A heartwarming News!!!!

TROOPS RESCUE MAJOR CL DATONG

Following the directive of the Chief of Defence Staff and Service Chiefs for 1 Division Nigerian Army in conjunction with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and all security agencies to conduct decisive operations to rescue Major CL Datong who was abducted at Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Permanent Site on 24 August 2021 and find the perpetrators dead or alive, the Division in conjunction with the Air Task Force, Department of State Services and other security agencies, immediately swung into action by conducting operations in the Afaka general area to find and rescue the officer. The operations were being conducted based on several leads received from various sources regarding the abductors and likely locations the officer was being held.

The operations which have been sustained since the abduction of the officer proved quite successful and led to the destruction of several identified bandits’ camps in the Afaka- Birnin Gwari general area and neutralization of scores of bandits particularly, in the late hours of today, 17 September, 2021, the troops arrived at a camp suspected to be the location where Maj CL Datong was being held. At the camp, the troops exchanged fire with the bandits for overwhelmed them superior fire. In the process, the gallant troops were able to rescue the abducted officer. However, the officer sustained a minor injury but has been treated in a medical facility and handed over to NDA for further action.

The Division wishes to commend the efforts of the NAF, DSS , Nigerian Police and patriotic Nigerians for their invaluable support which contributed to the success of this operation. Our operations will continue until we capture or neutralize the assailants that killed two (2) officers in the NDA on 24 August 2021.

When you go to many other countries, you see Nigerians committing crimes and trying to game the system. It's not like there are no criminals or people trying to cut corners from these countries too, the difference is that it is a deviation from the norm in those societies while it is the norm in our own society. You are more likely to be seen as a stupid or foolish fellow rather than an honest person by an average Nigerian when you decide to be honest and just in certain circumstances. No perfect system exists anywhere in the world, it is the people who keep on putting efforts.


You are more likely to see Nigerians committing crimes in other countries than seeing natives of those countries committing crimes in Nigeria.

Terrorists seems to be smarter than the military, when they took this guy, they released videos & pictures but when you rescue him, you grab a headline news.

GreenOris:
This banditry issue is so sad why was it allowed to go this bad?
The revelations during this military campaign in scary, at this stage any government that will stamp out banditary in the North will definitely be accused of genocide.

Blueelf:


I am all for reforming but it won't be as easy as it is

Sacking hardened criminals masquerading as policemen and releasing them into society would only increase the crime rate. Mind you, they have been trained to handle arms. They could turn on innocent citizens. Join bandintry, kidnappers or even ISWAp (if them get mind lol )

The truth is our NPF is a product of a corrupt country. Reforms in the NPF should occur simultaneously with societal reforms.

From my own, if they want to reform the police. The least requirement into the force should be at HND, no OND no SSCE.


When govt finish recruiting the required number of candidates and sent them for a long time training. When they are back, after like two weeks of real time training... The govt should convert all the police officers from rank of CP down to the least rank to civil defence, road safety and maybe aviation security officers(instead of disengaging them)
Then after like a year or two, when the new recruit are familiar with the police structure, all the remaining senior officers should be dismissed.

Not to forget that the staff of police service commission and ministry of police affairs need to all be reformed cos all of them play part in the corrupt system of the police.

Hello guys

how true is this news?

GabrielYulaw:



We are a terrible people for real and this is why the country is so terrible and an affront to all decent people.

Litmus:
Some act as if they've never traveled abroad. Such individuals may be surprised to learn that very many people have lost thire lives just for 10 dollars or less. There was a case in the UK whereby a man was stabbed to death for £2 or a little over, let alone labeling Nigerians deviant because a so called Mallam called another man a fool for returning a briefcase full of money. It is actually a warped kind of thinking to label an entire nation deviant because someone, possibly a Nigerian, in an "esteemed" position berated an individual, Nigerian, for returning a briefcase full of money but fails to see that it is also a Nigerian that returned said property.

Odunayaw:
Whose actions between the two have more influence on others

Litmus:


Very few adults can be influenced against thire nature or and upbringing. The man that returned the case will act similarly next time in spite of the Mallam's opinions.

I'm not a Muslim but I expect the Mallam wouldn't last long if he keeps advising young Muslims to steal.

Ask Samuel Anyanwu. He's the expert on all things Maidugri

Gireiboy:

Where are you going to get these recruits? is it not the same Nigerians or are they going to import angels from heaven? They NPF is simply they reflection of typical Nigerian Society. Mention one organisation in Nigeria both government and private whose employees are not corrupt?

The hate in this thread is nauseous. You will be surprised that people that talk bad and evil of the dead can be so loving of someone who have not fed them or their family.
You will be surprised that people glowing in that thread are people with parents and kids.This are people who will claim genocide if Nigerian Soldiers invade South East.

Sometimes, it is not our village peoplebut we that being curses on our generation to come. Just yesterday, A student from MCA Uturu was killed in an attack at Ihube-Okigwe road by bandits but it is the policemen on patrol that deserves to be heartlessly murdered

ONCE AGAIN, ISWAP DESTROYS HIGH TENSION TOWERS IN BORNO STATE

More than Four high tension towers have been blown up by ISWAP along Auno, on the Maiduguri-Damaturu road.
Sources indicate that more than four high tension towers that supplied electricity from Damaturu to Maiduguri were blown off again by suspected ISWAP men Friday night . The incident happened in Garin kuturu village which is about two kilometers away from Auno .
Four towers are already on ground while the fifth ones is about to give way.
Right now, restoration of electricity to Maiduguri the Borno state capital looks unlikely as a result of constant destruction of high tension cables that supply electricity to the state.
