Orion2603: What are you even saying typing rubbish. What is the point of calling people mouth general, I believe you got issue and what is the aim of your post? Past glory and nigeria can't redeem herself. You are one of the problems you attack everyone that oppose your post and respond like a little kid.. grow up man.
DeeFlask: not every body here is a mouth general some of us don serve japa soilders have lost their lives ,children women, and you want to telle it's easier to flush coupist in an urban area where missles can even hit private buildings than mahmudawa terroris that's everyone know their hideouts int the thick forest okay .
You see, my question is a very simple one, but none of them can answer it.
Boko Haram was created in 2002. We have had many governments since then and Boko Haram has continued to exist. Many lives have been lost, yet some people say that it is simple.
If it is simple and you are a human being, why have you not prevented the loss of lives and stopped it, since it is simple to you?
None of them can answer it, they just keep trying to divert attention. Look at some of them up there!
This is my last post about insurgency (because that's not the topic of the thread. If you want to learn about insurgency, google all the names in this post.
These things lasted many years and when you hear these names every day for 30 or 40 years, they get burned into your brain.
I'm not going to include the Europeans, because I've made a separate post about them (or, maybe I'll quote my old post at the end). I might also add the Africans later.
1) Shining Path
2) Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers).
naptu2: Maybe that's the benefit of violence, who knows?
I usually included The Parti Québécois in my list of such parties back in the 1980s and '90s, but I've usually failed to include them in such lists since the 1990s. It's almost as if I have forgotten them. Now I think it's because they were never linked to violence (that's why I've forgotten them).
There are certain terrorist organisations that have or are linked to political parties. I remember compiling a list of such parties and organisations in the 1980s. These are the ones that I can still remember.
Herri - Batasuna and ETA: The Euskadi Ta Askatasuna is a terrorist organisation that had a bombing campaign in Spain and France in order to win independence for the Basque Region of both countries. Its attacks were mainly carried out in Spain, but it also launched attacks in France. Herri Batasuna is a political party that advocates for the independence of the Basque Region of Spain. The party has won seats in elections into the Spanish and Basque regional parliaments, but it always refuses to take up those seats. The party has been banned a few times because it is viewed as the political wing of ETA.
Fattha and the PLO: The Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) is an umbrella organisation of Palestinian liberation organisations. The PLO carried out terrorist attacks against Israel and its allies in the 1970s and '80s. Fattah is the dominant group within the PLO and since the 1994 peace agreement, it has contested elections for positions in the Palestinian Authority and in fact, it has controlled the PA for greater period of time since then. Although the PLO reached a peace agreement with Israel, some of its component factions still view violence as a means of achieving their aims.
Sinn Fein and the IRA: Sinn Fein is a mainly Catholic and Republican political party that advocates for the unification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The party mainly operates in Northern Ireland. In the past, Sinn Fein won seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly, but it refused to take up those seats. However, in recent times, especially after the peace agreement, it now takes fills its seats in the assembly. They have also won seats in the United Kingdom Parliament in London, but they have always refused to take up those seats. The Irish Republican Army is a terrorist organisation that ran a violent campaign to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and unite it with the Republic of Ireland. Many people see Sinn Fein as the political wing of the IRA, even though both groups do not publicly admit their ties. The former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was one of the people that believed that Sinn Fein and the IRA were one and the same. This was the reason why her government banned the voices of Sinn Fein leaders, including their chairman, Gerry Adams, from being broadcast in the UK. The government likened broadcasting the voices of Sinn Fein leaders to providing a platform for terrorist propaganda.
Hezbollah and Hezbollah: Hezbollah (the Party of God) is a triple purpose organisation. It is a political party, a terrorist group and a charity organisation all rolled into one. The organisation is often mentioned in Nigeria because of its charitable activities. Hezbollah was formed in the 1980s to combat the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It is heavily backed by Iran and its military wing has grown to become even bigger than the Lebanese Army. It often fires Katyusha rockets into Israel in reprisal for Israeli actions. This often prompts the Israeli military to invade Lebanon and obviously this leads to regular battles between Hezbollah and the Israeli Army. Hezbollah's political wing has often won seats in the Lebanese Parliament and they have massive support among the Lebanese people. In Nigeria, Hezbollah was often talked about in the 1980s and again in the early 2000s because of its charitable activities. The organisation builds and runs numerous schools and hospitals in Lebanon. It also donates food, medical supplies and other goods to the poor. Obviously this is not being done because the organisation is altruistic. Rather, I believe that it's simply part of the group's propaganda war (in order to win the hearts and minds of the Lebanese people). Back during the Niger Delta militant campaign, some Nigerians complained that the militants were simply enriching themselves and doing nothing for the poor in the Niger Delta and they compared them to what Hezbollah was doing for the poor in Lebanon.
