A Niger Delta militant group, ‘The Supreme Egbesu Liberation Fighters’, has threatened to launch attacks in major cities. The militants said they would target infrastructure in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja and commercial hub, Lagos. The threat was issued in a video posted on Tuesday by Africa Independent Television (AIT). It showed a number of men dressed in military uniform with covered faces. They danced around and brandished rifles. The group accused the federal government of marginalising the South-South region. It also condemned the amnesty programme. The militants lamented that oil-producing states had no schools, no potable water, no light, no hospital and access roads. They decried the state of the Ogoni clean-up project, adding that government places politics above the people. The militants demanded resource control for the South-South, the same way the federal government allowed Zamfara to control gold mining. “The Nigerian government over the years has decided to handle the issues of the Niger Delta with kid gloves. They have betrayed the struggle and have left the people to their fate. “Rather, what is visible is the presence of military gunboat and the numerous military personnel dispersed to the Niger Delta, who are killing, raping, and maiming the innocent people of the region”, one of the militants read from a paper. https://dailypost.ng/2021/02/23/breaking-niger-delta-militants-threaten-to-attack-abuja-lagos-video/ |

bisa forest By Ibrahim Ramalan February 20, 2021 tiamin rice Nigerian soldiers have overrun a farm allegedly owned by Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in the Sambisa forest, just as the military troops successfully repelled ISWAP terrorists who attacked Dikwa town on Friday evening. In a video obtained by PRNigeria, the troops stormed the farm in the Sambisa axis and invited some locals to help themselves with edibles before destroying the farm. The troops could be heard mocking the sect leader and asking him to come out from the hiding. Meanwhile, the Nigerian troops in Dikwa after repelling the attack by ISWAP nabbed two men suspected to be terrorist informants living in the community. PRNigeria had reported the damning activities of local informants who are actively sabotaging the efforts of Nigerian troops by revealing their position and movements to the terrorists. An intelligence source told PRNigeria that the terrorists invaded a military Super Camp unit on the northern axis of the town on several light trucks mounted with Heavy Machine Guns (HMGs). “The terrorists suspected to be aided by informants approached the base from two axes. “One of the groups attacked from the northern axis towards Marte road, while the other group approached the base from the north-eastern axis towards Gajibo road. “The troops on the ground had got a signal of the attempted invasion and retreated to Ajiri Community in the Southern axis, where they relaunched counter-attacks with troops from Gulumba. “A Ground Force Close Air Support (CAS) component deployed also attacked the terrorists from the air destroying their guntrucks and makeshift camps.” PRNigeria further gathered that the terrorists are coordinating their recent attacks from their new base in Andakar with some commanders and mercenaries from neighbouring countries. https://dailynigerian.com/video-nigerian-troops-shekau/# |

