A Retired Airforce Engr Explains the Spent Fuel Tank that dropped in Offa. To strike these targets with precision without alerting the insurgents, long-range munitions (likely cruise missiles or long-endurance tactical drones) were launched from naval platforms stationed in the Gulf of Guinea, near the coast of Ghana. The flight path was a straight line from the ocean to the Sahel.That line runs directly over Kwara State. What the people of Offa witnessed is known as ‘staging'. Long-range missiles shed weight as they fly. They drop their fuel tanks or booster rockets once the fuel is spent, allowing the warhead to continue to the target. Offa just happened to be the geographic drop-zone for that stage of the flight. https://midlandpost.ng/index.php/nation-2/9781-fighting-terrorism-how-a-high-stakes-strike-on-terror-left-its-mark-on-offa 55 Likes

Most of illiterate northerners don’t know that America can view them from camera imaging from space. They can spot movement and activities with live-time zoom. Similar ways Israeli picked out Iranian generals without them seeing what hit them. 80 Likes 2 Shares |

Yes. The missile dropped off their fuel tanks on the way to sokoto. Unfortunately since it was shot from far away, a state in its part will be the victim Thank God it didn’t kill anyone in Offa when the tanks dropped as they were not the intended targets 13 Likes 1 Share |

I have always said this. People have the right to practice their religion. If US is going to be a problem to the north practicing their religion let them just have a country of their own. In this way nobody has the right to dictate to them how they should practice their religion. Freedom Arewa . Islamic Republic of Shari'a Arewa. Motto: Shari'a Reigns Supreme 24 Likes |
