NAVY TO ESTABLISH TWO NEW OPERATIONAL BASES IN CROSS RIVER AS AYADE RECEIVES CNS

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo says the Nigerian Navy is set to establish an outpost at Ikang and a naval security station at Dayspring Island.

Both locations are in the Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River which shares maritime boundary with the Republican of Cameroon.

Speaking Thursday during a courtesy call on the state governor, Professor Ben Ayade at the Executive Chamber of the Governor's Office, Calabar, Vice Admiral Gambo explained that the move has become necessary "because we are aware of the security situation in the state- cultists, kidnappers and other criminal elements- and to that effect, it has been part of our strategic plan and I think it is expedient that speedily we establish outpost and security station in these locations so that we can improve our security architecture in the state and of course, secure our borders and around the Republic of Cameroon.”

Assuring the governor of the Navy's commitment to the security of the state nay Nigeria, the Naval boss said "we have to keep our eyes open and to ensure that Cross River State and Nigeria at large is secured from that angle.

"We want to reassure you of the availability of the Nigerian Navy; we are at your service to ensure that Cross River State and her good people are safe and secured for economic prosperity and development

"I want to inform you, Your Excellency, of the ongoing general operations in the creeks around the state to ensure we rid it of all criminal elements; the cultists, the kidnappers and all that to make sure it is safe for maritime business to thrive since Cross River is a litoral state.

"In that regard, we are also collaborating with other agencies the Army, the Airforce and of course, the police and other security agencies in the state to ensure that the waterways are safe and secure for the prosperity of the good people of Cross River State"

Continuing, Vice Admiral Gambo who said he was on an operational and administrative visit to Cross River expressed optimism that the Naval War College being built in Calabar will be ready for commissioning next year.

Responding, Governor Ayade commended the Navy for its security efforts in Cross River so far, which according to him, have "kept us out of the way of harm particularly knowing the complex nature of Cross River's location vis a vis maritime security challenges.

“Very recently NNS Victory had undertaken several operations and I want to thank NNS Victory for their efforts in clearing out those bad boys from the creeks. Indeed, that has helped.”

The governor thanked the Naval Chief for the proposed Naval operational bases at Ikang and Dayspring Island, describing the development as deft moves to secure people of the area from criminal elements.

He however, pleaded with the Navy to also establish a base around Esighi where the Bakassi Deep Seaport project is sited.

His words: "We will need a strong naval presence, we will need a naval patrol across the entire length and breadth of our maritime domain.”

He pledged to sign the Certificate of Occupancy for the ongoing construction of Naval facilities in Calabar as pleaded by Vice Admiral Gambo.

OFFICIAL HANDING OVER/ COMMISSIONING CEREMONY OF MARITIME SECURITY ASSETS DONATED BY AITEO TO THE NIGERIAN NAVY



Short video - https://fb.watch/7ftgi8NlgH/

In an intelligence-driven operation, the Nigerian military has so far received 605 ISWAP Boko Haram members who laid down their arms and surrendered to the troops, PRNigeria authoritatively gathered.

It further gathered that 229 of the members who are mostly women and children have been handed over to the Borno state government.

In recent weeks, many Boko Haram fighters and their families wilfully denounced their evil campaigns and surrendered to the Nigerian Army.

A top intelligence operative involved in the operation told PRNigeria that the exercise for the repentant terrorists and their families adhered to international laws and best practices, relating to enemies willing to surrender.

According to the senior officer, some of the former fighters were afraid they could be killed if they surrendered but were persuaded by their spouses and parents.

The officer said: “Surprisingly, their parents and wives gave them encouragement that they would stand by them if they surrender to troops.

“The intelligence efforts are invisible but manifesting in current outcomes. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Faruk Yahaya encourages a mixed technique of kinetic and non-kinetic operations that are humane in nature as he instructed that while we accept those willing to surrender, we should not spare the stubborn one by sending them to where they belong.

“The sustained and well-coordinated military operation has exerted pressure on the terrorists who have deserted their various hideouts and camps, while their members who felt being misled are surrendering with their families to the Nigerian troops

“During profiling, some of the Commanders who surrendered to troops admitted that their various enclaves are bedevilled by hunger, disease, and the perpetual fear of military offensives.

“The media are key to shaping the troops’ resolve to continue their aggressive posture, while the citizens maintain their confidence on the military efforts on Counter-Terrorism,” he said.

Borno Governor Receives Surrendered Chibok Schoolgirl, Reunites Her with Family

… Finding Ruth Keeps Hope Alive, Says Zulum

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Saturday in Maiduguri, received Ruth Ngladar Pogu, one of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted seven years ago at a Government Secondary School in Chibok.

Boko Haram had attacked the school towards midnight on April 14, 2014, and abducted them.

Ruth, alongside someone she was said to have married during her captivity, surrendered themselves to the Nigerian military on July 28, 2021, at a location in Bama.

Under Zulum’s supervision, security and government officials kept the development secret and used the last 10 days to contact her parents and the association of parents of the missing schoolgirls in order to ascertain her identity.

Zulum’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, said the governor received the Chibok girl at the Government House in the presence of overwhelmed parents who reunited with her.

An excited Governor Zulum said reuniting with Ruth was a boost to keeping the hopes of parents, other family members and Borno State government alive in the optimism that all others, still in captivity, will be safely found and in good health.

