PRESS RELEASE

NORTH EAST BECOMING UNBEARABLE TO TERRORISTS AS TROOPS INTENSIFY CLEARANCE OPERATIONS, *Neutralise 3 terrorists
*Capture 2 Gun Trucks
*2 Anti Aircraft Guns and
*1 Motorcycle

Following sustained robust and aggressive clearance operations, in recent days, troops had recorded tremendous successes in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North East. Dozens of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters were annihilated, large cache of assorted arms, ammunition and so many variants of gun trucks and other fighting vehicles were captured.

Additionally and most importantly, the operation resulted in the rescue and eventual liberation of over 100 women and children from the grip of the criminals/terrorists.

Therefore, in order to consolidate on the numerous
successes so far achieved, the rugged troops of 112 Task Force Battalion deployed at Mafa in Borno State had effectively dealt ruthlessly with members of BHTs/ISWAP terrorists in Mafa, Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State, when some terrorists attempted to attack Mafa on 24 June 2019.

The terrorists failed attack on Mafa was as a result of available intelligence indicating the desperate longing for food and other logistics by terrorists necessitated by the recent, incredibly tireless and ferocious troops' operational exploits.

During the failed attack, terrorists in 5 gun trucks and several motor cycles were seen. Consequently, the troops reacted swiftly with heavy fire power forcing the terrorists to scamper for their dear lives, and recovered 2 Gun Trucks mounted with Anti Aircraft Guns and a motorcycle and the extermination of three (3) terrorists. There were indications that some of the insurgents members were wounded in an exchange of fire.

The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division and Commander Sector 1 Operation Lafiya Dole, Brigadier General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu had since visited the conflict location with reinforcement.

While being conducted round the camp to assess the situation, the GOC urged the troops to remain focus and not to be carried away by the successes. He directed them to redouble their efforts and doggedly maintain the momentum until they win the war on terrorism for Nigeria through total victory against the bandits.

Similarly, he assured them of the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai's continued appreciation and support in the collective struggle to crush the insurgency.

The Defence Industries Corporation (DICON) and the Nigerian Army
Vehicle Manufacturing Company (NAVMC) Kaduna will unveil the first
indigenous light Tactical Vehicle jointly produced by the
organisations.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai said this Thursday while
some new combat vehicles produced by the NAVMC in conjunction with
DICON, in Rigachukwu, Kaduna state.

He said the collaboration between the two organisations is yielding
positive result with the production of indigenous military equipment
including vehicles and weapons, which he said would go a long way in
curtailing insecurity in the country.

“I know everybody is concern about insecurity, but unfortunately over
the years since 1960s we have not made any serious headway in local
Defence production. If this one takeoff as we envisage we will no
longer cry of insecurity, God’s willing,” he said.

The army chief said the DICON, a civil-driven establishment under the
Ministry of Defence, would soon be turn around by the new
Director-General, Maj. Gen. Victor Ezugwu, who resume recently at his
new appointment.

Maj. Gen. Ezugwu was, until his recent appointment, the Group Managing
Director of the NAVMC.

The army chief, accompanied by some principal staff officers from the
Army Headquarters Abuja, the Director General of DICON and other
senior officers serving in Kaduna state, also test run Light Combat
Vehicle and Light Tactical vehicles produced by the organisations, and
inspected the improvement on the locally produced mine- sweeper. He
also inspected some equipment at the company’s production plant.

The attention of the Nigerian Army was drawn to a fallacious and concocted report by saharareporters.com on Sunday, 16 June 2019 which claimed that Boko Haram terrorists launched an attack on soldiers at a military base in Damasak, Borno State at about 7 PM on Saturday, 15 June 2019. This report is completely false in its entirety as no such attack or attempted attack by Boko Haram on Damasak ever occurred in recent times.

The publication further claimed to have authoritatively detailed plans on the said attack which intelligence they purported received from a top military source. This false report has brught to fore the despicable role of some media and social media outlets who appear to be advancing the terrorists false narrative and propaganda to deceive the unwary. This penchant for mischief has been consistently observed on some media outlets, especially saharareporters.com. It should also be pointed out that Boko Haram tell such lies as part of their propaganda activities and the general public is well advised to take such reports with a pinch of salt.

The general public is therefore urged to discountenance the false propaganda which has no basis on reality as the Nigerian Army continues to deal decisively with the remnants of the terrorists and clearing them from their remaining hideouts.

