @LagosPoliceNG

CP LAGOS LEADS POLICE PERSONNEL TO RESTORE NORMALCY AT OTO-IJANIKIN

…..Seven Suspects Arrested, One Locally Made Pistol With Two Live Cartridges Recovered From Them, Orders Massive Manhunt For Other Fleeing Suspects.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, personally led a joint team of Police operatives and Tactical Squads from the Command to clear the blockage and reopen the Lagos-Badagry Expressway at the Otto-Ijanikin axis to traffic and other road users. The expressway, which was blocked following a communal clash between the youths of Ijanikin and Otto, has since been reopened at about 09:00 am.

The expressway, which was blocked for some hours today following a communal clash between youths of Ijanikin and Otto, has now been reopened to traffic, and normalcy has been fully restored in the affected communities with members of the public going about their lawful businesses and activities peacefully.

During the clash between the two youth groups, one Akinyemi Omo Akin, was suspected to have been shot and died in the hospital. The Commissioner of Police has directed a full-scale investigation of the incident, to be led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti. Massive deployment of Police personnel is on the ground to sustain the peace and forestall any further breakdown of law and order.

From preliminary investigation, it is incorrect and untrue that the deceased died from a stray bullet from the Police. Before Police intervention and arrival at the scene, there were calls and information to the Police from members of the public that the two sides brought in cultists that were shooting and engaging themselves in a gun duel. The victim must have been shot during the shootout.

Meanwhile, seven (7) suspects from both sides have been arrested and are in Police custody in connection with the clash, and they have made voluntary statements indicating the various criminal roles they played in the clash.

One locally made pistol and two (2) live cartridges were recovered from one of the suspects. Furthermore, detachments of Police Tactical Squads and Anti-Riot Policemen are currently combing the affected communities and surrounding bushes to apprehend the other fleeing suspects and bring them to justice.

The Lagos State Police Command hereby warns all troublemakers and their sponsors that the Command will not tolerate any act that can lead to the breach of the existing peace anywhere in the State. The full weight of the law will be applied to those arrested. Parents and guardians are hereby enjoined to prevail on their children and wards to desist forthwith from any act that threatens the safety of lives and property in the State.

CP Olohundare Jimoh encourages all the people of the State to go about their lawful businesses and other engagements without fear or apprehension. He urges members of the public to promptly report any suspicious persons or activities capable of threatening public peace and security through the Command’s emergency lines: 07061019374, 08065154338, 08063299264, 08039344870, and 09168630929.

Politics › Re: NAF Earns Praise For AH-1Z Attack Helicopter Preparedness by naptu2(op): 3:49am On Mar 01

I created this post on April 21st, 2020.

I usually begin by telling the story, but I'm going to do it differently this time because I've seen some very funny posts.

Let's deal with some of the ignorance here. Some people are saying that the A29 Super Tucano is not used for warfare or that it's just a reconnaissance plane, while some very funny people are saying that we should buy F14, F15 or F16 planes (to fight against Boko Haram? grin

), So let's answer the question, what is the Super Tucano used for.

The Super Tucano has the prefix A. What are A planes used for? Some people want us to buy F planes. What are F planes used for?

These are the meanings of the prefixes on US military planes.

A: Attack
C: Cargo (i.e., transport)
D: Drone (i.e., drone control)
E: Electronic warfare
F: Fighter
H: Help aircraft (i.e., search and rescue)
K: Kerosene Carrier (i.e., tanker)
L: Equipped for cold weather operations
M: Multi-mission (i.e., Special Operations)
O: Observation
P: Maritime patrol
Q: Unmanned aerial vehicle
R: Reconnaissance
S: Surface warfare
T: Trainer
U: Utility
V: VIP transport
W: Weather reconnaissance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_United_States_Tri-Service_aircraft_designation_system

The A simply means (Ground) Attack aircraft. They are used to provide close air support to soldiers on the ground and to attack enemy soldiers on the ground. These planes are particularly useful in guerrilla warfare and counter-insurgency operations, like the kind of warfare that the Nigerian military is fighting in the North-East.

The F planes are fighters and interceptors. They are primarily used to fight against other military aircraft. Pray tell, what war planes do Boko Haram have that you want to buy F planes to fight against Boko Haram?

The Nigerian Army has often complained that they need close air support and that it often takes the Nigerian Air Force too long to respond with close air support when they require it. The A29 Super Tucano is meant to solve this problem.

Furthermore, the Nigerian Air Force has complained that the Chengdu F7 (an F plane) is too fast and that it's not good for counter-insurgency operations, yet you want to buy another F plane to fight Boko Haram?

UzorIyke:
You're correct but he's also correct that Iran is sponsoring about 90% world terrorism, almost all gets link to Iran, even in Nigeria all these terrorists organisations one or two must be sponsoring by them, we have Lukarawa, Iswap, ISIS, Boko haram, and many others, Iranian hands must be in one or two especially this ISIS.

Research the difference between Shia and Sunni Islam.

Next I will quote my posts from the Super Tucano thread.

Politics › Re: NAF Earns Praise For AH-1Z Attack Helicopter Preparedness by naptu2(op): 10:34pm On Feb 28

I wrote this on November 3rd, 2025.

