Was thinking the same thing. Apparently there are forces that don't want him to succeed likewise the new CDS and Service Chiefs. I mentioned here just few weeks ago I hope the dark forces that followed Gen. Attahiru to Maiduguri as Theater Commander didn't follow him to Army HQ As COAS. So much evil in the land, diabolism, injustice. Not ordinary. Nigerians will need to pray. God have mercy.

Some comments I dey always see, they always funny me

WTF man

The alpha jet is the workhorse of the NAF, in the course the 11 years insurgency, they've flown several thousand hours. How long until these few aircrafts reach their service span limit? What if they've actually passed it? Same as the beechcrafts.

Before now, we've had very little crash in the 11 years insurgency. If these series of crashes are due to poor maintenance culture, does that mean the lack of incidents in the last few years have been due to luck?

NAF pilots have one of the longest flight experience and training in Africa. So poor training is out of it. If it were training, we would have lost more than 10 within a year considering how frequently they fly.

Which social media are you talking about? Go Nairaland front page make you go see most people comments. I'm not on FB or Twitter, but the screenshot have been seeing, nah 50/50 thing.

For anyone to think that his appointment as COAS was through nepotism,that person needs his or her head checked

I think maintenance should also be ruled out cos this plans are been maintained regularly

I don't think the pilots are to be blamed. No one is talking about ground control. That plane landed off the runway. Don't we have runway lights to guide planes during storms?

The plane didn't land according to a former colleague who witnessed everything as he was taxing said the aircraft went into a spiral dive and crashed.
Kaduna airport has landing lights and ILS systems which are all functional. Wind sheer is the cause, experience or not wind shears are tricky, can’t dodge something you can’t really see with your eyes. Was it reported in METAR or TAF? Is another issue that should be investigated.
May God rest their souls

As for me, he does not deserve to be the COAS cause of his failure as a theatre commander.

Do you know that the IPOB once took the late COAS, General Ibrahim Attahiru, and 15 others to court for various human rights abuses including extrajudicial murder? General Attahiru, as commander of 82 Division Enugu, and overall commander of 302 Artillery Brigade, Onitsha, supervised the killing, torture and dehumanisation of many unarmed Biafran protesters.

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dragged the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, and 14 other Nigerian officials to a United States of America District Court over alleged complicity in the extra-judicial killings of its members.

IPOB alleged that the extra-judicial killings happened during protests over the arrest and detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Those dragged to the US court, aside Buratai and Idris are: Lawal Musa Daura; Ibrahim Attahiru; M.I. Ibrahim; Kasim Umar Sidi; Issah Maigari Abdullahi; former IGP Solomon Arase; Abia and Anambra state governors, Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano; Habila Hosea; Peter Nwagbara; James Oshim Nwafor; Hosea Karma; Bassey Abang and Johnson Babatunde Kokumo.

The suit was filed based on two US’ statutes; the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA or ATS – the Alien Tort Statute) and the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA).

Both laws have extra-territorial reach, meaning they allow US federal courts to assert long-arm jurisdiction which extends beyond the borders of US.

ATCA provides that ‘the district courts shall have original jurisdiction on any civil action by an alien (foreigner) for a civil wrong committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.’

Since 1980, courts have interpreted this statute to allow foreign citizens to seek remedies in US courts, for human rights violations and for conducts committed outside the US.

The TVPA of 1991 is a statute which permits civil suits in the US against foreign individuals who, acting in an official capacity for any foreign nation, committed torture and/or extra-judicial killings.

In the suit, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the banned group’s lawyers argued that “the case is convincing.

“Beyond the latest processes, and at the ensuing trial, Buratai, Ikpeazu, Obiano and others, will be required to personally appear before the US court to testify under oath and cross-examination that will dwell on the details…

Abia and Anambra, according to IPOB, filed a counter-motion to the suit on February 6.

DLD this one really at this time don't deserve my retort but perhaps for once mind your own business. No two persons are the same so while this may be funny to you which is strange and says a lot about your reasoning it might not be funny to other people. Gush, if it was nostalgic or anything else I'd take you seriously myself but alas I don't, how could I when in your mind it makes sense everyday to wake up scavenging Sahara reporters and other worthless leaflets for bad news on Nigeria like there is no bad news from elsewhere. If we all decide to be like you we would all find bad news from New York alone to fill these pages everyday not to talk of the whole US, UK, Germany, France, Europe generally, China etc. But alas you see we are not all like you.

There are palpable reasons to be worried at the events in Nigeria like this tragic incident and to sit down and look at what can be done to mitigate these disasters not play to the gallery.