SPEECH BY IGP MOHAMMED A. ADAMU, NPM, mni, ON 17TH JUNE, 2019 DURING THE CONFERENCE WITH SENIOR POLICE OFFICERS HELD AT THE IGP CONFERENCE HALL, FORCE HEADQUARTERS, ABUJA.

Let me sincerely welcome you all to this Conference which is convened in furtherance to my policy of constantly engaging strategic Police Commanders to undertake periodic review of internal security situation in the country. This is with a view to proffering pragmatic and far-reaching solutions to crimes in the country. In this regard, the Conference will review the pattern and trend of crimes over the past one month, highlight our achievements, identify our challenges, geo-locate the current security threats and evaluate strategies with a view to strengthening our crime management template.

2. Within this context, it is noted that while there are still isolated cases of internal security breaches which often attract publicity and national attention, the crime rate in recent times has been on the decline. This is in contrast to the crime records over the preceding months.

3. The foregoing is consequent upon the enhancement of the institutional capacity of the Nigeria Police to respond to internal security threats and undertake intelligence-led operations. The successes achieved are linked to ‘Operation Puff Adder’ which has been a very potent anti-crime vehicle of the Nigeria Police.

4. Sequel to the launch of Operation Puff Adder in all the States of the Federation and other security strategies recently emplaced to address internal security threats, a total number of Four Hundred and Twenty Four (424) kidnappers were arrested between 10th May, 2019, and 14th, June, 2019. The highest number of One Hundred and one (101) kidnap suspects were arrested in Kaduna State, followed by Katsina State with Seventy Nine (79) arrests. Fifty Four (54) suspects were apprehended in Nasarawa State and Thirty Two (32) in Taraba State.

5. In the same vein, a total of Forty Four (44) murder suspects were arrested during the period under review, with the highest number of Seven (7) in FCT and Six (6) in Kano State. In addition, Two Hundred and Seventy Six (276) armed robbery suspects were arrested within the same period with the highest number of Thirty Eight (38) in Edo State, followed by Twenty Five (25) in Nasarawa State and Twenty Three (23) in FCT. Similarly, a total of ten thousand, eight hundred and sixty (10,860) ammunition of various descriptions and calibre were recovered while a total of Three hundred and One (301) firearms including a Rocket Launcher, AK47 assault rifles, pistols and locally made gun, were similarly recovered from criminal elements across the country, with the highest number of eighty (80) in Katsina State, followed by Edo State with Twenty six (26) and Kaduna State with twenty-five (25). Furthermore, One Hundred and Seventy Six (176) suspected cultists were arrested across the country while Seventy Seven (77) stolen vehicles were recovered by Operation Puff Adder operatives nationwide between 10th May, 2019 and 14th June, 2019, with the highest number of Twenty nine (29) in FCT.

6. It is to be emphasized that the achievements were recorded with the cooperation of members of the public in a manner that clear demonstrates the increasing determination of the citizens to support the Police in restoring internal security. It was also the result of the sacrifice, courage, zeal and exceptional dedication of Police Commanders and other ranks.

7. I therefore wish to use the opportunity of this forum to immensely thank all well-meaning Nigerians for their support and to commend you and other personnel of the Nigeria Police across all ranks for aligning to my policing vision and supporting the implementation of the strategies emplaced towards restoring internal security. We might have taken giant steps against crime and criminality but the battle is still far from being over. I therefore charge you to sustain the sense of commitment to duty as it represents a sacred call to national duty.

8. I remain conscious of the challenges across all Commands/Formations and I can assure you that concerted efforts are being made with the support of Mr. President to tackle and bring far-reaching solutions to these challenges.

9. I want to reassure the citizens that the Nigeria Police has emplaced frameworks that will facilitate the strengthening of operation Puff Adder and ensure the sustenance of its gains. This includes plans directed at re-organising and re-launching the Safer Highway and Safer City Models of Policing which will entail the acquisition of new fleet of vehicles that will be deployed to dominate the public space as well as the emplacement of CCTV and other cutting-edge technologies for city surveillance.

10. The current attempts at adopting and implementing the concept of Community Policing also represents part of enduring strategies aimed at changing the policing narratives of the country. This will ensure the effective integration of the citizens to our internal security framework, guarantee the concept of policing by public consent and build partnership required to address peculiar communal threats.