Now to the propaganda video. This video was created by Sinn Fein. The video is titled, "The Gate That Opens Once A Year" and it is designed to show that the Orange Order marchers are the cause of the trouble in Northern Ireland.
I have previously posted videos of the confrontations between Protestant Orange Order marchers and Catholic residents in Northern Ireland. In order to reduce the likelihood of skirmishes, the government erected huge walls, barriers and gates between Protestant and Catholic neighbourhoods in the late 1990s. However, they occasionally open the gates to allow the Orange Order marchers to cross into the Catholic neighbourhoods. The video attempts to show that Catholic residents are suffering because the Protestants stubbornly insist on coming to their neighbourhoods. It shows that Catholic neighbourhoods are inundated with heavily armed riot police, soldiers, armoured vehicles, helicopters, etc every year and that this has a negative effect on the residents. It says that the residents obviously don't want the Protestant marchers, so why do they keep coming. It says that the Protestants are unnecessarily creating tension in what is supposed to be a peaceful neighbourhood.
Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Samora Machel (you won't believe how depressed I was when he died), Sam Nujoma, Kenneth Kaunda, José Eduardo dos Santos, Joaquim_Chissano, Steve Biko, etc.
Right, I have eaten and I have taken my drugs. From this point on, I am going to block all the people that have been paid to spread political non sense online.
I will block everybody that tries to derail my thread.
I will block all the mouth generals that can talk but can't do anything (those that know nothing about insurgencies and asymmetric warfare).
And I will block all those that mock our dead troops by claiming that fighting insurgents is simple (something that great powers like the UK, Spain, France and the United States took decades to do and still couldn't win).
tollyboy5: Yes that's what we're saying. Soldiers are not loosing their life invading other countries but loosing their life in their own country over some forest bandits politicians are protecting. It is easy but like Trump said "disgraced country" we have many disgraceful shameless men in so many important security positions. Why would you not tag it as not simple when disgraceful politicians choose to negotiate with terrorists and absorbed them into our military forces.
It's easy, yet you cannot do it?
It's easy, yet the Americans could not end the insurgency in Iraq (22 years after invading)?
It's easy but the British could not defeat the IRA for over 30 years?
It's easy but Spain could not defeat ETA??
It's easy, yet Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu have not been able to stop it??
These mouth generals are not serious and I think I'm going to start blocking them.
YOU ARE EITHER WI CKED OR YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BECAUSE IT'S EASY FOR YOU, YET YOU HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO STOP THE INSURGENCY
GloriousGbola: Also Alberto fujimori of Peru who shut down shining path and Tupac amaru
Yes! That's the person that I was trying to remember!
I followed the attack on the embassy live via the BBC World Service. I was kind of confused when the insurgents were killed, but that became the beginning of Fujimori's problems. There were claims that some of the insurgents were killed after surrendering.
President Talon is the democratically elected president of Benin Republic. He requested for assistance based on Ecowas agreements and Nigeria and the Ivory Coast responded. There's nothing illegal about that.
Anyway, I know that the aim is simply to derail my thread.
This thread is about the times that Nigeria has intervened to stop coups in other countries (troops actually doing the work). It is not about mouth generals and their fantasies.
If it is easy to end an insurgency, then my challenge to the mouth generals here is that they should save lives and go and show the Nigerian Armed Forces how to do it.
It is usually very difficult to end an insurgency. I follow the news and I know that insurgencies go on for decades. There's an insurgency in Colombia that has been raging since the 1960s. There are other such insurgencies that I have tracked for decades. Remember the IRA in the UK? ETA in Spain, etc?
The other day I wrote a question, I said that the war in Iraq began in 2003 when the Americans invaded, when did it end? The answer is that it's still going on right now (22 years later). The media just stopped paying attention to it because the Americans withdrew.