EricBraven:

What if it went of the run way,after landing

It didn't. It crashed land after an attempted landing on the runway. It didn't even touched down. I swear. I would only fly turboprop during basic flight training. Those things are really vulnerable during storms,bird strikes e.t.c. The exposed propellers makes it too vulnerable

[quote author=ugo4u post=101945101][/quote]
Damn. We can't rule out fuel shortage. It was meant to land at NAF base but changed destination to kaduna airport. Seems it was flying around the airport waiting for clearance to land through the storm. It might had run out of fuel or engine failure. There are just too many pieces of this puzzle

We were all here when former CAS abubakar was maintaining our aircrafts. This is not maintenance related. It was an accident

Mtcheww

Trash!! I stop reading after I failed to understand your point

Should I be crying about Attahiru or what? Is Attahiru my family member or what? Do you know the number of people that were killed extra judiciary under his watch as the GOC of 82 Division?

Abegi jawe. Thousands of Nigerians don die since this year started. IPOB members have been shot dead for doing nothing, except protesting, how many time you don come here to mourn for them?
Protesters have been shot dead for protesting in Lagos and Kaduna, their only sin is that they protested. The Nigerian army even deny his men where in lekki on that night at first.

All this shitty talk of someone taking out Attahiru because of some nonexistent things he is doing is just nothing but a dumb and fool!sh talk.

Now, make I see maybe your next senseless rant go make sense to me

And all this yama yama post about me bringing random source like Sahara reporter, is Sahara reporter not a legit news media outlet? There are news here with funny source, but you no lament.

So when ever I post a verified news from Sahara reporter, I can see you dey always feel bad about it Well I will keep on posting more and more verified security news from Sahara reporter on this thread. If you don't like it, you can kill yourself.

When an i.diot tells you news from Sahara reporters is legit you know his intelligence quotient is abysmal. These are the foo.ls without critical thinking to sift what is sound journalism from sensationalism and personal opinions motivated by hatred, sectionalism, tribalism and political affiliations.

During a media chat with a foreign news organisations, the reporter was trying to show GMB videos of unarmed IPOB members that were been shot dead by military and mobile policemen, GMB didn't even look at the video.

IGP don talk say make police start to dey kill IPOB members anywhere they are found, is Attahiru life more important than those life's?

Abegi jawe.

That man was killed extra judicial in Owerri few days ago by a police man. The IGP don tell policemen to kill people anyhow in the east, nothing will happen to them even if the case is bought to him.

People don post news from very funny source on this thread. In fact, person go sit down for him house dey tell you say him source for military dey talk so so so thing.

The Nigerian military is more terrible than Sahara reporter in terms of posting fake news sef. We all saw the way they denied they were not in lekki, or posting old pic calling it recent victory against Boko haram.

The wind was really strong right before it started raining. Unfortunately, it just started all of a sudden.

Only a foo.l would pick up arms against the state especially when he knows there's no chance of success. So belligerents would shoot and kill in most cases unarmed servicemen, attack police stations which is a symbol of state authority and those responsible are expected to be given a pat on the back. You get what you asked for. Only a foo.l would listen to another foo.l who won't offer himself for combat rather hiding in Europe and asking others to go die for something that he is not will to die himself. You attack the state you die simple.

You're always talking like a f00l!sh person. If police men and military men have not been killing unarmed IPOB members, there won't have been any justification for creating ESN. And Nnamdi Kanu have said UGM is not part of IPOB you du.mb fvvck.

Where were you when the army were killing IPOB members on the street of Oyigbo?

Well, security personnel are also getting what they wished for in the south east and south south.

DLD is evidently high on something always when he is posting thrash. This DLD of all people I can boldly tell you would not try this nonsense he's advocating wherever he thinks he somebody abroad. Those people would place him where he belongs and remind him he is not one of them if he so much as try this sort of nonsense. Nnamdi Kanu would not so much as try this rubbish he's advocating in Nigeria in the UK. Let me tell Nigerians the truth if they try it their Passports can be confiscated and they would be told to find their way because they swore to those laws.

It's only in Nigeria you see brigandage and expect to be fetted. No I'll not stand for nonsense. Two wrongs don't make a right. That Buhari most of us don't like is there because he played good politics so much that many of us today got him there but regretting it.

The igbos played bad politics and elections have consequences. They should never have supported Jonathan because even if he won it would take many more years for power to come to the South but rather what they would eat was more important to them than power itself, well see it now. There would be no IPOB if an Igbo man was in power. Its just nonsense.

After the press release, there was another press release saying the man was not a police man. You can also search for it too.

IPOB have been protesting peacefully all this while, the Nigerian military and police will harras, arrest, torture and kill their members for no reason. Where in the world can such a thing be accepted?

Hundreds of IPOB members have been killed extra judiciary before the creation of ESN.

Imagine if Spanish government do unleash soldiers and policemen on cataluyans. Or make a Spanish police chief talk the kin talk wey the daft IGP talk.

The English have more right to hold on to the Scottish people, but they made them have a referendum. They didn't send soldiers and policemen to kill Scottish protesting peacefully.

But for Nigeria, Police and soldiers go unleash hell on peaceful IPOB protesters for no sensible reason. We saw videos and pictures of what happened in Oyigbo.