11. In this regard, I want to charge all you all as strategic Police Commanders to redouble your efforts in ensuring the safety and protection of lives and property in your areas of jurisdiction while you provide the requisite leadership to officers and men under your supervision to desist from acts that widen the gap between the Police and the community as it is only when we present a common front that we can defeat the criminals that constitute our common enemies.

12. Finally, I wish to assure Nigerians of our firm commitment to sustain the war against crimes by taking the battle to the door steps of criminal elements in furtherance to our mission to guarantee the safety and security of our communities. We only request one thing which is the continued goodwill, understanding, and support of all citizens across socio-economic background.

13. I Thank you all and I look forward to a professionally rewarding conference.

NAF SUSTAINS AIR STRIKES AGAINST TERRORISTS TARGETS, DEGRADES ANOTHER HIDEOUT IN SAMBISA FOREST

In continuation of its sustained air strikes against terrorists’ targets in Borno State, the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has severely degraded another Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) hideout in the Sambisa Forest. The operation was executed yesterday, 16 June 2019, after persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions revealed heavy presence of BHTs at a new camp with several structures hidden under the thick foliage of the Forest. Accordingly, the ATF dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the location. Its bombs hit the target area, with devastating effects on several of the camouflaged structures, neutralizing their BHT occupants.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain the effort to completely degrade the terrorists in the Northeast.

Just my opinion, and in other words, the Military is doing a good job in containing them in that sector, but they could do much better obviously .

I don't get it when you say Ghana can't confront Bokoharam or their brand of fighting.
It takes decisive leadership to tackle terrorism, look at what they did to troublesome herdsmen. In Nigeria we romance evil because our kinsmen is involved. That Nigeria has not solved this problem big terrorism and banditry is simply because we are not yet ready to fight terrorism, all we do is to loot and pilfer resources when we have the opportunity. The leadership of this country (military and political) have failed us, you need no magician to tell you that Nigeria is 70% becoming a failed state, if nothing is done about this issue even the military which is the last bastion holding the unity of the country will be balkanized along ethnic and religious lines. The signs are already there, some of the soldiers are complaining bitterly, we might witness an implosion. God forbid
look there is no need to argue we all have our point have should try and understand one another.we should be thankful that BHT didn't escalate more than what it is now yht people trying to protect Nigeria are not animals but fathers to little children..they leave their families behind just to make sure a whole nation is safe...if we new what happened in Syria and Iraq you will praise our forces and thank GOD for Nigeria....ISIS nearly took over all of IRAQ if not for the intervention of foreign forces...same as to BHT when attacks where reaching Abuja just imagine Abuja bomblast at Eagle Square...but we no longer have such....we should put our forces in the hands of God protect and pray the battle will be won

Ghana won't let any insurgency like boko haram exisit on their territory, they will crush them before they become powerful. You keep talking about NATO and Russia. Are they fighting terrorist on their territories? No terrorist can flourish, hold territories and move freely on NATO or Russian territory. Nigeria is struggling against terrorist on Nigerian territory.
Remember the 911 attack..... Terrorists must not move from one country to another they develop in house.. Secondly Ghana cannot I repeat they cannot handle ISWAP look BHT is defeated if u take note terrorist launching hit and run attack are foreign.... though we have lost good amount of troops we will never give up on the fight...

Terrorist can only flourish in failing states like Nigeria, Somali, Afghanistan etc can terrorist be dragging territories and controlling territories in serious countries like Ghana or SA. Did you saw the way Fulani herdsmen were ruthlessly dealt with by the Ghanian army? Did you watch what their COAS said to his troops? That's how you will know a serious country from a useless one.

Nigeria is the only country I have seen where herdsmen will come to your territory, kill you and the government will find and excuse for the terrorist.

I do laugh whenever I see some people always given one excuse or the other why the Nigeria military do lose against boko haram grin they will tell you boko haram do have an advantage in the raining season or tell you boko haram only attack FOB grin

The Lt colonel that was killed must be in charge of a FOB with 10 soldiers lipsrsealed

Foolish talks
you think Ghana can handle insurgency.... didn't you see the amount of military that it took to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria Russia, France USA, turkey and their various national armies even France had to deploy it's aircraft carrier..... Didn't Russia experience setbacks in Syriahuh You can't blame the troops but our leaders Nigeria is determined to win this war but ISIS keeps showing its ugly since it's a fight they want that's what they will get....there must always be setbacks in some missions no nation can have superhuman troops that will always win even special forces can be defeated just like what happened in niger when three US army ranger were killed in an ambush
