Nah only for Nigeria mass kidnapping dey happen regularly.

What a disgrace.

Is either the government do pay this people or they do release some of their members in prison in exchange for this students.

The reason I say this is because I see no reason this guys will keep on kidnapping students in mass if is not favouring them.

When a lion is wounded while fighting another dangerous beast, all sorts of weak animals including flies sense the weakness and will make use of the opportunity to show they are also noticed.

The reasons crime are thriving are very simple ;
Uselessness of the police force
Overstretching of the military
Needed crime combating assets have been deployed to other regions.

Once the terrorists in the North East are defeated, most of these criminals will pack up and move somewhere else while the strongheaded ones will be engaged with the full might of the military.

Another necessary solution to the menace we are facing now is a border wall........ What sort of country isn't bothered about what&who is entering and leaving the country?

Most likely taken after successful ambush on NA troops. The couldn't resist the impulse to show it in their propaganda videos. They have very little quantities nonetheless, it is very worrying.

Reading this tweet from Jake and realizing that it doesn't even cost that much to provide standard protection for all troops deployed!!
Egypt got 2000 MRAPS for $120 million!!

Like why can't we do the same thing?
That deal is not a purchase deal, so the $120m is not the true price tag of the MRAPS, Nigeria can not get those at that price.
Excess defense articles provided to partner nation at a reduced price (based on the condition of the equipment) or as a grant.
Partner nations pay for packing, crating, handling, and transportation (PCH&T), as well as refurbishment if applicable – EDA is “as is, where is”.

by the way Bleep ipob and oduduwa fanatics who lie so much that even genuin news is now looked at with suspicion.

My friends, a fulani operated genocide is upon you. Nigeria is now a land for the fulani to conquer, non-nigerian fulani have more rights (including right to carry ak47) than actual indigenous nigerians in nigeria.
When fulani kill or rape in the south, if they are arrested, they would be freed and COMPENSATED !

Fulani herdsmen are the world's second most deadly group after boko haram (deadlier than isis)
If you guys don't defend yourselves then you will be wiped out, that is the only logical conlusion to this.
Can we see this rating from the original source please?

"One africa" can not be a unilateral thing. That is absolutely not what is being done here, rather what we have is much like the jewish state and the sudanese "right to return". This is an ethnic cleansing.
You sound like a comedian, are you related to Mr Ibu?

If you think I am being hysterical, then you really do not understand what is happening.
fulani herdsmen are more deadly than isis !
Anyways I fail to understand your logical arguments to say my "notes" are "hysterical".

Story: Brian's house is burning, Brian calls for help, the next thing a guy who hasn't witnessed any burning of houses says brian is hysterical.


The day you will start using your brain properly instead of cheaply smearing what you don't understand, that day your future will be bright.

I think you need to discuss your "one africa" with someone else, I have already stated with arguments that what we are doing is not "one africa". Rather what we are doing is "fulani colonisation of nigeria". I am not interested in talking about "one africa". I am too busy trying to inform people about what is happening so that my people don't get annihilated by a genocide.

I guess we both have our priorities, now don't you ever talk to me about "one africa" again !
If buhari was an Ijaw man, I'm certain you wont say this nonsense!! who will blame you? you dont read, you cant study, you dont research, you dont even make yourself available to credible information sources of interest, You sit in your 2X2 shop in Ogbomosho like an oracle, typing away your sorrows, truth is; I am more scared of folks like you with chronic low IQ than the Fulani militia at least I know who they are & what they are capable of based on credible intelligence, as for you, not even the gods know how far you will go in stup!dity.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF NONSENSE YOU WILL READ FROM AN AVERAGE IPOB MEMBER!

JUST IN: Jubilation In Sambisa Forest, As Troops Raids and Eliminates 81 Boko Haram terrorists

Nigerian Troops have eliminated 81 Boko Haram fighters in Sambisa axis and lost one soldier from landmine attack. Military sources said the fleeing terrorists have continued to wreak havoc and razing villages along their escape routes.

The troops of Sector 1 comprising troops of 21 and 26 brigades supported by Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) cleared many villages of terrorists in the axis including Garin Bello, Kwoche, Lawanti, Alfa Bula Hassan and Alfa Cross among others. Intelligence sources said the troops encountered stiff resistance from the terrorists who laid improvised explosive devices along the troops’ axis of advance.

“The relentless troops destroyed the terrorists’ camps and recovered gun trucks and weapons as NAF aircraft continue to provide close air and interdiction support to the ground forces “Regrettably a soldier paid the supreme sacrifice with 4 other soldiers wounded in an improvised explosive devices incident”, the intelligence officer added.

