OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE : UPDATE ON THE ACTIVITIES OF TROOPS OF OPERATION FIRE BALL FROM 28 SEPTEMBER TO 31 OCTOBER 2020

1. Sequel to the commencement of Operation FIRE BALL, a subsidiary operation under Operation LAFIYA DOLE which is meant to clear the remnants of the Boko Haram/ Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists from their identified enclaves in the North East region. The Operation has recorded tremendous succeses within the short period from its existence with the last week of the preceeding month proving to be the deadliest against the criminals.

2. The troops in the various Sectors of the Theatre have continued to carry out their tasks relentlessly. The successes so far achieved wouldn't have been possible without the sacrifice, commitment and gallantry exhibited by the well motivated troops some of whom have paid the supreme sacrifice. Within this period, the troops have carried out aggressive clearance operations, ambushes, robust day and night patrols in order to finally decimate the remnants of the Boko Haram/ISWAP criminals.

3. Consequently, as a result of the aggressive offensive action carried out by the troops, several terrorists elements have been neutralized as large number of their equipment were captured while some were equally destroyed in the process. In this regard a total of 75 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists were neutralized within this period. In terms of the criminals equipment 4 x Gun Trucks, 1 x Bedford Truck, 3 x Anti Aircraft guns,were destroyed. The captured weapons include: 6 x Gun Trucks, 4 x Anti Aircraft guns, 1x PKT gun, 4 x General Purpose Machine Guns,1 x Automatic Grenade Launcher, 1 x Dushka Gun, 1 x Light Machine Gun, 48 x AK 47 Rifles, 1x Locally made Pistol and 10 x AK 47 magazines. Furthermore, large cache of ammunition were captured also. This include: 1 x 36 Hand Grenade, 567 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, 448 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, 50 x Rocket Propelled Grenade bombs, 17 locally manufactured rounds, 3 shells for making Improvised Explosive Device, 1 x Smoke Grenade and 2 x belts of PKT rounds. Other assorted non lethal items were also captured from the criminals.

4. Regrettably, one officer and 2 gallant soldiers paid the supreme price while 4 other soldiers were wounded in action over the period. However, the wounded soldiers have since been evacuated to a military medical facility and are currently responding to treatment.

5. The troops of Operation FIRE BALL under Operation LAFIYA DOLE are hereby commended for their resilience, doggednes and commitment exhibited since the beginning of the Operation. They are equally encouraged not to rest on their oars but build on the successes recorded so far.

6. The entire populace of the North East region are hereby assured of the Nigerian military high command determination to finally rout the remnants of BHT/ISWAP criminals from their enclaves in this zone.

7. To you the members of the Press, I want to thank you most profoundly for your cooperation and commitment in covering our activities. You are well appreciated.

it's not true. It is actually his tribe, the tutsis that were massacred, he was part of those who saved Rwanda. You can read it for yourself. People can twist stories anyhow.

The fact behind the downing of President Juvenal Habiyarimana's plane is still shrouded in conspiracy theory. The Rwanda Patriotic Front, The Belgians and even the American CIA have been separately accused of being responsible for that fatal incidence.

I wouldn't admit that Paul Kagame saved Rwanda during the cause of the conflict in that country. I'l rather reckon that Kagame led the RPF to save his Tutsi people from extermination. The RPF also committed some spine chilling atrocities in those dark days

remi1444:

The difference between both of them is not much. Kagame is just western inclined, and he has a very good multinational PR Agency that helps him attract positive global attention and promote brand Rwanda

Lol. President Paul Kagame thinks by prosecuting General James Kabarebe, he can absolve himself from the genocide and war crimes he perpetrated against Congolese and Rwandese during the first and second Congo war. What a world !

Kagame is brutal and autocratic, but despite that he could well be the most forward-thinking of the rulers that Africa is cursed with. You don't have to like him to admire him. Right now the capital of his country is rated one of the cleanest in the world and economic indices are better than most. I can see myself migrating to Rwanda, rather than Canada, especially cos Rwandan ladies are slim, tall and backside-beautiful

INTERNAL SECURITY: NAF TO DEPLOY UCAVS, CONSTRUCT RUNWAY IN GUSAU AS GOVERNOR MATAWALLE COMMENDS CAS FOR EFFORTS TO RID ZAMFARA, OTHER NORTHWEST STATES OF ARMED BANDITRY

[b][/b]As part of efforts to further boost the effectiveness and efficiency of air operations in the fight against armed banditry in the Northwest of the Country, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to deploy 4 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) as well as construct a runway and ancillary facilities for the UCAVs in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, disclosed this today, 5 November 2020, while on a one-day operational visit to Gusau to inspect the site for the proposed runway and other facilities, which are expected to serve as the Northwest UCAV Base for the NAF. The visit, which began with a courtesy call on the Zamfara State Governor, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, also afforded the CAS the opportunity to inspect some facilities at NAF Base Gusau.

