The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has deployed to Senegal as part of Nigerian contingent of Economic Community of West African States Military Intervention in Gambia (ECOMIG) – a standby force tasked by ECOWAS Heads of State to enforce the December 1, 2016 election mandate in the The Gambia. The NAF today moved a contingent of 200 men and air assets comprising fighter jets, transport aircraft, Light Utility Helicopter as well as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft to Dakar from where it is expected to operate into Gambia. The deployment is also to forestall hostilities or breakdown of law and order that may result from the current political impasse in The Gambia.

Addressing the contingent before departure, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar urged the troops to maintain discipline and be professional in their conduct. Reminding them to be good ambassadors of Nigeria, the CAS stated that no act of indiscipline by the contingent would be tolerated. The contingent, led by Air Cdre Tajudeen Yusuf, was airlifted this morning from 117 Air Combat Training Group Kainji. Other troop contributing countries include Senegal, Ghana and countries within the sub-region.

So busy! I feel for them

The devil pushing Jammeh seems to be the suit wearing one.

I don't know why you will just want to suyanise yourself for nothing.

Good one, I can't wait to see the power monster out of the office.

This our Buhari too like fight. I love the man though

I commend nigeria army are now doing well. They have been demostrating good professionalism and strength in Africa b4 we used to rely on Niger republic n cameroun to help us protect our land . with costant mission n millitary engagement we will be the best in the zone.
I just want us to develop good experience in AIR n water coz in future we will need these things to survive when the amgeddon comes

Showing off our fighting tools

Gallant soldiers, I believed Nigerian for that.

This does not look true. Looks like the NE operations to me.

I thought as much too but you can confirm it from NAF page on Facebook.I don't think NAF will upload fake photos.I just added a screenshot for u to see

Good luck to u Airmen, Victory comes from God alone.

What is making me happy about this Gambia issue is the fact that Buhari is digging his own grave come 2019. copied...

Sai Africa's President Muhammadu Buhari.

Pa Chukwudi44 my friend of life. Are you still in the business of supporting corrupt tyrants and dictators in this new year? See, if you know Jammeh or knows someone that knows someones that knows him, tell him to handover peacefully tomorrow. Else, he will get the Gbagbo treatment. No amount of support from wailers can save him.

Hmm

I wish this Jammeh/Jamiu guy can continue with his stronghead so the level at which he will be disgraced will be so sweet

I doubt if the situation will get to this level in 2019. The Dullard will massively rig the elections and nobody will utter a word.

ECOWAS IS AS USELESS AS NATO. THEY ONLY GO AFTER TINY AND HARMLESS NATIONS.

France came all the way from Europe to come and help oust Gbagbo as Ecowas countries were too scared to deploy troops to Ivory Coast due to the highly improve military over the years.

Just the same way NATO does gragra to Yemen, Afghanistan and other baby countries.

Since Russia has been poking their fingers into America's eyes, have you seen them retarliate? Instead they will be crying foul. Same way China keeps breaking rules and absolutely nothing is done to them.

Why didn't they organize with AU to deploy troops to Libya during the Libya uprising.


Bloody Bullies.

Buhari should remove the log in his eyes first before seeing the spectre in Jammeh's eyes
