[b] Militants go into hiding as CDS issues fresh order
By Sola Adebayo
Published: Sunday, 28 Sep 2008

Fresh fears have gripped militant groups in the Niger Delta region following the report that the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Paul Dike, has given definite rules of engagement to the Joint Task Forces in the Niger Delta.

Most of their leaders have gone into hiding in view of the uncompromising posture of the CDS.

Findings by Sunday Punch revealed that Dike had dropped the subtle approach adopted by his predecessor, Gen. Owoye Azazi.

It was gathered that Dike was of the opinion that Owoye, an Ijaw of Bayelsa stock, treated his kinsmen with kid gloves while he lasted as helmsman in Defence Headquarters.

Dike was said to have given explicit order to the commanders of the two joint task forces in the region to flush out the militias from their creeks and hideouts.

It was noted that Dike asked the authorities of JTFs to apprehend the militant leaders dead or alive.

Investigation by Sunday Punch on Saturday showed that Dike has conveyed the order to the Commander of JTF, Operation Restore Hope, Brig.-Gen. Wuyep Rimtip, and his JTF, Operation Flush 111, Brig.-Gen. Sarkin Yarkin-Bello.

The Defence Headquarters in Abuja has provided logistics to facilitate the implementation of the order.

It was learnt that the facilities had been placed at the disposal of the authorities of JTF, Op RH, based at 93 Battalion, Effurun, Delta State and JTF, Op Flush Out 111, in Port Harcourt , the capital of Rivers State , for speedy actions.

It was further learnt that the fears of the militants were accentuated by the report that over 200 gunboats and many patrol crafts had been positioned for fresh attacks on identified militant camps in Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States .

Sources at 93 Battalion told Sunday Punch that some militias, who suspected that they might be on the wanted list of DHQ, had fled their camps in anticipation of the imminent attacks.

Investigations showed that Dike specifically ordered the authorities of JTFs to apprehend popular militant leaders, Ateke Tom, Fara Dagogo and Kiti Kata, dead or alive.

It was learnt that the recent decision of the dreaded Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta to observe a “ceasefire” in the war with the federal troops was reportedly informed by the posture of DHQ to deal decisively with the militants.

The source in JTF, Op RH told our correspondent, “The new CDS is a no nonsense man and has changed the tactics of his predecessor, who probably handled the Niger Delta matters with caution because of his ethnic background.

“The new CDS has issued fresh orders to our commanders to treat the militant leaders and their followers like criminals and we are looking for some of them, including Ateke Tom, Fara Dagogo and Kiti Kata.

The source in JTF stated that the CDS was reportedly disturbed by the report that Kata was responsible for the recent killing of three soldiers attached to JTF Op RH in the creeks of Bayelsa State. The source further added that Kata later escaped to the camp of Dagogo in Rivers State where they jointly carried out nefarious activities.

Investigation revealed that recent military operations in Rivers State, was targeted at apprehending the three warlords.

”That is why JTF Flush Out is carrying out major military operations in Rivers State to apprehend these militant leaders as directed by the CDS. We are aware that the militant leaders and their disciples are living in fear that the JTFs are planning to attack them.

”Although some of the militias we are looking for have gone underground, we are still on their manhunt and definitely we must locate them. The detectives are desperately looking for them and definitely we are going to get them.

“The incident that pained the CDS most was the killing of three soldiers in mufti in Bayelsa State less than one month ago.

“Kiti Kata, who killed the soldiers later escaped to Rivers State where he joined hands with “Commander” Fara Dagogo to wreak further havoc. Actually we have been looking for them but the CDS has given a definite directive to our commanders to fish them out.

“The death of the two soldiers cannot be in vain and we are going to get the two of them to atone for their sins as directed by the CDS,” added one of our sources in JTF, who craved anonymity.

However, the Coordinator, Joint Media Campaign Centre of JTF, Lt. Col. Rabe Abubakar, could not be reached for comment before press time on Saturday.

We dont av 2 go over this again.

A proud citizen of Bakana in the Niger Delta - an oil-producing town without any decent school, running water, roads or electricity.  A town whose natural resources is sustaining Nigeria at the expense of itself and other towns and villages in the Niger Delta.  Our day shall come.

and who builds most of these schools and gets water? the federal government? i wonder why they just refuse to hold the state governments responsible, and they lash out as soon as anyone wants them to clearly define their wants- and how they want it achieved. The best the federal government can do is allocate funds to the states- by the way statistics shows that those states receive most allocations. Question your state government first before you hold the federal accountable. The governors are so silent, im starting to believe they are the brains behind the whole mission. corrupt devils.  federal, state, and militant, all of em!
Just saw the video. its all in the hands of the oil companies, and law enforcement to enforce the ruling. or the militants could help them enforce it, not fight the government. i like the people sha.

shot in d head & still alive?

"they'll plea bargain"

Abeeeeeegi!,

FBI and bush's government should first of all remove the timber in their own eyes before coming to nigeria to point out the speck in our own eyes.

Em, i wish we just have a speck in our eyes

  Large Hadron Collider is activated
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
Last Updated: 9:01am BST 10/09/2008




Scientists have switched on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the device they hope will unravel some of the remaining mysteries of the universe.

At 9.30 am local time (8.30 am British Summer Time), 300 feet below the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, the most powerful particle accelerator ever built became fully operational.