It's very difficult to overcome asymmetric wars because the insurgents can easily blend into the civilian population (they don't even wear uniforms), they can easily adapt and it is very difficult to catch them, even though you are stronger than them.
That's why what happened in Sri Lanka surprised me.
There was an insurgency in Sri Lanka that I had been following for decades. It started in 1983 and like all insurgencies, I thought it would never end.
The Government of Sri Lanka was fighting against the Tamil Tiger rebels. The Tigers had engaged in bombing campaigns and other terrorist acts, they held territory, etc and it was difficult to defeat them.
Then, in 2009, the Sri Lankan Government launched an offensive and defeated the Tigers. I couldn't believe it! For the next 3 years I kept expecting to hear that the Tigers launched an attack, but nothing of the sort happened. That was my surprisation.
You can't be living. Hypocritical life and be bold and arrogant about it.
DeeFlask: People have died due to insecurity in Nigeria this comment is disgusting
obi4eze: I am sorry but whoever you are, you are purely hypocritical. Is it easier to invade another country or fight the terrorists in Nigeria?
tollyboy5: It's simpler to enter another country's airspace, than solving insecurity issues within your own airspace. Is that not wonderful?
What is hypocritical is calling an insurgency in which brave and gallant troops have lost their lives "simple" and making fun of their efforts. Do you belong to that crew?
If it is simple, then go and do it and save lives!
kingbee90: You and your types are part of Nigeria's problems.
Common Disembark from my mentions !!
You can't answer my simple question Mr Mouth General, why have you not solved the problem, since it is so simple? All you know how to do is make noise online.
Colonel Lawan Gwadabe did not like General Abacha. He was an IBB boy. However, Gwadabe was from a well connected family and so Abacha was trying to bring him closer, so that he could use his connections. Gwadabe was unhappy about this.
There was a coup in the Gambia and Sir Dauda Jawara was overthrown. Gwadabe thought that this was a great opportunity to get closer to the Americans. His contacts in the US Government had asked him for a Nigerian intervention. He had presented the idea to General Abacha and Abacha had agreed.
Sir Dauda Jawara was on a ship in the Atlantic and the idea was that Nigerian troops would invade the Gambja, remove Jammeh and re-instal Sir Dauda Jawara as democratically elected president. Gwadabe even arranged for Abacha and Clinton to speak on the phone.
However, Abacha did not go through with the deal. This greatly embarrassed Gwadabe. He didn't know how to explain it to his contacts in the US Government. It's one of the reasons why he decided not to have anything to do with Abacha. Abacha was trying to bring Gwadabe closer to him, but the Abacha boys were trying to remove Gwadabe, so Gwadabe helped the Abacha boys to achieve their aim and he was posted out of the country.
kingbee90: Meanwhile Nigeria can not solve a simple terrorism issue that has been disturbing this nation and has taken somany lives of civilians and our gallant military officers.
That's hypocrisy.
If it is simple, then why don't you go and solve it, since it is so simple?
On December 7th, 2025 several soldiers of the Benin Armed Forces led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri announced the overthrow of Beninese president Patrice Talon on national television, following an attack on Talon's residence in Cotonou and the residences of other top-ranking military officials.
The Beninoise Foreign Ministry sent a note verbal to the Nigerian Foreign Ministry, requesting for air support and then President Talon sent a direct request to President Tinubu for ground troops.
The Beninoise Republican Guards had already repelled the coupists, but the government felt that innocent civilians would have been negatively affected if Beninoise forces had fought directly with the coupists, so they activated Ecowas agreements and requested for air support from Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire.
The coupists had retreated to a military base that had armoured vehicles, so Nigerian and Ivorian fighter jets attacked the armoured vehicles. Ivorian special forces also entered Benin to assist in dealing with the coupists.
naptu2: Sir Dauda Jawara was prime minister of Gambia from 1962 (before independence in 1965) till 1970 (Queen Elizabeth II was head of state). He became president of Gambia in 1970.
Sir Dauda Jawara was overthrown in a coup in 1994 and Lieutenant Yahya Jammeh (as he then was) became head of state.
Jammeh transitioned from being a military head of state to a civilian elected president in 1996. He kept changing the constitution to extend his tenure.