Kanu don talk say dem go kill his men, his men will also kill security personnel... So make we see who go get the upper hand at the end

That's not the man on the pic I posted. I don't also trust the Nigerian Police the way some people don't trust Sahara reporter on this thread.

You can believe whatever catches your fancy.

I will rather trust my own source.

I won't reply foo.ls on my mention, never!

It was a literary statement that the demons that followed Attahiru to Maiduguri shouldn't follow him to Abuja but person wey no go school no fit comprehend that one who is to blame him.

The biggest foo.l on nairaland DLD wants people to take him serious when its evident from his posts from searching out bad news to post from Sahara reporters (who even does that except maybe a jobless youth collecting welfare abroad with free wifi) that he is biased and demented. I mean this guy is brain sick.

So we can't find bad news elsewhere but no we have to read it on a military thread. Where is the ban. We cannot tolerate a guy who wants to spit on the sacrifices of our fighting men.

Major General Nicholas didn't succeed either in the North-East. To me he failed. I touted him to be appointed but I also acknowledged he wasn't too good and advocated his removal as well. When then Major General Attahiru was appointed I gave him the benefit of the doubt but well the man was bedevilled from day one, suicide bombings went through the roof but he brought about the innovative MSTs just its effect in the field took too long and I also in 3 months said he was incompetent but with the benefit of hindsight he should have stayed to oversee what he started which present day commanders are using. DLD has no sense to see the literary thought behind that statement. Well now that man has died in an air crash whether by natural design or not it's clear his command has being bedeviled with ills. What's so incongruous about that to be funny.

Only a foo.l in DLD would look up educated minds on Nairaland and tell us UGM is not ESN. No apparently they are ghosts. Nnamdi Kanu is IPOB and IPOB is ESN which he openly endorses their actions and should be held responsible alongside people like DLD who are active accomplices but I bet you this coward DLD is no where to be found he will shi.t his pants and yet advocate for cops to be killed. I'd.iot DLD.

Igbo socio-political group, Ohanaeze, and the Indigenous People of Biafra have kicked against the resumption of airstrikes in Imo State by security operatives.

There was panic in Imo state on Friday as security operatives resumed airstrikes in the state.

The military bombardment was reported to have been initiated against those terrorising the state.

The airstrikes, which took place in Amuzi and Odenkwume communities in the Ihitte/Uboma Local Government Area and some neighbouring communities in the Ihitte/Uboma LGA of the state caused the natives to flee their homes.

An indigene of the area said, “There is an ongoing military airstrike in Odenkwume and Amuzi communities in Obowo and their neighbouring communities in Ihitte/Uboma LGA.

“They have continued to attack the communities in search of gunmen suspected to be ESN (Eastern Security Network) members, thereby putting the people of the area in fear.

“Just a few minutes ago, I got a call from my brother and other family members to inform me of what is going on in my community. There is a heavy downpour now that a temporarily suspended airstrike continued in Odenkwume Odenkwume.”When contacted, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Abutu Yaro, told Saturday PUNCH that he knew nothing about military activities.

The CP said, “I don’t know anything about military activities in the state. I only know that of the police.”

Efforts to get the comments of the spokesperson for the 34 Artillery Brigade Command, Obinze, Owerri, Babatunde Zubairu, proved abortive. Though he promised to get back to our correspondent, he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

But the spokesperson for Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Alex Ogbenna, told our correspondent that it was against the ongoing military operations in the South-East, saying there was no peculiar reason for a concentrated military operation in the zone.According to Ogbenna, the insecurity in the South-East and the South-South zones is not different from what is happening in the North-East and other parts of the country.

He said, “There is nothing special happening in the South-East and the South-South zones that is peculiar, compared to what is happening in other parts of the country.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo has already issued a press statement on this that we are against the arrest of our youths without any justifiable reason by the military.”Also, the Indigenous People of Biafra kicked against the military airstrikes, saying the Federal Government has declared war on Biafra by resuming its military operations in the South-East.

The proscribed group stated this in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, which was made available to Saturday PUNCH on Friday.

The statement read in part, “Just two days ago, the Inspector General of Police, while launching a special police operation for the South-East called Operation Restore Peace, in Enugu, confirmed the people’s fears when he asked police personnel not to wait for any other special order before they start killing protesters and anyone confronting them in the zone.He specifically directed them to ensure they eliminate anybody suspected to be a Biafran agitator or IPOB member, and not to bother bringing them to police stations anymore.

“There are so many security challenges in the North where the rampaging Boko Haram terrorists and bandits have seized the control of many communities and the local government areas, yet there is no shoot-on-sight order declared by the double-faced Buhari-led Federal Government. South-East and South-South are not at war with anybody but Fulani terrorists supported by the Nigerian government brought war into our land, killing innocent people while pointing accusing fingers at IPOB members and ESN operatives.”