How first coup still haunts Nigeria 50 years on Published15 January 2016 Share Undated file picture of Colonel Odumegwu Emeka Ojukwu, the leader of the breakaway Republic of Biafra, giving a press conference during the Biafra war IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionA civil war broke out soon after the military seized power in 1966 Although most of Nigeria's current population of about 170 million was not born when the country's first coup was staged 50 years ago, its legacy lingers on, writes Nigerian historian and author Max Siollun. On 15 January 1966, a group of young, idealistic, UK-trained army majors overthrew Nigeria's democratic government in a violent military coup. The coup leaders described it as a brief and temporary revolution to end corruption and ethnic rivalry. Instead, it made them worse. The coup exposed the vulnerability of the Nigerian state, and how simple it was to use soldiers to attack the government, rather than protect it. A succession of increasingly repressive military governments ruled Nigeria for 29 of the next 33 years, until the restoration of democracy in 1999. Here are four ways in which Nigeria - Africa's most populous state and leading oil producer - is still affected by the events of 1966: line Biafra protests A pro-Biafra supporter chants a song in Aba, southeastern Nigeria, during a protest calling for the release of a key activist on November 18, 2015 IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionMany ethnic Igbos feel politically marginalised in Nigeria Protesters in south-east Nigeria have recently demanded the region's secession from Nigeria and the formation of a new country called Biafra. The Biafra movement's origins can be traced back to the January 1966 coup. The officers who staged the coup were mostly Christian southerners from the Igbo ethnic group, and they assassinated several northerners, including the four highest-ranking northern army officers, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa, and Northern Region Premier Ahmadu Bello (both Muslims from the north). Army commander Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, an Igbo, suppressed the coup, but seized power himself. Northerners interpreted the coup as an Igbo-led conspiracy to subjugate the north and impose Igbo domination. Six months later, northern soldiers staged another even bloodier counter-coup against their Igbo colleagues. Northern mobs killed around 30,000 Igbos, and Igbos fled south, and in the following year sought to form a new breakaway country called Biafra. Northerners living in Igbo areas were also killed in revenge attacks. Although the army suppressed the attempt at secession after a brutal civil war, bitterness remains 50 years later. Undated file picture of Colonel Odumegwu Emeka Ojukwu, the leader of the breakaway Republic of Biafra, giving a press conference during the Biafra war IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionThe late Emeka Ojukwu led the attempt to create a separate state in the south-east Unaddressed grievances from 1966 lie at the heart of the Biafra movement's resurgence. Many Igbos feel that Nigeria regards them as a fifth column and is still punishing them for their previous attempt at secession. Should new protests worry Nigeria? line Corruption Youths celebrate on March 31, 2015 the victory of main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Mohammadu Buhari in Abuja IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionA sitting president was voted out of office for the first time in March One of the coup leaders Major Nzeogwu said: "We wanted to get rid of rotten and corrupt ministers… We wanted to gun down the bigwigs in our way." His coup unwittingly entrenched the presence of "rotten and corrupt ministers". His best friend was a young western army officer named Major Olusegun Obasanjo. Ten years later, he found himself at the head of a different military government. It promulgated a new constitution that gave the government ownership of all mineral resources. A protestor sports a an anti-corruption T-shirt on January 9, 2012 in Lagos during a demonstration against the more than doubling of petrol prices after government abolished fuel subsidies. IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionMany Nigerians feel corruption is endemic in government Can corruption be defeated? This provision encouraged corruption and the do-or-die nature of Nigeria's elections, as winners now had control over the country's vast mineral wealth. It is also the source of much bitterness in Nigeria's oil-producing areas, and a cause of the latent Niger Delta insurgency which rocked Nigeria for several years and severely disrupted its oil industry. line 'Class of 1966' The January 1966 coup propelled a group of young military officers onto the national stage. Now wealthy septuagenarian grandfathers, they still wield enormous influence in Nigerian politics.

His withdrawal of support for then-President Goodluck Jonathan was one factor in his presidential election defeat last year, and the victory of current President Muhammadu Buhari. As a young officer, Mr Buhari was among the young northern officers who in July 1966 staged the counter-coup against the Igbo majors. The influence of retired military officers is so pervasive that Mr Jonathan is the only president in Nigeria's history who had no personal or family involvement in the 1966 crisis and the ensuing civil war.

A man walks past a the scene of a bombing after at least 20 people were killed when a young female suicide bomber detonated her explosives at a bus station in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on June 22, 2015 in an attack likely to be blamed on Boko Haram IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionAn insurgency by militant Islamists has devastated north-eastern Nigeria Last year, Nigeria's then-national security adviser admitted that previous governments' wariness of the coup-prone army made them reluctant to upgrade its weaponry. Years of strategic military under-investment recently came back to haunt Nigeria when soldiers facing Islamist militant group Boko Haram complained that they were under-equipped to fight the insurgents. This coup issue also partly explains why Nigerian authorities react with such severity to any disobedience by soldiers. Nigerian soldiers shoot into the air during a ceremony to mark the release of suspected detainees cleared of being members of Boko Haram Islamists in Maiduguri, Borno State on July 6, 2015 IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionTroops have been battling to end Boko Haram's six-year insurgency Surviving Boko Haram Inside militant stronghold Yet, ironically, Nigeria partially owes its continued existence to the near obsessive desire to avoid a repeat of the 1966 bloodshed. The young military firebrands have mellowed and talk their way out of crisis rather than blasting their way into it. The elaborate power-sharing arrangements in Nigeria's constitution, and the unwritten rule requiring rotation of political power between the north and south are legacies of the mistrust engendered in 1966. Nigeria has matured. So have its former coup leaders. * Max Siollun is a Nigerian historian, writer, and author of the books Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture 1966-1976 and Soldiers of Fortune: a History of Nigeria (1983-1993 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35312370 |