Jammeh lost the 2016 presidential election to Adama Barrow, but refused to leave office. Instead he sacked the electoral commission.
ECOWAS told Jammeh to leave office, but he refused.
President Buhari ordered Nigerian Navy warship, NNS Centenary, to Gambia and Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jets flew over Banjul. Senegalese soldiers also massed on the border, ready to invade Gambia and remove Jammeh.
Jammeh got the message and went into exile.
Gambians took to social media to mourn and thank President Buhari when they heard of his (Buhari's) death.
It was an exciting morning and I was trying to figure out what was happening. Many things were happening in different places at the same time and I was monitoring BBC World Service and Nigerian media to try and figure out what the hell was happening.
1) Nigeria ordered NNS Aradu to Equatorial Guinea to go and protect the country. It seems the order came from President Obasanjo himself.
2) There were rumours of a coup or attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea and some soldiers had been arrested.
3) Some people had been arrested in a Zimbabwean airport. It seemed like President Mugabe had been informed about it and he had called Presidents Obasanjo and Mbeki. The BBC said that Simon Mann was one of the people that were arrested.
4) Some other people had been arrested in South Africa.
5) There were rumours of an investigation in the UK, but nobody had been arrested.
How were all these things connected?
I'll tell you.
Equatorial Guinea was a poor country near Calabar. The country is actually split into 2 parts, Bioko, which is an island in the Atlantic Ocean (not far from Calabar and Cameroon) and Rio Muni, which is on the mainland and borders Cameroon and the Atlantic Ocean.
Back in the 1980s Nigerians often joked that the Nigerian Government should invade Equatorial Guinea and make it the 20th state. Equatorial Guinea was small, poor and there were many Nigerians in the country.
I told you about what happened in 1987. Nigerian military intelligence discovered that South Africans were working on a project in Equatorial Guinea and the government demanded that the Equato-Guineans should expel the South Africans. Admiral Aikhomu made a very strong statement and this inspired Vanguard Newspaper to write a fantastic fictional article about a war between Nigeria and South Africa. Anyway, Babangida sent General Ike Nwachukwu to talk to the Equato-Guineans and the South Africans were expelled.
Oil
Equatorial Guinea, which had been a small and poor country, discovered oil in 1999 or 2000 and it suddenly became rich. Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria signed an agreement on how they would divide the oil.
The issue in 2004.
Which brings us to the main issue.
A group of British businessmen, including Mark Thatcher, son of former British Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher, decided that they wanted Equatorial Guinea's oil money. They hired some mercenaries (led by Simon Mann) and planned to stage a coup in order to take over the country. They also bribed some Equato-Guinean soldiers to assist them.
Simon Mann was a former British soldier who created a mercenary company after retiring from service.
He went to South Africa and hired some South African mercenaries to take part in the coup. They flew to Zimbabwe to get more men and equipment and that's when Zimbabwean security discovered that they were armed. The mercenaries were arrested. The Zimbabweans discovered that it was part of a coup plot and Mugabe called Obasanjo and Mbeki.
President Obasanjo ordered the Nigerian Navy's flagship, NNS Aradu, to Equatorial Guinea to protect the island. Nigerian soldiers were also sent there.
Some of the mercenaries that were in South Africa were also arrested.
The Equato-Guineans also arrested the soldiers that were going to take part in the coup.
The mercenaries in Zimbabwe and South Africa were eventually extradited to Equatorial Guinea to stand trial. Simon Mann was jailed.
All of these happened in 2004.
Simon Mann gave an interview in which he claimed that senior British figures knew about the coup plot. The British media also conducted investigation that showed that MI6 and the CIA knew about the coup plot beforehand, but decided to do nothing.
Years later, Simon Mann was pardoned by the president of Equatorial Guinea (he had been ill) and set free.
Unfortunately I can't find my old post about Sao Tome, but let me tell you about my abiding memory.
There was a coup in Sao Tome and President Obasanjo gave the coupists a deadline to surrender. The coupists surrendered and my abiding memory is of Nigeria 001 flying into Sao Tome and Obasanjo coming down the steps while holding the hand of the Sao Tomean president (the Sao Tomean president had sought refuge in Nigeria).
