Dikwa under Attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No fewer than 30 people were on Sunday night killed in renewed bandit attacks on two villages in Zamfara state.

The affected villages were Askawa and Gidan Dannunu in the Zurmu Local Government Area of the state. SaharaReporters gathered that the gunmen carted away sheep, cows and goats after burning barns as well as looting food items. Deadly attacks have raged across Zamfara state where bandits have thrived.

Farming and herding communities in the state have long been terrorised by gangs who raid villages, steal cattle and kidnap residents for ransom.

In 2019, the state government entered a peace agreement with gunmen.

About 15 brand new Hilux vehicles and cash gifts were also given to leaders of different 'repentant' gangs of bandits by the governor in 2020.

But despite all these, communities in the state are still being attacked and residents kidnapped and/or killed.

Supposedly Twitter spreads fake news and is a threat to Nigerian security. How is that possible when most online news in Nigeria is NOT shared via Twitter?

Twitter Is a threat to the gov't because it is the most intellectually stimulating and highly interactive social media platform in Nigeria (used to be nairaland), where propagandists meet their Waterloo because everything you post will be scrutinized alphabet by alphabet by any random person. It is a slaughter house for gov't backed propaganda. As Garba Shehu, Bashir, Lauretta Onochie or Adeshina etc dey drop lamba people are waiting in ambush with receipts.

Which one be this now oga, na tribla talk we dey yarn for now

Three days after about fifteen residents of Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo state were killed, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde visited the scene of the massacre.

Makinde, who was lamented the level of destruction in the community, called on the Federal Government to permit governors in the South-West to equip Amotekun Corps with sophisticated weapons, such as AK-47, to tackle rising insecurity, especially banditry and kidnapping in the geo-political zone.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that some gunmen numbering about 100, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, invaded Igangan community, killing people and burning residents.

Makinde made the disclosure in the keynote address that he presented at the opening of the two-day 2021 Governor Seyi Makinde National Democracy Summit, with the theme: 'The Future of Democracy in Nigeria,' held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.

The governor, who said he took responsibility for the incident, however, expressed frustration with the challenges being faced by governors who are called chief security officers of their states but lack the required power.

He said: "With what happened at Igangan, the people can hold me responsible for letting them down and when I go there, I will take responsibility because those killings were really needless. Even though I continue to take responsibility for the security situation in Oyo State, we all know that, in reality, the Commissioner of Police has to wait for orders from 'above' before taking specific actions to benefit the local population.

"So, looking at the federal security agencies here in Oyo State, they have to get clearance from the Federal government. We will continue to do our best. Here in the South West, we were able to kickstart Amotekun. But even with Amotekun, people ask how the killings happened. Were they not there? But we have several limitations to what Amotekun can do and even the firearms they can carry.

"You have dane guns and you are faced with people carrying AK-47. If it is in terms of investment, if we are given the authority, I will also buy AK-47s for Amotekun, if given the licence."

"State policing is a sure cure to our national development challenges. Anyone who has been involved in security at any level will tell you that policing is local. One of the reasons why the Western Nigeria Security Network, code-named Amotekun, is recording success is because members of the corps are drawn from the locality. They know the terrain and so can gather needed intelligence. Also, they can be held accountable by the local people because they know them.

"So, when state governors become the actual chief security officers in charge of the security personnel in their states, they can quickly respond to security challenges."

Makinde noted further that "we are the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but our federalism exists in name only. Students of political history will tell you that what we have been practising is, in fact, a unitary system of government - where more powers are concentrated in the central government. Another thing that our political theorists will tell you is that by nature, a unitary system of government is better suited for small countries.

"Nigeria is not a small country. So, you can easily identify why we are experiencing developmental challenges across the board. We are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. For true federalism to thrive, the federating units should have more powers and autonomy. The government at the centre serves as a coordinator of assets but does not wield as much power."

