*TROOPS NEUTRALISE SCORES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS AND RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS*

Nigerian Army troops deployed in Chibok under 28 Task Force Brigade of Sector 1 Operation LAFIYA DOLE have neutralised scores of Boko Haram terrorists in an ambush along Chibok - Damboa axis of Borno state.

The troops achieved the feat while acting on credible intelligence that some remnants of insurgents were fleeing due to the intensity of troops' operations in Sambisa Forest.
The gallant troops laid ambush, engaged and overwhelmed the criminals with aggressive firepower, neutralising 9 terrorists in the process while several others escaped with fatal gunshot wounds. The troops also recovered 7 AK 47 Rifles and freed 3 kidnapped victims.

Similarly in another encounter, troops of 28 Task Force Brigade located in Askira equally laid a successful ambush along Askira - Chibok Main Supply Route (MSR) and neutralized 39 terrorists.

In the course of the encounter, troops successfully rescued
8 kidnapped victims from the terrorists. Unfortunately however, one of the kidnapped victims sustained injury to his leg while in the hands of his abductors. He has since been conveyed to a military medical facility for immediate treatment. During the operations, troops recovered another 8 AK 47 Rifles with 4 magazines, among other items.

The gallant troops are presently dominating the area with aggressive patrols and are equally on a trail of fleeing terrorists in order to locate and neutralise them.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru appreciated the gallantry and dexterity of the troops and urged them to remain dogged and maintain their offensive posture in all operations until the area is rid of all remnants of terrorists. He equally appreciated members of the public for their continuous support to the troops and enjoined them to continue to provide credible information to the troops and other security agencies operating within their localities.

You are please requested to disseminate this information through your medium for the awareness of the general public. Thank you for your usual support and cooperation.

ISWAP have blown off Some Maiduguri transmission poles again after it was fixed 72hrs ago.

Sincerely the Governor just have to reach out to them for leniency.

We can’t send military to guard transmission poles on Maiduguri-Damaturu highway

SuperSixSeven:
I asked you to elaborate a bit in the connection between religious extremism and marxism. You havent answered that yet.

The killing of priests, burning of churches and killing of Christians by marxists isn't religious extremism?

Valkrie:
All these you mentioned are not terrorist groups nah bros but rather formed to combat the islamic terrorism when the government failed to protect them..haba..make una try dey do research small before coming to the public space

So niger delta militants, Eastern security network, the lord resistance army, antibalaka movement are not terrorists groups

The Christian militant groups arent terrorists, according to the state, they are terrorists.

this discussion has twisted your brain beyond savage.

terrorism and militancy are two different things.
Niger delta militancy came as a result of neglect from the Govt and they had a good reason to protest in arms.

Boko Haram and other terrorist groups wants everyone to accept their religion and ideologies.
They rain terror on innocent people and blow themselves up. and they fight because their Allah commanded them to.

the seleke rebels were only protecting themselves from Muslim terrorists.

only LRA can be described as a terrorist group.

is Ipob a terrorist group?

98% if the terror groups anywhere in the world are Muslims.

I know you're just trying to defend Islam.

Terrorists are also militants and they carry out terrorism.


All terrorists are fighting for a cause. They are fighting against injustice.

Once you destroy government infrastructures, take up arms and kill people and military men, you are a terrorists whether you wear islamic robe or wear Western clothes.

Don't forget niger delta militants aka terrorists were the first to do a bomb blast in Nigeria.

Below is the definition of terrorism and militancy.....every group carrying arms in Nigeria have carry out terrorism

Militancy. It is use of violent methods in support of a social cause.

Terrorism. It is using violence against civilians to intimidate them for supporting the established government of an area.

SuperSixSeven:
Christian militants only exist in your mind. Your writing is an attempt to grossly trivialize global Islamic terrorism that we are facing here in this country. Shame on you!

Can you even name any of those Christian militants you are talking about?

