EXCLUSIVE: Nigerian Army Sends Reinforcement Troops From Borno To South-East In IPOB, ESN Showdown
Military sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the reinforcements were drawn from some battalions including the 231 Tank Battalion in Biu, Borno State, which is under the 3 Armoured Division, Jos, Plateau State.

The Nigerian military has drafted reinforcement troops from some of its formations fighting insurgency in Borno State to join the troops in the South-East region over the military’s clash with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its security arm, the Eastern Security Network (ESN). 

 
Military sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the reinforcements were drawn from some battalions including the 231 Tank Battalion in Biu, Borno State, which is under the 3 Armoured Division, Jos, Plateau State.


As of January 2021, the Commanding Officer of the 231 Battalion, Biu, was a southerner, Lt. Col. M. E. Obi, who is ordinarily versed with the workings of the South-East, but it is not sure whether he will be in the South-East alongside the reinforcements.

 
“Yes, some troops are moving from the North-East to the South-East as reinforcements. They started moving from Wednesday. Among them are those from the 231 Tank Battalion; they are believed to be more trained in quelling uprisings,” a top source confirmed.

 
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday held a meeting with the service chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, telling them to adopt certain security measures in the South-East and the South-South geopolitical zones of the country.

 
SaharaReporters had on Tuesday reported that military sources familiar with the development said some of the measures which Buhari approved for the two zones were regular operational procedures to curb the growing violence.

 
“The police and military have been recording casualties in the South-East during raids and gun battles with the criminals disturbing the region. Therefore, the focus would shift more to air power in the coming weeks. Combat helicopters and other aircraft would be deployed to conduct massive raids on the hideouts from the air. It does not matter whether the hideouts are for the Indigenous People of Biafra or its armed outfit, what the military is looking for are criminals,” the source had revealed.

 
“There is also the likelihood of arrest of more traditional rulers, community heads and chiefs by the security agencies to extract key information. The army and police believe that the traditional and community intelligence will be important to suppress the IPOB and ESN uprising. The South-East states have to warn their traditional rulers against conniving with the agitators. You see how many traditional rulers were arrested, sanctioned, detained and dethroned in the North-West for conniving with bandits. The same table is turning to the South-East and South-South regions,” another security source had revealed.

 
SaharaReporters had gathered that the police and the army operatives were still conducting intelligence operations in the South-East and South-South, and will intensify their reach based on the new President’s directive.

 
SaharaReporters had reported on May 3 that security officials, due to the precarious situation had deserted their stations, and now prefer to go to work in mufti the few times they go there.

 
It had been gathered that most policemen, particularly those who are not Igbo indigenes, are desperately seeking for redeployments amidst fear of the incessant attacks by “unknown gunmen.”

 
SaharaReporters had on April 19 reported that most policemen in Abia wear mufti, after heavily armed men attacked Uzuakoli Police Station in the Bende Local Government Area in a string of attacks on other stations.

Family petitions Sanwo-Olu over herdsmen invasion of Epe farm

The Ali Moibi-Balogun family of Odo-Egiri town in the Eredo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State has petitioned the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Inspector General of Police, appealing for their intervention to reclaim their land from some herdsmen.

The letter petition titled, ‘Invasion: Iganke Farmland, Odo-Egiri, Epe, Lagos,’ was dated May 10, 2021 and signed by the family lawyer,  Adeyemi Adegbite.

The family said they petitioned the governor after the police in Noforija, Epe, allegedly branded them as suspects after they complained that their farmland had been invaded by the herdsmen who also threatened to wreck more havoc on the community.

The petition reads partly, “We hereby most humbly urge your Excellency to deploy your very good offices to intervene in this matter, cause a discreet investigation is to be conducted, and ensure that our society is not turned into a lawless one where might is right and where power can be hijacked by a few powerful and privileged individual or group of individuals to the detriment of the common and law-abiding citizens.”

Ali Moibi-Balogun family added that they were the owners of a large expanse of land housing Iganke farmland, “by virtue of inheritance from their forbearers since time immemorial according to the Yoruba custom and tradition.”

The family explained that the herdsmen’s incursion on the land was first noticed on the 4th March 2021.

