The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao has stated that a committee of officers has been instituted to compile all allegations of accidental air strikes on civilians as well as review the circumstances leading to such strikes. This, according to him, was with a view to proffering far-reaching measures that would mitigate future incidences of collateral damages on civilians during Nigerian Air Force (NAF) operations. Air Marshal Amao stated this on Thursday, 27 October 2022 at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Air Operations Seminar holding at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State from 27-28 October 2022. Speaking further, Air Marshal Amao noted that the investigation further aims at promoting accountability, allowing the NAF to learn valuable lessons in order to avoid or mitigate similar cases in the future as well as taking extra measures to minimize civilian harm and casualties in conflict areas. While congratulating 17 young pilots winged as a highlight during the opening ceremony of the Seminar, Air Marshal Amao implored the pilots to be prepared for the arduous task ahead noting that, “There is no better way to launch you into your operational flying career than to have you draw from the rich operational experiences of seasoned pilots who will be discussing germane issues relevant to air operations.” Specifically, Air Marshal Amao reminded the young pilots to always adhere to the laid down Rules of Engagement while also taking all necessary steps to protect civilians and minimize civilian casualties during operations. According to him, “The efforts to mitigate civilian casualties are not just a reflection of NAF values as a Service, but also strategically imperative to our operations.” The CAS went on to remind the gathering of the security challenges currently impinging on the Nation’s stability and noted that the Armed Forces of Nigeria has made significant gains in curtailing and degrading the resources and capabilities of miscreants that seek to destabilize the Nation. In particular, he praised the efforts of the NAF at unleashing the coercive effects of air power, particularly on terrorists through intensive air interdiction of their locations and facilities. These punitive strikes, according to the CAS, have degraded their resources, disrupted their supply lines, and denied them their freedom of movement. Welcoming other participants and invitees to the Seminar, Air Marshal Amao stated that the theme of the Operations Seminar, “Harnessing Nigerian Air Force Combat Experience in Joint Military Operations for Doctrinal Development,” was borne out of the need to draw instructions from the diverse and rich air combat experiences towards the development of sound doctrinal principles to guide future engagements. He said this is large because lessons learnt from previous campaigns remain veritable sources of input for doctrinal development. “Hence the need to re-appraise our past operational successes and failures in order to re-strategize towards a more operationally effective NAF that can contribute to expeditiously ending the current scourge of insecurity,” he said. In doing so, however, Air Marshal Amao sought the need to take cognizance of the dynamism and complexities of the ever-changing security environment while adopting strategies that would promote NAF’s retention of credible air power capability to prosecute current and future warfare. In his remarks, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr Udom Emmanuel, noted that the NAF has lived up to its statutory responsibilities and objectives over the years considering its successful exploits in Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Gambia and Mali which have accorded great international recognition for Nigeria. He went on to note that the professionalism of the NAF under the leadership of Air Marshal OIadayo Amao has further given the Nigerian State a sense of hope and security. While acknowledging the great sacrifice that Nigeria’s prestigious serving and retired Airmen have made and continue to make towards the peace and progress of the country, he noted with conviction that with the pragmatic and dynamic leadership of Air Marshal Amao, the NAF will be provided with all that it requires to optimally contribute to securing the nation. On the sideline of the Operations Seminar, the NAF will on 28 October be conducting Sea Flying/Training Exercise using some selected NAF aircraft. The aim of the Exercise is basically to showcase the capabilities of the NAF as well as its presence in the ongoing air operations against crude oil theft in the South-south region of the country. It is also a training exercise that intends to improve aircrew skills in the tactical aspects of maritime operations thus enhancing their skills. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/10/accidental-air-strikes-naf-to-investigate-alleged-killing-of-civilians/ |