And will you please elaborate on the connection between religious terrorism and marxism? Last i time i read Marx i learned that marxism is an ideology that strongly emphasized atheism.

KONY of UGANDA

Mehn, I feel my love for the Nigerian military going back to where it was as a child!

These new service chiefs are giving me so much joy back to back.

See press statement from the Army abeg:
1. Neutralized in an ambush
2. Acting on credible intelligence
3. Fleeing due to the intensity of Sambisa ops
4. Engaged and overwhelmed THE CRIMINALS with aggressive firepower
5. Escaped with fatal gunshot wounds.
I no lie e for sweet pass if dem off ALL for there sha!
6. Recovered AK-47s and freed kidnap victims
7. Dominating the area on aggressive patrols
8. Trailing fleeing terrorists to locate and neutralise them

Wawu, and it was 2 simultaneous ops!

BH, ISWAP and co, this is just the Attahiru course you are seeing!

Well, they say dine like a king for breakfast so I guess una go belleful first before trying to attempt Courses Amao and Gambo!

Ohh I forgot, General Leo is there to serve them all 3 as a bowl of hot assorted

Awon BH oo, awon ISWAP o, awon ESN o, awon Avengers o and all the other members of the illegal "alphabet soup" in Nigeria, my own 2 Kobo to una is that I see that the new service chiefs and their CDS REALLY mean business.

Make una reconsider una ways, so una families go remain complete.

For those that are not agitating for 72 virgins of course!

Those ones, I'm sure the bokoto, ponmo and shaki (SBS, AFSF, NA SF forces) in the bowl of Gen Leo's assorted will gladly fix them an appointment with the virgins.

Note: you might not get the 72 as promised )







OGAs, ABEG make una no fall my hand after all the hype o!

I'm not the typical Nigerian that can pretend there is no improvement when there clearly is, and the military is on that happy path in the BH and anti banditry operations with the new chiefs.

I mean when last did the Army call these criminals what they really are?

I pray for all our sakes that they can sustain this present aggressive tempo.

IPOB Members arrested for unprovoked killings of security operatives
NigeriaPoliceForce Mar 28, 2021 10:06 AM
• No murderer will go unpunished…we are closing up on them, says IGP. 





Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested sixteen (16) suspects for complicity in a series of violent and unprovoked attacks on security operatives and facilities in some states of the Federation, particularly in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. The arrest, which is an outcome of painstaking, deliberate and tireless efforts by operatives of the Nigeria Police working in collaboration with their counterparts from the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Airforce is aimed at bringing to justice persons responsible for the emerging trend of attacks on security personnel and wanton destruction of security facilities and operational assets. 



The suspects - Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, 28-year-old native of Arochukwu LGA in Abia State; Raphael Idang, 31-year-old native of Odukpani LGA of Cross River state; Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka ‘Alewa’, 60-years-old native of Orlu in Imo State; Michael Uba, 33yrs from Imo State; and twelve (12) others in the course of investigation, were implicated in multiple felonies committed across several states in the South-Eastern part of the Federation. The suspects were arrested in various parts of the country following sustained, and intelligence-driven sting operations. 

Police investigations clearly established and linked the suspects to several incidents of attacks and murder of security personnel as well as stealing, unlawful possession of firearms, arson and malicious damage to operational assets of military and law enforcement agents.





Specifically, investigations revealed that the duo of Ugochukwu Samuel aka Biggy and Raphael Idang were among the criminal elements that attacked policemen on duty at a checkpoint on 24th December, 2020 along Orlu-Ihiala Road in Imo state where two police officers were killed and a Police Hilux patrol van set ablaze. In addition, both were part of a larger group that attacked a police reconnaissance team on 13th January, 2021 killing one police officer. Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, who sustained a bullet wound during an attack by his gang on a military convoy in which some soldiers were killed and weapons carted away, was subsequently arrested while receiving treatment in a hospital. Both suspects confessed to being active members of IPOB and ESN. 

Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa, a pastor with the Holy Blessed Trinity Sabbath Church, Orlu, Imo State and Michael Uba, a prophet with the Association of Jewish Faith, who were also arrested, are two of the masterminds of the various attacks on security personnel, in addition to providing spiritual cover for the gang. Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa’s house was used by the gang members to plan their nefarious operations. He also donated his late brother’s farmland for use as a hideout and training camp for the gang. 




A total of nine (9) AK47 rifles, five (5) other sophisticated firearms, seventeen (17) AK47 Magazines, 549 AK47 live ammunition, 10 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), camouflage bullet proof vests, walkie talkies and other incriminating items were recovered from the suspects. 

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has reiterated that the Force will not tolerate any further attack on its personnel or any citizen by any individual or group under any guise whatsoever. He assures that Law Enforcement Agents have gathered sufficient intelligence on the attackers and are closing up on scores of suspects already implicated in the attacks either directly or indirectly for financing, aiding and abetting the criminals. He stresses that no murderer will go unpunished. The IGP enjoins parents/guardians as well as traditional/opinion leaders to weigh in and prevail on their children/wards to desist from towing the destructive paths of crime. 

All the suspects will be charged to

Regarding the issue of attacks on power lines, a simple solution is to establish a deterent. Next time they blow up a power line, the military should attack them where it will hurt them the most(maybe some of their top camps : with or without humamshields) no matter the cost and consequences. Let them know that there is a certain line they should be wary of crossing unless they are ready to pay the price in full. Same goes for bandits kidnapping school kids. Next time it is done, whichever bandit group the crime is traced to, the forest surrounding their camps should be burned alongside everyone and everything inside. If we don't get extreme when they do the unthinkable, only logistical constraints will be stopping them from improving and increasing attacks. There is need to establish fear to prevent them from doing certain things and then gradually increase the events when this "no holds barred" policy will be used(for example they should know there will be a great price to pay when they attack supercamps, then later on extend it to when they ambush troops).

There are some countries where it is considered a suicide to kill or even attack a law enforcement officer. The colleagues will get you at all cost and finish you in a far more brutal way than you can ever imagine. They will make sure you don't see the inside of a court room .

U are one twisted person. U said the govt should reach out to BH for leniency ... Who says trash like that.

Valkrie:
Bros we are discussing about terrorist here who kill in the name of some God....and non of these groups you mentioned are terrorists killing people aimlessly in the name of God...!!

I have a question sir...How do u describe the bandit in other part of the country,
They the bandit say they do what they do for money and if course neglect from govt.but mind u,some of these bandits ain't even Nigerians hence FG owes them nothing, and yet u see scholars going to the bandits and preaching hypocrisy around .. would u still refer to them as Islamic bandit or just bandit ...
In another vein, would u refer to ipob, which by Nigeria's definition is a terrist organisation. ESN and co as just terrorist or I beg ur pardon Christian terrorist...
What I observed is, when bad pple who are Muslims carry out an act, we immediately ascribe it to Islam, but when other groups not being Muslims carry our usurpation against govt, we can them milatants freedom fighters and rest...

GeneralFarouq:
U are one twisted person. U said the govt should reach out to BH for leniency ... Who says trash like that.

Baba take it easy

That’s the only way forward for now. In fact that has always been the way. Even ISWAP has never touched the light leading to Gubio-Damasak to Niger

...

BH attacked DABANGA, a village around kousseri leading to the intervention of the BIR.
Results: 1 BIR killed, several BH fighters killed, 5 bodies counted but guess they carried their wounded and dead bodies away.
5 pickup retrieved with several weapons also collected.

Troops of Operation Tura Takaibango today killed scores of insurgents on the fringes of Sambisa forest, the troops laid a successful ambush on BokoHaram fighters. Weapons were recovered, the COAS has congratulated the troops for their gallantry