The family noted that the herdsmen raided the farmland, shooting sporadically, forcing the staff working there to flee. They added that the whereabouts of a pregnant woman was unknown.

The petition added, “On April 22, 2021, another attack was carried out on our client, this time on their (our client’s) residence. As we speak, the herdsmen are fully settled and are chasing everyone away, threatening our client’s lives and the police at Noforija have lost hope of combating this menace.”

Southern leaders are obviously playing with the lives of their people. We don't need a prophet to know that boko haram and bandits have taken over the north. What preparation are they making? Are they still waiting for fulani president or Fulani army to stop Fulani jihad? The internet has been flooded with pictures of boko haram and bandit sharing relief materials. I don't know what the south is waiting for before leaving this boko caliphate. Let's use our brains and leave the north to their religion. It is suicidal sharing a country with this set of people.

These "Un-gun known men' are common criminals who are out for revenge against their perceived security personnels.

Unfortunately some disgruntled Easterners are cheering them up ignorantly or mischievously.
It is insanity to cut your noise in order to spite your face.

Councillor Who Built Bridge With Fund Meant To Buy Her Official Car Rejects Donations

Few days ago, the unusual act of service of a councillor named Hon. Onem Tyna Miracle to the people of her community in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa state shocked Nigerians.

The honourable councillor was reported to have used money she was given to purchase her official car to complete the building project of a bridge linking two communities in Ogbia LGA. Even when the community chiefs tried to discourage her from embarking on the project because they thought it might be too big for her to handle, she insisted that she was going to embark on it even if it was the only thing she can do for her people as councillor. She adds that this is a sacrifice she had to make because she sees it as something more important than driving a car at the moment.

Her story, after it was reported attracted a lot of commendations from Nigerians on social media who praised the selfless attitude she displayed to alleviate the sufferings of her people.

Today, Hon. Onem Tyna Miracle has just revealed on her Twitter handle that she will be turning down donations from Nigerians for any purpose whatsoever. While she appreciates the gesture of those behind the donations, she said she wants to focus on making lasting impact with the little at her disposal and believes that the Governor of Bayelsa state, Senator Duoye Diri, will give her the support she needs to do more for her people.

This is obviously the kind of leadership qualities a lot of Nigerians will like see our elected leaders display more often. I pray Hon. Onem Tyna will continue to imbibe these leadership qualities as she moves up the ladder in her career as a politician.

She's on top of her game
She probably has her eyes on something bigger and she just wish to pull this stunt now, and to use it as a template to launch herself to where her eyes really is.
Before you quote me like an idiot that you're, I'm not saying what she did is bad, in fact I commend her, if it's from her genuine heart.

Insists Kanu is Not Ibo…

Following media reports that the self acclaimed leader of IPOB ,Nnamdi Kanu has given an order to the effect that every citizen in the South East should remain indoors on May 30, the SMF has taken a swipe at the order, insisting Kanu is a fugitive and coward whose heritage is in doubt.

The group in a press release on thursday signed by it’s national coordinator Mrs Rose Emeka said no Ibo son would threaten the peaceful existence of her people and take a step further to sabotage their economic livelihood .

“We are Ibos, our identity is business , we are industrious, our children are born with that trait, how then would one man sit somewhere out of the country and dish out threats and ultimatum to our corporate existence and economic survival?” Mrs Emeka queried.

” As mothers we are sometimes worried about the motive of Nnamdi Kanu, but it is important that we do not sit on the fence so as not to let the younger ones tow his ignoble paths”

The group said, it wondered why a man that so much believes in Biafra could not come back home to lead the agitations.

“You need to come to the South East and feel the misconceptions implanted by this man, he takes delight in discord, violence and disintegration , now he has moved a step further to even threaten our economic livelihood and education of our children.

“Who is Nnamdi Kanu and his children? Can he issue such statements in the country that is indulging him? This is sheer wickedness and absolute senselessness and must be resisted.

” We are calling on our children and Nigerians to disregard such calls, as they amount to nothing other than self glorification of a coward”

The group said it has confidence in the security agencies to maintain law and other in the south east region and urged people to go about their normal routine.

“We are losers if we submit to the shenanigans of this character, he is not our blood, no son of Ibo blood and heritage would take the path of self destruction and foist it on his own people” Mrs Emeka maintained