In a message to the troops on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru, the Theatre Commander Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Farouk Yahaya, praised the gallantry of the troops and urged them to sustain it. He also paid tribute to the fallen hero and urged the troops to honour his memory by dealing with the terrorists ruthlessly without mercy.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that a large number of the fleeing Boko Haram terrorists invaded Zira and Gur villages in Biu South Local Government Area of Borno State. The terrorists were said to have stormed the communities at about 4:30 pm on Sunday, on motorcycles and gun trucks and set ablaze many houses, while residents scampered for safety.

Fighter aircraft of the NAF later engaged the fleeing terrorists with firepower from the air, neutralizing many of them in the offensive.
Where are the 81 bodies?

Human civilization will always battle one problem or another no matter the level of development, it is the speed of solving the problems and learning from it that now differentiates every nation/country.

We refused to learn from the Kankara abductions, after the release of the students, nothing was done regarding it again. The government didn't even bother to look into solving the problem of kidnapping.

Today, the exact thing that happened in Kankara, Katsina state has happened again this morning in Kagawa, Niger state.

The bandits simply want to cash out. Since the ones that kidnapped Kankara boys got paid despite the fact that government had encircled them thereby having the upper hand. This ones too will be expecting a windfall.

Nigerian government had a chance to teach them an unforgettable lesson during the Kankara incident but bungled it. This rampaging herdsmen cum terrorists are moralless monsters. They are absolutely the worst of the worse. You kill them not negotiate with them!

PRESIDENT BUHARI CONDEMNS SCHOOL ABDUCTION IN NIGER STATE, DISPATCHES SECURITY OFFICALS TO THE STATE

President Muhammadu Buhari has received reports of the brazen attack on Government Science College, Kagara, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, following which a yet to be ascertained number of staff and students have been abducted by gunmen.

Following these reports, the President has directed the Armed Forces and Police, to ensure immediate and safe return of all the captives. The President has also dispatched to Minna, Niger State a team of security chiefs to coordinate the rescue operation and meet with state officials, community leaders, as well as parents and staff of the College.

President Buhari has assured of the support of his administration to the Armed Forces in their brave struggle against terrorism and banditry and urged them to do all that can be done to bring an end to this saga, and avoid such cowardly attacks on schools in the future.

“Our prayers are with families of the victims of this attack,” said the President as he condemned as cowardly the attack on innocent school children.

The solution to Nigeria's insecurity issues are

1. Border security through border surveillance equipments in short term and border fence in long-term.

2. Improvement and advancement in the entire law enforcement including intelligence agencies.

3. Decentralisation of the police, The NPF should be dissolved and decentralised into state police such that governors have direct control over the police in each state with supervison of a federal board, the police in every state should consist of personnel from all states of the federation so as to avoid the failure of amotekun.

4. Life or death sentence for anyone who is caught in involvement or conspiracy in smuggling and illegal local production of weapons and explosives.

Niger governor confirms abduction of 27 students, 15 others

The Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has challenged state and federal lawmakers on the need to partner with governments for youth empowerment.

Gov. Abubakar Sani-Bello of Niger on Wednesday confirmed the abduction of 27 students, three staff and 12 family members by gunmen at the Government Science College, Kagara, in Rafi Local Government Area of the state.

Bello made the confirmation at a news conference shortly after an emergency meeting with heads of security agencies in Minna on Wednesday.

Newsmen report that the gunmen stormed the school on Wednesday at 2 a.m. killing one student and kidnapped 27, three staff of the college and 12 members of families at the school.

The governor directed that all boarding schools in Shiroro, Rafi and Muyan be closed down with immediate effect until the situation improved.

“I call on all Nigerlites to condemn all forms of criminality in the state,” he said.

He called on the Federal Government to deploy all resources to secure the state, while the State Government was doing everything possible to ensure safe return of the students and staff.

Bello also said that the State Government would not pay ransom to the suspected bandits in order to secure the release of their victims, but that it was ready to support any bandit who was ready to surrender their arms.

“When you negotiate and pay ransom to criminals, they will use the money to purchase more weapons,” he said.

Newsmen report that Government Science College, Kagara, has a total of 650 students out of whom the 27 were abducted and one, Benjamin Doma, was killed by the hoodlums.

NAN recalls that 40 passengers travelling from Kontagora to Minna where abducted by suspected gunmen on Feb. 14.