Speaking during the courtesy call at Government House Gusau, Air Marshal Abubakar, while profoundly thanking the Government and good people of Zamfara State for their support and hospitality to the NAF since the establishment of the 207 Quick Response Group (207 QRG) in the State, expressed satisfaction with reports that NAF personnel operating under Sector 1 of Operation HADARIN DAJI had been performing their assigned tasks professionally, in synergy with other security agencies, whilst also ensuring cordial relationship with host communities. He disclosed that he was in Zamfara State at the instance of the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, who had authorized the construction of a runway and ancillary facilities in Gusau for the deployment of 4 newly acquired UCAVs to cover Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi and Katsina States as well as parts of Kaduna State.

While highlighting the capabilities of the UCAVs, the CAS noted that the unmanned aircraft could remain airborne for up to 26 hours providing persistent presence over areas of interest. He revealed that the four UCAVs were part of the 8 UAVs recently acquired by the Federal Government to enhance the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) as well as strike capabilities of the NAF not only in the fight against armed banditry in the Northwest and North Central but also in counterinsurgency operations in the North East. He revealed that 2 UCAVs were to be deployed at the newly established 203 Combat Reconnaissance Group in Gombe and the 2 others at the Air Task Force, Operation LAFIYA DOLE Headquarters in Maiduguri. He added that these were in addition to the 22 brand new aircraft already acquired by the Federal Government for the NAF in the last 5 years, along with the 19 additional aircraft being expected before the end of the second quarter of 2021. The CAS noted that these additional aircraft included 12 x A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft, 3 x JF-17 Thunder Fighter Jets, an additional Mi-171E utility helicopter as well as 3 special missions aircraft that are expected to be handed over to the NAF from NIMASA for maritime air operations.[b][/b]

Speaking further, Air Marshal Abubakar revealed that about 195 NAF personnel were undergoing various ground and aircrew training in 9 different countries across the world to ensure that as soon as these additional aircraft arrive Nigeria they would be effectively and efficiently utilized to further enhance the security of Nigeria and Nigerians in the various theatres of operation. He further disclosed that, while the main purpose of the new runway facility being constructed was to service the UCAVs, other aircraft could equally use the airfield once completed. He however noted that the deployment of the new UCAVs as well as the personnel to man them would require the emplacement of additional infrastructure at the NAF Base, which would undoubtedly require additional land. He therefore appealed to the Governor to provide the additional land for the NAF. The CAS ended his remarks by encouraging the Royal Fathers and Spiritual Leaders present at the event to support the NAF and other security agencies by providing intelligence which, he said, was critical to the effective conduct of operations in sub-conventional warfare scenarios like armed banditry. He noted that such information would always be treated with utmost confidentiality and further cross-checked for accuracy before use.

In his response, Governor Matawalle appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari for swiftly responding to the cries of the people of Zamfara and acceding to their request for additional facilities that would enhance the security of the State. He stressed that Zamfara State would remain eternally grateful to the C-in-C for authorizing the construction of the runway as well as the deployment of the UCAVs to Gusau. He equally thanked the CAS for the speedy action taken to commence implementation of the project, whilst also commending him for the unwavering commitment shown by the NAF and the tremendous contributions made by the Service in dealing with the menace of armed banditry. The Governor emphasized that security was not the exclusive responsibility of security agencies but required the involvement of every member of the society. He therefore urged the people of the State to heed the CAS’ call by providing useful intelligence to security forces.

Speaking further, Dr Matawalle said the Zamafara State Government, while continuing to apply both kinetic and non-kinetic means in dealing with security challenges in the State, would continue to exhibit zero tolerance for any subversive elements who provide information or safe havens to bandits or support their operations in any way. He noted that it was auspicious that the CAS’ visit coincided with his meeting with Royal Fathers and Spiritual Leaders in the State, which had been convened to further galvanize their support for the Government towards dealing with the issue of armed banditry in Zamfara State. While assuring the CAS of the State Government’s continued support, the Governor gave immediate directives for the provision of additional land to the NAF.

The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by the Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Charles Ohwo as well as the NAF Chief of Logistics, AVM Mohammed Yakubu, and other senior NAF officers, was thereafter conducted by Governor Matawalle on a tour of the land allocated by the Zamfara State Government for the runway project.