The summit was also graced by dignitaries including former governor of Edo State, Prof Oserheimen Osunbor; former Minister of State for Agriculture, Otunba Bamidele Dada; Director General, Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), Prof Eghosa Osaghae; President of Apex Yoruba self-determination group, Prof Banji Akintoye; Secretary-General, Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), Dr. Kunle Olajide; and former deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Obadiah Mailafia.

No excuse should be giving for the NA not to make a bill that will make state interested in creating state police to create it, any states that feel they are not capable and not yet ready to create state police should keep on relying on the Federal police. Nigeria was not ready to have a military when we became an independent country z but we had one. Nigeria is not even ready to have a Police Force at all, but we have one.

Is time for states to be giving the chance to create state police. State police will lead to the end of fulani heardsmen in Benue, Oyo and other states of the federation.

Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), says security agencies were informed of the killings in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State over a week before the attack but nothing was done.

At least 11 persons were killed during the attack on Igangan on Sunday, according to the police although residents claim about 20 persons were murdered.

Also, vehicles and buildings including the Palace of the Asigangan of Igangan Town and a filling station were torched.

In a statement on Tuesday titled, ‘Halt the Brutal Killing of Unarmed People in Igangan’, Falana said the security agencies had repeatedly failed to prosecute those killing, raping and kidnapping innocent residents.

The statement read in part, “We have been reliably informed that the security agencies in Oyo State have repeatedly failed to prosecute suspects arrested by the people of Igangan for kidnapping, rape and other heinous crimes.

“From the information at our disposal, security agencies were alerted last week of the planned attack on the people of Igangan by a gang of bandits. But as no pre-emptive action was taken, the assailants struck and brutally killed about 20 people while properties worth hundreds of millions of naira were destroyed.

“The members of the Amotekun security outfit who were armed with dane guns were unable to repel the AK 47 bearing bandits.”

The senior advocate called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to take urgent steps to halt the killing of unarmed people and the destruction of properties.

He also called on youths in the community to set up a defence committee to provide security for the people.

Falana added, “For the umpteenth time, we are compelled to call on the Buhari administration to take urgent and decisive steps to halt the barbaric killing of unarmed people and the destruction of their properties. In particular, a team of mobile police personnel should be permanently stationed in Igangan.

“However, since the Federal Government is overwhelmed by the worsening insecurity in the country, we call on the youths in the Igangan community to set up a defence committee to provide security for the people. The defence committee should be trained by the police and then equipped with arms and ammunition as well as tracking devices.”

Kinda came across this disturbing video of destroyed MRAPs and APCs whilst the soldiers in the video are lamenting and considering the destruction to Albanawi. Is this a verified incident? Late or recent?

Date aside, the soldiers in that base simply abandoned their positions and the terrorists had field day burning those equipment. How else can a base with tanks, MRAPs APCs and so on be destroyed like that? Where are the bodies of the soldiers killed in the attack, it is very obvious the attack had just happened when the soldier was recording, some of the equipments were still smoking yet no bodies. The video is of poor quality so we can't see blood stains.
Did the terrorist attack with anti-tank missiles?
Even if some of the equipments are in poor working conditions, they still provide the troops lots of advantage over the terrorists attacking with only gun trucks.
No doubt, the equipments are outdated, that isn't a reasonable excuse, are are fighting guntrucks, soft skin Toyota hilux! The same innoson vehicles ISWAP is capturing and putting to good use against them. Even the first generation of tanks will comfortably take out guntrucks.
The maintenance culture of the army as a body is very bad but even if some of these soldiers are given the most recent equipments, they will not do basic maintenance and check up before using. Common sense will tell you to inspect your vehicle before using everyday. Any engine will overheat if you don't maintain it, especially those of heavy equipment plying very long routes. Engineering corps won't come and do basic maintenance for you in the field.
The only thing I can take from the video is that the soldiers are tired of fighting and looking for excuses to leave. NA should reduce the duration their soldiers use in the Frontline to start with. The longer they use, the more rusty and unwilling they become.

And if it is a recent attack, we will hear about it soon enough. But a propagandist will use anything available to him to disseminate propaganda.