Nigeria Urges Sao Tome and Principe Coup Leaders to Return Power to Civilians
2003-07-17
Nigeria is trying to convince the leaders of the military coup in neighboring Sao Tome and Principe to return power to civilians. The two countries share ownership of rich oil reserves in the Gulf of Guinea.
Rebel soldiers in Sao Tome and Principe say Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo spoke with their leader, Major Fernando Pereira, Thursday about arranging for the visit of a Nigerian envoy.
The coup took place early Wednesday as Sao Tome President Fradique de Menezes was in Nigeria attending an economic summit.
Mr. Obasanjo addressed the summit later on Wednesday and added his voice to mounting international condemnation of the coup.
"May I express our heartfelt support for the president of Sao Tome and Principe who is here with us." he said. "In his absence some members of the armed forces attempted to seize power. We condemn such act in the strongest term possible and we advise the military adventurers to call off this dangerous action and hand over power to the elected president."
Nigeria has also warned the coup leaders against harming any of its citizens. In the capital Sao Tome, most civilians returned to normal activities on Thursday.
The rebellious soldiers have also given assurances they will not harm senior government officials. They say they are holding the officials in an air conditioned room.
Machine gun wielding mutineers met no resistance Wednesday when they took over all key government buildings as well as the airport.
The mutineers say they acted to save the tiny island state from social and economic decline. They accused the current elected leadership of being elitist and corrupt.
Sao Tome and Principe is one of the world's poorest countries, but studies suggest it may have vast oil deposits in its territorial waters.
Many foreign oil companies have already expressed interest in developing several oil blocks jointly owned by Sao Tome and Nigeria. The start of international bidding has sharpened political rivalries.
Sao Tome's elected government has insisted it needs international help to protect its oil interests. It has even invited the United States to set up a naval base on the islands.
Thursday, April 9th 1964. Soundless footage of President Julius Nyerere of Tanganyika welcoming officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the Nigerian Army when they paraded for him at State House in Dar-es-Salaam.
The Nigerian troops took the place of 600 British Marine Commandos who were called in to keep the peace following the Tanganyika Army mutiny in January.
President Nyerere inspected a Nigerian guard of honour and afterwards took the salute at a march past, led by the battalion's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Yakubu Pam.
Accompanying Mr Nyerere were the Tanganyika vice president, Mr Rashidi Kawawa; the Tanganyika Minister for External Affairs and Defence, Mr Oscar Kambona; and the Nigerian High Commissioner, Mr N.A.Martin.
Source: Reuters News.
Note: On April 26th 1964, Tanganyika joined with the People's Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The union was influenced by Julius Nyerere's principle of Ujamaa, a key component of which stressed the need for "territorial nationalism." The country was re-named Tanzania within a year of the union.
Tuesday, March 31st 1964. Footage of the first contingent of Nigerian peacekeeping troops arriving in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika (later Tanzania).
They were met at the airport by Mr. Ade Martins, the Nigerian High Commissioner to Tanganyika, members of the Tanganyika cabinet and the commander of the soon-to-depart British commandos.
Source: Reuters News Archive.
Note: The Nigerian troops took the place of 600 British Marine Commandos who were called in to keep the peace following the Tanganyika Army mutiny in January 1964. The Nigerian Army was given the role after an emergency meeting of the organisation of African Unity (OAU) in Dar-es-Salaam in February. The troops were members of the 3rd Battalion of the Nigerian Army commanded by Lt. Colonel Yakubu Pam.
Monday, September 21st 1964. Soundless footage of President Julius Nyerere of Tanganyika honouring the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the Nigerian Army at a farewell parade at State House in Dar-es-Salaam.
The battalion, which was led by Lieutenant Colonel Yakubu Pam, had taken over the policing role undertaken by British Royal Marine commandos in April. The British commandos were called in by the Tanganyikan government after the Tanganyikan army mutinied in January. The Nigerian Army was given the role after an emergency meeting of the organisation of African Unity (OAU) in Dar-es-Salaam in February.
During the assignment, Lieutenant Colonel Pam oversaw policing as well as training duties. On September 1st, 1,100 recruits for the new Tanganyikan Army completed a three-month training programme. Those soldiers, together with troops of the 2nd battalion Tanganyikan Rifles were expected to more than make up for the loss of the 1st Battalion which was disbanded after the mutiny.