Yesterday's conversation

The conversation won't fit into one post, so I'll make many short posts about it. I can't remember exactly where it started, but I'll start here.

They said

I seriously doubt if this kind of terrorist activities would have taken root during the military regime

I said that it would make no difference. I said that the only reason that the Boko Haram insurgency took root was because of the internet and satellite TV. I said that I was getting ready to go somewhere, but that the person should google Maitatsine.

When I got where I was going I discovered that the person replied with:

I know about Maitasine and how it was decimated in less than a month after they had been operating for several months

I said that I watched the Maitatsine problem with my own eyes and it began during the Murtala era (he tried to use negotiations),

continued during the Obasanjo era (Obasanjo held meetings with religious leaders and in fact, it was one of those meetings that lead to the formation of CAN. Christian leaders like Archbishop Okogie met somewhere after they left Dodan Barracks and decided to create a Christian Association of Nigeria).

There were also clashes during the Shagari era (Shagari used mobile police against them).

Then there was that big clash during the Buhari era (Buhari personally flew to Kano and used overwhelming military force to destroy them).

I remember that 1985 clash really very well and I'll tell you why in another post.

The person said that that was what they was referring to, "overwhelming military force".

I said that Yar'Adua used overwhelming military force against Boko Haram in 2009 and it would have destroyed the group like Maitatsine was destroyed, if not for the internet and satellite TV.

I also said that Buhari boasted about his 1985 destruction of Maitatsine during the 2015 election campaign, but he could not destroy Boko Haram the way he destroyed Maitastine because we now have the internet and satellite TV.

I did not get a chance to explain why I kept referring to the internet and satellite TV, so let me tell you why.

Yar'Adua ordered a crackdown on Boko Haram in 2009. The crackdown went viral. I have told you about the video of mobile policemen killing the Boko Haram suspect. Mohammed Yusuf was also killed.

Olusegun Adeniyi was Yar'Adua's spokesman and he has written about what happened afterwards. Yar'Adua was supposed to have a press conference with a visiting leader (I think it was the Indian Prime Minister). Mr Adeniyi said that he knew that journalists would ask Yar'Adua about the extra-judicial killings of Boko Haram suspects. He told Yar'Adua to condemn any extra-judicial killings, but Yar'Adua got very angry.

Yar'Adua said that these people (Boko Haram) took up arms, attacked police stations, killed innocent people, etc. and Olusegun Adeniyi was telling him to condemn the action of the security services. As far as Yar'Adua was concerned, Boko Haram deserved to be destroyed.

Yar'Adua was so angry that Olusegun Adeniyi realised that he could not bring up the issue again. However, he knew that foreign journalists would ask the question, so he wrote a short response and put it on the lectern for Yar'Adua.

Yes indeed a foreign journalist asked the question and Yar'Adua used Olusegun Adeniyi's response. He commended the security services for ending the violence, but he also said that there would be an investigation into whether any extra-judicial killings had taken place and any culprits would be punished according to the law.

Response of international terrorists

As I have often said, the kind of thing that happened in 2009 has happened many times in Nigeria (Maitatsine is just one of them). They usually end after the security services use overwhelming force. Boko Haram should have died after Yar'Adua cracked down on them.

But things had changed. We were now living in a global village. Al Jazeera and other international satellite TV agencies broadcast videos of the killing of that Boko Haram suspect. The videos went viral on Facebook.

Middle Eastern terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and their allies in Somalia (Al-Shabab) and North Africa (AQIM) released statements that the Nigerian Government was killing Muslims. They reached out to Boko Haram and revived it with injection of funds, arms and training. Boko Haram that should have died in 2009 became even stronger than it was before 2009.

Sports › Re: Kaduna State Government Takes Over Ahmadu Bello Stadium by naptu2(op): 12:40pm On Feb 28

Most of these stadiums were originally built bu regional governments.

Lagos:

The Lagos Executive Development Board, LEDB (the forerunner of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation, LSDPC) was developing Surulere in the 1950s. Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, a multi-millionaire businessman who was involved with the Olympic Committee, put a lot of pressure on the LEDB to build a stadium in Surulere to allow youths to engage in sports.

Chief JK Randle was made chairman of the fund raising committee and the Surulere Stadium was opened in 1958.

Lagos was to host the All-Africa Games in 1973, so the Federal Government took over the land, demolished the Surulere Stadium and built the National Stadium to host the event. That stadium was Nigeria's main stadium from the 1970s to the early 2000s.

Western Region:

The Western Region Government broke ground on the site for a new stadium in 1958. The stadium was completed in 1960 and it was called the Liberty Stadium in honour of Nigeria's independence. It was the main stadium in Nigeria in the 1960s (Dick Tiger fought championship matches in this stadium).

The Federal Government eventually took over the stadium.

The stadium was renamed the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in 2010.

Enugu:

The ground in Enugu was the sports ground of the Railway Corporation in 1959. It was taken over by the Eastern Region Government which renovated it.

The Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium was eventually taken over by the Federal Government, but it was returned to the Enugu State Government in 2013.

Kaduna:

The Ahmadu Bello Stadium was built by the Northern Region Government in 1965. It was eventually taken over by the Federal Government.