HOUSE OF REPS COMMITTEE ON THE NAVY PLEDGES IMPROVED BUDGETARY ALLOCATION TO THE NIGERIAN NAVY

The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on the Navy, Honourable Yusuf Gagdi has assured that the Committee will assiduously do everything within its constitutional powers to assist the Nigerian Navy (NN) to reach enviable heights and to perform optimally. Honourable Gagdi stated this while delivering his speech when the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas and Principal Staff Officers of the NHQ appeared before the Committee to defend its 2021 budget proposal. The Committee Chairman maintained that they were not oblivious of the operations of the NN including its strengths and weaknesses and will make recommendations that will chart a new pathway for articulating robust measures that would be taken by both the Legislature and the Executive towards improving on the performance of the NN.

While presenting a brief on the NN 2020 budget implementation and 2021 budget proposal, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas submitted that notwithstanding her military roles, the NN in the last 2 decades has been mainly pre-occupied with her constabulary or policing roles in the face of multi-dimensional maritime threats, especially from crude oil theft, illegal bunkering, pipeline vandalism and piracy as well as internal security breaches, and asymmetric threats in the form of counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism, amongst others. He said that to effectively tackle these threats in the nation’s interest, the NN needs to budget for the acquisition of appropriate platforms, equipment and infrastructure without ignoring personnel welfare. He added that although the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) had in recent times boosted the renewal of NN’s Fleet with some major platforms, additional operating vessels were required to enhance the navy’s presence at sea in defence of Nigeria’s maritime interests and sustain ongoing efforts against crude oil theft and other maritime related crimes.

The CNS maintained that the NN has also expanded its sphere of influence in response to rising security challenges, by establishing new bases across the country as well as entering into bilateral and multilateral relations with countries in the West African sub-region. Also, he added that regional maritime security initiatives like the deployment of NN personnel at the Multi-National Maritime Coordination Centre in Benin Republic are being sustained while plans are at an advanced stage to operationalize the Nigeria-Equatorial Guinea Combined Maritime Policing and Security Patrol Committee for security of the joint maritime borders of both countries. Other international commitments, he listed, include the deployment of personnel to the African Union Headquarters Addis Ababa as well as various staff officers to 9 peace support missions under the auspices of the United Nations, ECOWAS and AU. He asserted also that on the domestic scene, various joint operations with sister Services such as OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE, OPERATION AWATSE, OPERATION DELTA SAFE, OPERATIONAL WHIRL STROKE, OPERATION WHIRL PUNCH and OPERATION SAFE HAVEN have been undertaken by the Service with sustenance of vital single Service operations such as OPERATION RIVER SWEEP, OPERATION TSARE TEKU as well as the Choke Point Control Regime.

So guys, can we now say the possibility of getting the super tucano is now slim since the democrats have won the US election.

My worst fear too. As much as I dislike Trump I sort of wanted him to win for the sake of war against terror across the globe. Democrats tend to make policies that favour terrorists.

I really hope it wouldn't affect the tucs delivery,
Well according to the CAS six tucs are ready for delivery and hopefully all tucs will be delivered before the end of second quarter of 2021

I think Biden might let the Tucano deliveries for Nigeria fly. However I really fear for future support for the Tucanos.

Biden is simply an extension of the Obama administration. As we all know, Obama's administration was very hostile to Nigeria.

They initially blocked the Tucano purchase from Brazil, after the Rann Bombings they blocked Tucano deliveries again for Nigeria.

Obama frustrated Nigeria's efforts to buy arms from Israel. The ones we bought from Pakistan, they also frustrated it, denying Nigeria right of air passage in the middle east region.

The issues we had with South-Africa was primarily as a result of America frustrating Nigeria's efforts to buy arms from other countries.

This really is not looking really good for Nigeria's military, they have the power to also frustrate our defence industry.

To avoid problems we would be forced to go suck up to them.

Update from the front line.
Troops yesterday dealt with BHT
We had some casualties when the terrorists fired an RPG.
May their soul rest in peace

CJTF and Army Foiled an ambush on their convoy thankfully no casualties or injuries.

I hope NA sustains the momentum of Op Fireball.
I saw a large convoy yesterday of military vehicles good to see some Ara MRAPs
Preparing for an offensive.

It's not looking good at all, Biden is just another Obama. Although it will be next year before Biden is inaugurated, the tucanos might still get delivered but support for the platform is another thing entirely

The super tucanos are very good in the war against insurgency but right now Nigeria should seek Plan B in support maintenance of thr aircraft if eventually they are delivered completely to us.

And as a matter of urgency we should get our remaining Mi-35 M helos before Biden comes, because once he gets to White House , it is likely that there would be any chances of getting waivers.

This what we want more pounding of the terrorist wherever they are, because the dry season is here ,they will be more dearing now like never before