The intention was that the Nigerian soldiers would be replaced after six months by another contingent of African soldiers from either Algeria or Ethiopia, but the Tanzanian authorities decided that this was no longer necessary.
During the ceremony, President Nyerere presented Lt. Col. Pam with ivory horns and the colonel returned the favour by presenting the president with a shield.
The Government of Benin made two requests and the Government of Nigeria approved.
The constitution permits the president to deploy troops, but he must send a request to the Nationap Assembly within 7 days, which he has done and the National Assembly approved the request today.
REPORT OF PURPORTED SHOOTING OF WOMEN PROTESTERS BY ESCORT TO BRIGADE COMMANDER, ABSOLUTELY FALSE
The attention of Headquarters 23 Brigade Nigerian Army has been drawn to a baseless report by the Sahara Reporters and some other online media published on Monday 8 December, 2025. The said report levelled unfounded and false allegations against the Brigade and its Commander.
Contrary to this allegation, Headquarters 23 Brigade wishes to state that the report is bereft of truth and therefore entirely misleading. It is nothing short of an attempt to smear the image of the Brigade and its Commander and by extension the Nigerian Army.
It is necessary to inform the general public that neither the Brigade Commander nor his escorts was at the scene of the communal clash as the Brigade Commander was participating virtually in the Chief of Army Staff’s weekly operational brief at the time of the purported shooting by his escorts.
Headquarters 23 Brigade wishes to set the record straight that combined troops of 23 Brigade Garrison, Nigerian Police Force, NSCDC and DSS received information about the communal clashes between Bachama and Chobo tribes of Lamurde LGA of Adamawa State at about 0135 hours ( 1:30 AM) of Monday, 8 December 2025.
The communal clash was as a result of the unresolved land disputes and ethnic acrimony between Chobo and Bachama tribes. Troops moved swiftly to the affected communities to return normalcy to the affected areas of Tingno, Rigange, Tito, Waduku and Lamurde.
In the course of its operations, a militia armed group suspected of fighting for one of the warring communities- Chobo attacked the troops .The troops, being a professional, adaptable and combat ready force decisively engaged the militia armed men in the fire fight. During the exchange of fire, troops neutralized 3 of the gunmen and forced other members of the militia group to flee the general area. The troops were able to put the clashes under control.
The troops and other security agencies later exploited the withdrawal route of the militia group, where an additional 5 neutralized members of the armed men were discovered with a motorcycle. Furthermore, the troops received a distress call that a warring community had mobilized to attack Lamurde Local Government's Secretariat.
While moving to secure the Secretariat, some women blocked the road to deny troops passage to the Secretariat while armed men suspected to be fighting for Bachama extraction fired indiscriminately within the community. Troops then created a passage and proceeded to the Local Government Secretariat ( LGS) to secure the area. At this point, no woman was shot or injured. Otherwise, troops would not have been allowed to find any passage through the crowd.
The troops were able to secure the Secretariat from the assailant. While stationed at the Local Government Lodge (LGL), 2 corpses of women were brought to the Lodge by the people of the community and alleged that they were killed by own troops.
Without equivocation, the casualties were caused by the unprofessional handling of automatic weapons by the local militias who are not proficiently trained to handle such automatic weapons.
Notwithstanding, the Brigade deeply sympathizes with the family of the slain women and urges the warring communities to embrace peace to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and destruction of properties.
The Brigade remains resolute and committed to the discharge of its constitutional duties in aid of civil authorities and will continue to apply due diligence as it conducts its operational engagements to ensure peace and stability in its Area of Responsibility.
Headquarters 23 Brigade urges the general public to kindly disregard the malicious report.
OLUSEGUN ABIDOYE Captain Acting Assistant Director Army Public Relations Sector 4 Operation Hadin Kai / 23 Brigade 9 December 2025
I wonder how many people will notice that there is no real difference between what the Nigerian Air Force said and what the Burkinabe authorities said.
The Burkinabes did not say that anybody was arrested, that was added by others. What they said was that a Nigerian plane violated their airspace and they were taking measures to protect the airspace.
The Nigerian Air Force said that the plane was forced to land due to an emergency and based on international aviation rules it landed at the nearest airfield.
Politics › Re: 5 Times Nigeria Intervened Against Coups In Other Countries by naptu2(op): 9:10am On Dec 10, 2025
