KADUNA POLICE COMMAND PRESS RELEASE
ASSASSINATION OF ABDULKARIM IBN NA-ALLAH
CP ODERED FOR IMMEDIATE ARREST AND FULL SCALE INVESTIGATION INTO THE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT
ON 29TH AUGUST 2021

On the 29th August, 2021 at about 1530hrs the Kaduna Police Command received an unfortunate report of the assassination of Capt. Abdulkarim Ibn Na-Allah 'M' 36 years and a son to Senator Bala Ibn Na-Allah.
The report has it that the assassins forcefully gained access into the resident of the deceased at Umar Gwandu Road Malali, Kaduna during the night hours, choked him to dead in coldblood and made away with his Lexus SUV to an unknown destination.
The deceased was until his untimely death, a pilot by profession and not an army captain as being peddled in some quarters of the media. The Command is deeply saddened by this incident and extend its condolences to the grieving family as CP Abdullahi Mudassiru have since directed that a full scale investigation be carried out with a view to unraveling the identities of the culprit and bringing them to book. Detectives are currently leaving no stone unturned in compliance with the directive.
The Command is soliciting for information from the general public that will assist in getting to the root of this incident as well as proactively preventing future reoccurrence of similar tragic incident.

It's disappointing Sha, at this stage we shouldn't be buying weapons designed in the 1980s. But at least we have more protected mobility for the coming offensive.

Perhaps Army high command don't trust commanders enough to ensure the safety of new equipment. They might have also looked at the cost of purchasing a modern IFV vis-a-vis battlefield sustainability and decided, quantity over quality.

At least it's getting better, each of those IFVs would mean 15 soldiers having protected mobility. One of those in a mobile column could be of great advantage against ambushes.

But those presently at the high command were also in the fields not too long ago as commanders and know what the soldiers need to do their work. What's really wrong with them?



The only reasonable excuse is if it is an emergency purchase to quickly replace those lost to last year's dry season before another offensive begins.

I don't think it's a rushed purchased. I think cost consideration, familiarity of system and quantity are the primary deciding factors.

The Defence Headquarters on Sunday stated that a military chopper did not shoot boat passengers but “illegal oil bunkerers’” carrying refined oil products in the Bonny Island of Rivers State last Thursday.

Some Rivers boat operators last Thursday alleged that a military chopper opened fire on them while travelling from Port Harcourt to Bonny Island, injuring them in the process. They had claimed that the combat helicopter attacked their local wooden boat loaded with foodstuffs.

However, in a statement published on DHQ Facebook page, the Director, Defence Information, Benjamin Sawyerr, said that the injured persons were oil thieves.

The statement titled, ‘Re: Military Chopper Fires At Cargo Boat On Bonny River’, partly reads, “The Air Component of the Joint Task Force Operation Delta State received reports from ground troops who were on clearance operations but encountered resistance at the point of encounter.

“On receiving the report, a combat helicopter was dispatched to provide close air support mission along the Cawthorne Channel.

“The helicopter encountered an illegal oil bunkerers’ boat popularly called ‘Cotonou Boat’. The boat, which was being escorted by two speedboats, was suspected to be carrying illegally refined oil products in large drums along the Channel in the direction of OPDS patrol boats.

“On sighting the boat, warning shots were fired to dissuade the crew from hostile action. The crew fired back at the helicopter and the boat was engaged accordingly.

“The two speedboats detached from the convoy at high speed, leaving the ‘Cotonou Boat,’ which was neutralised.

“The helicopter later went after the two speedboats but was unable to track it. The suspects are still at large and a manhunt has been sent out to apprehend them.”

However, while the DHQ failed to post photos showing the “neutralised Cotonou Boat” or “illegally refined oil products in large drums” to substantiate its claim, photos sent by our Rivers State Correspondent, Dennis Naku, who visited the scene of the incident on Thursday and spoke with the victims, show that the passenger boats had food items, with blood splattered all over them.

When contacted via telephone on Monday morning, Sawyerr confirmed the DHQ statement to our correspondent, adding that the “Cotonou Boat” was sunk and there were no photos of the incident.

Of recent, the Nigerian Military has been accused of bombing innocent Nigerians, including soldiers, due to alleged miscalculations.

In April 2021, over 20 soldiers on ground were allegedly slain in Mainok, Borno State, when a Nigerian Air Force fighter jet responding to attacks on a military camp by Boko Haram insurgents bombed the military camp based on a wrong coordinate.

NAF spokesman, Edward Gabkwet, had said that the incident was under investigation.

Pressure seems to be building up in Plateau State as security operatives have sealed the State House of Assembly complex.

Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Abok Ayuba, disclosed this on Monday while appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

Hon Ayuba alleged that the forced closure of the state parliament was the making of the present government, adding that it is unconstitutional to bar legislators from carrying out their legislative duties.

“As I am speaking to you now, the House of Assembly is under siege by the security because we spoke and because we are standing for the people.

“They have sent security there that nobody should go to the House, can you imagine?

“We feel that the Executive are not respecters of the law, they do not respect the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the lawmaker opined.

This development is coming a few days after the State Assembly put out a statement urging the people of Plateau State to defend themselves against the threats they have faced in recent times.

According to Hon. Ayuba, the call became pertinent because the lawmakers did not believe that the governor was doing enough.

“We are not saying the people should carry arms against anybody, the people should defend themselves, they should carry arms and stay awake and not sleep.

“Plateau people wish the governor would speak for them just as he spoke for the people who were killed in Rukuba road early this month,” the legislator stressed.

He added that “We brought him in to defend the people of Plateau State. We did not say he should defend Mr A and leave Mr. B. He should defend the people of Plateau State.”

The Speaker made his remarks alongside Hon. Bitrus Kaze, who represented the people of Jos South/East Federal Constituency in the National Assembly between 2011 and 2015, and the State Commissioner for Information, Hon. Dan Majang.

In reaction to the said siege of the Assembly, Mr Majang said the move, which is condemnable, could be the work of overzealous security personnel.

He assured that appropriate measures would be taken against such individuals if they acted without proper direction.