Will Manchester City move top of the Premier League, ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Nottingham Forest on Sunday? Last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s team swatted aside Brighton; Erling Braut Håland bagging a brace, before Kevin De Bruyne fired home from long-range. This helped cut the gap at the top to two points, with the champions desperate to be top of the pile by the time the World Cup comes around. In the Champions League, the Citizens have rubber stamped first place, despite only drawing with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. Riyāḍ Maḥrez seeing a second half penalty saved at Westfalenstadion. Leicester City meanwhile, only a matter of days ago, were rock bottom of the Premier League, but are now above the dreaded dotted line. First, the Foxes beat Leeds United at home before, last Sunday, demolishing Wolves 4-0 at Molineux. Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy all on target in the Black Country. This doesn’t tell the whole story though, with Wolves accumulating a higher xG, 1.85-1.04, while Leicester scored four of their five shots. Nevertheless, Brendan Rodgers’ side have taken ten points from their last five outings, alleviating some of the relegation concerns. Here though, Manchester City are highly likely to leave the King Power with all three points. Leicester City team news Given the nature of last weekend’s victory, Brendan Rodgers is likely to name an unchanged line-up. With Wilfred Ndidi out injured, Boubakary Soumaré will continue at the base of midfield. Wout Faes, their sole summer signing, has been excellent in recent weeks. He could continue to partner Daniel Amartey at the back, with Jonny Evans out injured and Çağlar Söyüncü out of favour. James Maddison has already scored six Premier League goals this term; his most productive campaign came last season, scoring 12. In attack, Jamie Vardy has scored nine times against Manchester City, but Patson Daka could continue to lead the line. Manchester City team news Pep Guardiola rotated for Tuesday’s trip to Dortmund, handing Stefan Ortega a debut in goal, while John Stones, Riyāḍ Maḥrez, Julián Álvarez and others came in. Manuel Akanji has started their last five league games at the back, so is set to return. Ederson in goal and midfielders Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva will also come back into the XI. Erling Braut Håland featured for 45 minutes against his former club in midweek he’s scored 22 times in 15 appearances so far. |
The Citizens carried their dominance from the Premier League to the CL, and comfortably sit at the top of the table. This Tuesday they are pitted against the second-placed Borussia Dortmund, and a win could confirm themselves as the group champions. The reason being, they have a lead of three points at the top of the table, and one more victory would put them six points clear, with a single game week remaining. This year seems like the best chance for Pep Guardiola and his boys to go after European glory. They have an in-form and immensely talented squad. And their results so far have built extraordinary momentum as well. In fact, they have a 100% winning record in the Champions League till now, barring a single draw. They also scored the most number of goals in the group, and conceded the least. Note that they have a combined scorecard of 11-1 so far. Meanwhile, Dortmund are yet to hit top form this season. They did register some impressive wins along the way, but consistency has always been an issue for them. They dropped a lot of points along the way, and also conceded goals in huge numbers. Moreover, they already lost the reverse fixture against the EPL title-holders, and this Tuesday they are under immense pressure to go after a win. This is not at all a good setup when you are pitted against Pep’s team, and the Spaniard would know just how to take advantage of this. |

For the first time since the opening day of last season, Manchester City suffered defeat away from home in the Premier League when they lost to rivals Liverpool in a fiery battle at Anfield last weekend, courtesy of a second-half strike from Mohamed Salah. Not even the exceptional goalscoring exploits of Erling Braut Haaland could break down Liverpool's resilient backline, and the Citizens have now failed to score in their last two matches, including the goalless Champions League draw with Copenhagen. Nevertheless, Pep Guardiola's side – who were named Club of the Year at the 2022 Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday – will be keen to bounce back quickly as they have slipped four points behind league leaders Arsenal. The Citizens have seven fixtures in all competitions before the World Cup, including five at the Etihad Stadium where they have won each of their last 12 games and scored a remarkable 51 goals. Indeed, this winning streak on home soil began with a 3-0 victory against Brighton in April last season, with Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva all on the scoresheet in the second half. City will fancy their chances of success again on Saturday and a victory would see them become just the second team in English top-flight history to secure 10 successive home wins after Aston Villa, who put together a 12-game winning run between March and December 1897, and a 13-match winning run between December 1930 and September 1931. |