HOW CAPTAIN EMMANUEL NWOBOSI MURDERED LADOKE AKINTOLA IN 1966 “Akintola, come down; you are for lawful arrest by the army on orders from HQ 2 Brigade,” Nwobosi shouted. “Under arrest ke?” Akintola said to himself, “Oya, come and greet your mother’s husband,” as he cocked his gun. When Nwobosi hit the door in an attempt to force it open, the Premier opened fire from inside his bedroom with a submachine gun, shooting contiguously and continuously through the closed door. “Return fire,” Captain Nwobosi ordered his men, which they did, enormously. “Please sir, surrender sir. Stop shooting, please. They only came to take us to Lagos,” Fani-Kayode pleaded and shouted from the landrover urging the Premier to cease firing and surrender. But the Premier kept on firing until he ran out of ammunition. Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola was the 13th Aare Ona Kakanfo (Field Marshal General) of Yorubaland. A title, whose holder, according to a widely believed myth, was not expected to live long nor experience a calm death. “Krrr, krrr,” the gun sounded. The Premier had run out of ammunition but the captain and his soldiers did not know this, they thought he was reloading and waiting for them. Akintola, now powerless, held out a white handkerchief in a sign of surrender and proceeded to the verandah. Ajao and Uloh who had been hiding in one of the other rooms grabbed him by his arms and dragged him downstairs. “Bring him out, bring him out,” Nwobosi shouted repeatedly after the firing had ceased and he sighted his soldiers with the Premier downstairs. “Now, now, boys. Be gentle. We are friends here,” Akintola said resignedly. “You shot at us. You resisted arrest. It was a direct order from the HQ,” Nwobosi thundered, “we are to eliminate anyone who resisted arrest.” “Boys, it is for the good of the country. Why don’t we negotiate? I will see to it that you treated well. I have the Prime Minister’s ears,” Akintola cajoled. “We are soldiers, sir. We obey direct orders. Egbikor, Chukwu,” Nwobosi called his soldiers and signalled to the two men to open fire on the Premier. Fani-Kayode stared in horror as the Premier endured a deluge of bullets as he fell to his knees still gasping for breath. Nwobosi then joined them in firing at the Premier as he fell backward with a thud as life hurriedly escaped from him. The Captain and his men then released the policemen and proceeded with Fani-Kayode in the landrover to Lagos as the 3-Ton truck headed towards Abeokuta. They all left Akintola’s mutilated body, riddled with bullets, surrounded by empty shell casings soaked in blood, lying there on the bare ground in his courtyard. The Aare Ona Kakanfo had fallen to his death. The curse persists. #HistoryVille Source: Page 70-74, A Carnage Before Dawn, Based on Nigeria’s First Coup D’état.

Idi Ogungun Police Station. Built in 1929 by their great grand fathers. Razed 91 years after by their great grand sons. Just can't fathom why the trending "parro" by hoodlums in Ibadan is arson. Must they, the irate bikers, result into jungle justice! Has our security system collapsed: God forbid. Something urgent needs to be done before these crime emboldened hoodlums start knocking our doors with open impunity.

Brigadier Ibrahim Bako (1941-1983) was chosen to arrest President Shehu Shagari because his father was a personal friend to the president. Unknown to Bako, the coup was leaked to Shagari and his guards were on high alert. He was killed while attempting to arrest the president during the December 31, 1983, coup d'etat. Major-General Buhari's Supreme Military Council (SMC) observed a minute of silence for the slain Bako during its maiden meeting. #HistoryVille