Zulum said the government, in collaboration with Ruth and her parents, will undertake a rehabilitation and reintegration programme that will focus on her health, psychosocial wellbeing and her chosen path to a productive future, all of which will be determined by her.

The Governor commiserated with families of those still in captivity and urged them to remain optimistic prayerful and cooperative with security agencies should they be required for any measure.

"I am extremely excited both as Borno’s Governor and father of all sons and daughters of the state, and also as a father to daughters. I know the feeling of families of those still under captivity but we have to remain hopeful especially with today’s development”

Chairman of the Chibok Girls Movement, an association of all affected parents, Yakubu Keki, expressed joy over the return of Ruth Nglari Apagu. He said, the people of Chibok appreciate the efforts of security establishments and the concern and support regularly shown by Governor Zulum on the plight of parents whose daughters are still missing.

Because we chose to prosecute this war with raw power instead of technology, drones, Tucanos, etc, proper intelligence gathering and other air assets would have saved so many lives lost ( Soldiers lives).
I've said it before, regardless of how deadly these terrorists are, we've been waging a low level insurgency war and yet struggle to get a handle on it, because we chose to not deploy proper asset or acquire them, until now.

HAS BOKO HARAM BEEN BOXED INTO CUL-DE-SAC?

By Chidi Omeje

Something is happening in the north east. The counter insurgency and counter terrorism operations which the Nigerian military is prosecuting in that region is gathering steam and the steam is obviously becoming too hot for the adversary. In what appears to be an anticlimax in their bloody campaign, Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists have been boxed into a cul-de-sac, courtesy of the unrelenting offensive operations of the Nigerian troops; a predictable fate that offers the notoriously vicious terror group only one option: waving of the olive branch! And olive branch they have been frantically waving of late, the bloodied terrorists.

Almost on daily basis in the past one month, scores after scores of Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters have been surrendering to troops in the theatre. As I write, about 300 Commanders and foot-soldiers of the group along with their families have so far laid down their arms, denounced violence and renounced membership of the evil organisation. This is the result of aggressive deployment of intelligence, kinetic and no-kinetic onslaught by the Nigerian Armed Forces which have led to the death of many of the terrorists and obliteration of their enclaves.

Many more of the fighters have also given up their arms following intense hunger in their camps and frequent outbreak of diseases and the near impossibility of accessing drugs or feeding on normal food. As narrated by one of the fighters who recently surrendered to the troops, the stark reality in their enclaves is one of hunger, disease, brutality, high level of immorality and the constant fear of military offensives. He gave details of how much terrified they were in their locations and that is why most of them came out with their wives and children.

The truth is that the sustained airstrikes and heavy artillery bombardments by the troops on the enclaves of the terrorists in Sambisa forest and environ have exerted so much pressure on the fighters and totally disoriented them, prompting the frantic waving of the proverbial olive branch. Apparently, their fighting capability has depleted seriously with remnants deserting various camps, leaving behind a few diehards who stand no chance of not being eliminated by the highly spirited Nigerian troops.

But the current devastating form of the Nigerian troops –both on land and air - did not come per chance. It is the result of clear-headed strategic decisions, well-executed tactical plans and well co-ordinated operations of the Nigerian military. Strategic decision to strengthen the synergy of action between the land and air forces on one and hand and the integration of both the intelligence assets and logistics support of other security agencies have proved very effective in the operations.

It bears reiterating that the greatest magic bullet employed by the military authorities which has enabled the current desirable result so far, aside from the high moral and fighting spirit of the troops, is the new found synergy between the services. In effect, the unhealthy inter-service rivalry which robbed off negatively on the professional and operational relationship between the ground troops and air component before the current dispensation is now a thing of the past. No wonder they (the military) hit the bull’s eye and leave the adversary with bloodied nose, operations after operations.

Of course, successful operations are usually the result of painstaking actionable intelligence provided by different sources, most effective of which is the human intelligence (HUMINT). It was gathered that acting on the directives from the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, massive engagement of intelligence tools were employed to gather actionable information on the locations, movements and arm stockpiles of BHTs / ISWAP. When he visited the theatre recently, he assured the troops that they will get whatever they need to be able to penetrate the BHTs / ISWAP bases both in the Sambisa forest and Lake Chad general areas.

Without doubt, the use of some discreet technologies has also assisted in gathering useful intelligence which has enabling troops to carry out several offensives into the so-called strongholds of the terrorists. It is the effective deployment of intelligence asset and well-guided bombardments by the military that forced many strategic commanders of Boko Haram to abandon their missions and surrender to troops.

As a professional force that adheres strictly to extant international laws of arms conflict particularly the provision that relate to adversaries surrendering, the Nigerian Army has promised to always accept Boko Haram members who laid their arms and willfully denounced violent campaigns. These kinetic and non-kinetic lines of operations are really paying off as the professional manner in which they are handling the surrendered fighters within the ambit of international best practices have no doubt helped to convince others to come out too.

Feelers from the theaters are that the troops are upbeat about the current leadership of the military. They have in many occasions expressed their appreciation for the support they receive from their COAS and other Service Chiefs who have provided needed combat enablers and insisted in ‘jointness’ and the idea of taking the fight to the terrorists.

From what is going down in the theatre of operation in the north east, it is obvious that the troops are more than ever ready to conclude the war on terror as soon as possible but they will need serious support from all men and women of goodwill to finish off the job.