However, 8 out of the 40 passengers abducted, had regained freedom, while the remaining are still in the hands of their abductors whom are demanding for ransom

Minister of Defence, Major General (rtd) Bashir Magashi, has asked Nigerians to summon courage and stand up to the gunmen wreaking havoc across the country.

Speaking with newsmen on the sideline of the screening of Service Chiefs by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Magashi described those who abducted staff and students of a secondary school in Kagara community in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, as cowards.
He said Nigerians have the responsibility to ensure there is adequate security around them.

Magashi said, “Well, is it the responsibility of the military alone? It is the responsibility of everybody to be alert and ensure safety when necessary.”

“We shouldn’t be cowards. Sometimes the bandits come with about three rounds of ammunition and when they fire shots, everybody will run. In our younger days, we stand to fight any form of aggression.

“Why should people run away from minor aggressions? We should stand and face them. If these people know that the people have the competence and capability to defend themselves, they will run away.”

The Minister also dismissed the clamour for Nigerians to be allowed to bear arms to defend themselves.

“It is an issue currently even in the developed country. They are still debating on whether to continue (to allow people bear arms) or stop. But I don’t advice Nigerians to bear fire arms for internal use,” he added.

Some communities in Gurmana Ward of Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State have been attacked by gunmen.

Daily Trust learnt that Sarkin Zama, Bakin Kogi (Lagbe), Siyiko and other adjoining villages were invaded by armed gangs who operated unchallenged for hours.

According to Co-convener, Concerned Shiroro Youths, Sani Yusuf Kokki, some residents were killed in the attacks which happened hours after students and staff were abducted at Government Science College, Kagara, Rafi Local Government Area of the state.

“Countless deadly attacks have become daily occurrences thereby compelling the affected victims to live at the mercy of hydra-headed monsters. Defenceless, unarmed and peaceful locals have been abandoned to their fate,” Kokki said in a statement.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Niger, Wasiu Abiodun, neither answered calls nor replied text messages sent to him.

After the attack in Kagara, President Muhammadu Buhari had directed security agencies to ensure the immediate release of the victims.

In a statement Malam Garba Shehu, his spokesman, issued on his behalf, the president had said his government is committed to securing Nigerians.

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, also held meetings with top government officials over the kidnap at Kagara.

Describing the incident as a source of concern, Adamu had said different strategies were being put in place to address the situation.

“We have restrategised. We are working to ensure that the students are returned unharmed. We are using the same strategy as we used in the past case but it won’t stop us from apprehending those who committed the act. We have deployed our units of mobile policemen to reinforce security in the state. The group that perpetrated the incident, we know the group and we will get the people back unharmed,” he had said.

On his part, Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, had asked Nigerians to stand up to bandits and gunmen wreaking havoc across the country.

“We shouldn’t be cowards. Sometimes the bandits come with about three rounds of ammunition and when they fire shots, everybody will run. In our younger days, we stand to fight any form of aggression. Why should people run away from minor aggressions? We should stand and face them. If these people know that the people have the competence and capability to defend themselves, they will run away,” he had said while briefing newsmen at the National Assembly.

His comment irked Nigerians, especially on social media, where people accused him of attempting to shift the responsibility of the government to the governed

At least seven Nigerian soldiers have been confirmed killed after a deadly ambush by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

The affected soldiers were attached to the 153 Task Force Battalion in Marte Local Government Council of the state, sources familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES.

According to the sources, the troops were caught by surprise when the terrorists swooped on them at 10 a.m. on Monday.

They, however, put up a strong fight to defend their base and ward off the insurgents.

But despite their gallant efforts, the soldiers were overwhelmed “because they could not withstand the superior firepower of the terrorists”, our sources said.

Dislodged
The unit, which was totally dislodged, has now been moved to Dikwa, another local government area, a development that has now opened up Marte to further attacks.

To this end, the army authorities have issued advisories to troops in Sector 3 (especially those in Baga, Cross Kauwa, Kekeno and Monguno and the areas surrounding Marte) to be on red alert.

Monday’s attack on Marte Local Government by the extremist Boko Haram group makes it the third onslaught on the area in a month, military insiders said.

Nigerian youths should not allow themselves to be brainwashed and used by people with hidden agenda. Many towns and cities in the northeast have been reclaimed by nature after Human civilization left to avoid the insurgency crisis. The same thing is playing out in the northwest. The people of the Southeast shouldn't make the same mistake. Once war starts, it will be too late to reflect on the consequences.
