I've been there, and equally worked there as a field engineer. I must say that the Gembu mountain wall is one of Nigeria's hidden treasures. It's extremely cold as the weather there is what you'll obtain in a temperate region (Europe), but the scenic view is mind blowing.
BabaOwen: A combined team of military, police and Air Force personnel has raided the camps of the Eastern Security Network linked to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra in the Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State, The PUNCH can authoritative report.
The PUNCH investigation on Sunday revealed that the camp of the ESN operatives located inside the thick forest in Udah village, Orsu LGA of the state, had been taken over by the military.
An investigation by The PUNCH revealed that the combined military operation which led to the capture of the ESN camp in Udah village was led by a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, who is the leader of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team from the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The source said, “Abba Kyari has been in the state since. He is here on the order of the Inspector General of Police to flush out ESN from Imo State. This is the second week of his operation in the state.”
Our correspondent gathered that Kyari, who led the team to the forest on Friday, met a very stiff resistance from very prepared ESN operatives.
According to our correspondent’s investigation, it took the intervention of the arrival of military men, who came through the air late in the night for the ESN operatives to be subdued.
The source said, “The Abba Kyari team exhausted their strength and asked for help from the military. By the time the military could mobilise and come through the air in the night, the ESN operatives had vacated the camp, which is located in a valley.”
It was also revealed that by the time the security agents accessed the camp, no single ESN operative was seen.
“The team, by the time they had access to the camp, couldn’t find any ESN operative. They only found a fish pond, a generator, mattresses, cooking utensils and clothes,” the source said. Meanwhile, the Imo State Government has confirmed the arrest of white garment church worshippers in the ongoing clashes between the military and personnel of the Eastern Security Network linked to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra around Orlu-Orsu axis of the state.
The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Cyprian Akaolisa, in a press conference in Owerri, the state capital, said that the arrest of the white garment church worshippers were based on security intelligence.
Akaolisa said some of the white garment church premises were being used as camps for the ESN operatives in the areas.
superior1: Yah, Ngozi as super minister under Jonathan was a disaster. I hope she does better work at WTO
Please how was she a "disaster"? It was under her watch as the Coordinating Minister of the Economy that Nigeria recorded it's fastest growth rate till date. It was under her watch that Nigeria scored it's best result in the 2014 Transparency International's CPI report. It was under her watch that Nigeria was listed as a member of the MINT nation. Most of all, under her watch, there was a reasonable level of hope in our economy.
My neighbour, a widow with 3 kids had her shop looted to the core somewhere on Bode Thomas street, Surulere during the October protests. She was completely devastated and cried all day. Apparently, she got a loan from RenMoney to boost the business. Her loan has been liquidated and her business back to normal, thanks to the good Neighbours she has.
Do I still want her shop looted again? No.
Lagos is a very volatile terrain. Any massive protest will eventually degenerate into chaos and mass looting.
Let us have sense, please.
What's the essence of the new protest, by the way?
What happened to your neighbor was truly unfortunate. But I hope you know that the #EndSARS protest itself did not cause that violent riot. Rather it was the high-handed action of the military and the police who opened fire on peaceful protesters at the Lekki Tollgate that instigated the whole terrible mess that occurred across the country.
Love him or hate him, Mr. Macaroni was out there protesting for a better Nigeria. But this is why I say this country is NOT worth fighting or dying for . Even fellow Nigerians are laughing at him, yet we all face the same terrible hardships in this country. Anyway, let the suffering, poor governance, police brutality, and corruption continue.
seunmsg: No time for nonsense. They indulged them so much the last time and we all saw the disastrous outcome. Never again will that kind of kindness destruction be allowed in Lagos.
You seem to have forgotten that the last peaceful protest degenerated to that disastrous outcome when the security services opened fire on the peaceful ENDSARS protest.
Based on the comments, one thing is certain: Nigeria is not worth fighting/dying for. What's the point? I say let the Police brutality and bad governance continue, no more complaints.
'not impressed AT ALL! No offense, but Abia State, and Aba, one of this nation's greatest commercial hub, has been done a great disservice multiple times by its political elites regardless of political affiliation, and it pains me deeply even though I'm not an indigene of the state (Akwa Ibom). Even Aba can be smelt from afar as it's a major refuse dump. The fact that people still work and hustle through this rubbish is frankly a testament to the enterprising and go-getter spirit of the Igbos regardless of the challenges faced. But the leadership in Abia State MUST wake up to their responsibilities.
Whoube99: Says who If a retired head of state is entitle to just two security detail, who is brutai to have 9 security detail Is brutai the first COAS How many did the late Alex Baddeh had as a former COAS when he retired
He is entitled to far more than 2 . An Officer PA, a house orderly, another orderly, and an escort team.
triple996: Bros taxes are collected everywhere in the world. Britain,russia, even in America citizens are taxed. It's only in Nigeria that we see tax by a specific government as a form of wickedness
At least those countries see value for the taxes they pay. What of we seen here in Nigeria?
Okay....and how has that helped the nation? Our infrastructure is still in a sorry state of disrepair, healthcare is laughable, education.....hmmm....and security absolutely terrible. So, how has the increased VAT helped apart from inflicting more pain on businesses?
Over a decade ago, the Americans were able to knock out an observation satellite from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). That's about 600-700+ meters from the earth's surface. It was frankly very impressive and displayed America's military might.
Many years later, the Chinese military destroyed a defunct communication satellite from Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO). That's a WHOPPING 30,000+ km from the earth surface. If that doesn't tell you the Chinese had arrived a long time ago, well...
martineverest: where is China when it comes to deep learning, quantum computing etc?.....the fact that Google,apple,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft are american companies,China can never match USA when it comes to tech
Bros, China leads in quantum computing as theirs is way faster than Google's. That's a HUGE leap.
Bialegend: See how the illiterate fulanis divided these foolish brother and they are now talking about who is from CRS and who is from Akwa Ibom. These are one family people, supposedly educated that should know better, but are here abusing themselves because the illiterate fulanis made them so. All you fools should know that Biafra will solve this problem of CRS and Akwa Ibom bickering. In Biafra, there will no longer be borders between both of you. Same in every other regions of Biafra.
Biko, what brought Biafra into this case? How about you solve the infrastructural deficit in your region, Aba in particular, before you delve into this little online CRS-AKS spat that will fizzle out? Funny thing, you're the clown that's trying to fan the embers of the flames between both brothers.
To my CRS brother, bros AKS stole absolutely nothing from you. That said, oil is becoming nothing. CRS has absolutely all it takes to prosper. From tourism to agriculture and so on. And it will prosper.