Large Hadron Collider facts | How it works
Legal bid to stop CERN atom smasher from 'destroying the world'
The team was holding its breath in the countdown to the switch-on after a series of technical hitches, including problems with the cooling system.

   
Will the Large Hadron Collider cause the end of the world?


The £5 billion machine has been described as a 17-mile racetrack around which two streams of protons - building blocks of matter - run in opposite directions before smashing into one another. Reaching 99.99 per cent of the speed of light, each beam will pack as much energy as a Eurostar train travelling at 90 mph.

The flashes from the collisions may help scientists reproduce the conditions that existed during the first moments after the Big Bang at the birth of the universe.

Physicists hope to learn more about the origins of mass, gravity and mysterious dark matter.

But concerns have been voiced - in particular by the German chemist Professor Otto Rossler - that black holes created by the LHC will grow uncontrollably and “eat the planet from the inside”.

These claims have been dismissed by leading scientists, including Prof Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University who said that the LHC is “feeble compared with what goes on in the universe. If a disaster was going to happen, it would have happened already.”

The switch-on saw the first stream of subatomic particles - known as Hadrons - circulating in the tunnel. The first collisions are expected in around 30 days.

The LHC will produce beams seven times more energetic than any previous machine, and around 30 times more intense when it reaches its design performance, probably by 2010.



Faith that the collision will not have dire consequenses on earth has been based on unsubstantial deductions. Actual simulations of the effects has not been arranged for a collision of this magnitude. Scientists say that chances of the black hole destroying Geneva or earth is very slim. No matter how slim the chances, is it worth the risk? What do you think people? or should we just trust the scientists-they make our world better. Why was the project revealed to the world when it neared completion? the investment on 5billion dollars is egregious for the purpose of just answering the question about where we came from. Do you think politics is involved here?.   


and i think im in the wrong forum. ignore

ha ha kip it comin peeps

"how can a city from such a notoriously poverty-stricken region of the world rise to join this list of riches?"

for some reason, im annoyed.

x

em not very clear

gud 1 david. It all comes down to hard work. Accepting that there are in born levels of brilliance in different people is the first leap away from a first class. I won't settle for a 2 though it takes me an hr to grasp a page.

ima1:
no secret, they study like their life depends on it, n of course it does, they have got their priorities straight, they do their best n let God do the rest. they don't see the need to be frolicking around with cult and women atimes because they know their parents sent them to school to do one thing which is study and pass. so there is no two way about or secrets, they study their azz off.

Im with u there.

interestn thread. i respect RSA 4 his inputs. he tried not to insult nigerians all d way. jus free d guy abeg

And SA is nice. wish dem luck hosting d cup. They mess up, Africa messd up (U wont b hearing Cape town or Jburg in d foreign commentries. its Africa africa *hiss*), we might as well support

ok. dis is d place.

now we'l relax and watch wot happens to dat embarassing fifa ranking. twenty wetin

i believe ronaldinho is under 23

MandingoII:
Congratulations nigerians, First thing ya'll ever did without cheat.

hun hun? *hiss*

and you were saying something about the people responsible for the spoilt reputation

@ Papabrown i was about to swim and i don't know how lol. Oh d costs! family shares dt burden, and i have some godfather pastors dt help. Even with all d aid here and there,  .

The biggest field here is Law, then Management followed by banking and finance. So big that as soon as u graduate, its likely you are scheduled for an interview. They are short of doctors here so the few Nigerian doctors are living big, and so many well to do nurses. They need help with their IT industry- I met this young nigerian a few days ago, and heard that he swiftly rose to become the best graphic designer here. The few Nigerians here work really really hard, they are the best at whatever they do.

I really recommend Barbados for anyone that wants opportunities. Its just 275000 people in Barbados, 1 major university serving the West Indies, so they are short of labour. You have a 70% chance of starting off big as soon as you graduate. Iv not seen a high school graduate without a good job. If you are coming here for a masters degree, boy you're in luck! you can be sure of returns on your 8k.

Just close your eyes to the expenses for a few months, u might be lucky to get a part time job as a graduate, close your eyes to the attitudes of a few locals, get the very best result, and that is it. Education is virtually free for Barbadians and Eastern Caribbean nationals so they don't take it seriously. You'ld find youself leading your program because you know how much you suffered for dt 8k. Anyway, more intelligent Nigerians here please!

(and yes, there hav been a few stories of illegal immigrants,  some Nigerians and Ghanaians chartered an flight to barbados, and the airline refused/forgot to pick them up
they were stranded and treated like trash, put in their military jails and fed horribly though they did nothing wrong. because they were nigerians, they assumed whatever,  they would av put american tourists in the best hotels. It was after they embarrassed them and returned them that they found them not guilty- flight fault. It was horrible. the news was all over " a bunch of AFRICANS are stranded in Barbados" just like they would report a group of penguins are stranded in Nigeria, hmm)

do not expect total paradise though.

just chekd. He just dived in and didnt come back up. Sad. Anywayzzz hmm. wot were we saying

vikiviko just spoiled my day. was about to do the same

Oh wow she's a she!,.,.,.,.,   she's some she, 

International companies rush students with a second class upper here. Im quick to condemn, but if theres something i commend them for here, its the tertiary education. @ Roland the University processes the student visas for you as soon as you resume, so thats no problem. If you are legal, the caribbean is yours to tour, and maybe short visits to the states. the application process is not too complicated as well. U av no problems.
