UPDATE: Unknown Immigration officers also killed Unknown Gunmen after they burnt their building in Abia State.


Video- https://twitter.com/mobilisingniger/status/1399458108896854020?s=19[/quote]I've been processing how this lightly armed guys are able to burn down supposedly well defended locations. Seeing the low casualties on the defending side, it is reasonable to assume that the buildings are being set on fire from a stand off distance with molotov cocktails and other crude incendiary bombs. It will even be wise to send the would be defenders into panic by setting the buildings they are inside on fire and also distracting them just before the attack.
If these buildings had fire extinguishers, sand buckets and water reels like any reasonable buildings should have, many of them will still be in use today.

BUHARI is responsible for this! He's a man without empathy and emotional intelligence. As a father of the nation, he was meant to reconcile and come to amicable resolutions. Instead, he seems to have no bearing or clues.

His 5% statement alone slowly confined FG support in the East to a bare minimal. Their best resolution of the farmer-herder crises was to force down RUGA and statements like 'Giving land for ranching is better than death' clearly enraged others. Banditry & Kidnapping in the NW started as a result of farmer-herder clashes, yet he still managed to ignore that and here we are.

The hydra from SW,SE and other places started from groups who set up to resist herding but has now escalated beyond that with criminals and others taking advantage of the situation!
So because one man decided to be useless you also decided to tear down your region?
Buhari will leave 700 days from now, the flame that has been ignited may take 7000 days to quench.

As it is, the current crisis in the southeast may take decades to fully resolve, many innocent people will die and life will change for several people. Schools and businesses will be shut down, multinational companies will be thinking of suspending operations and expatriates/workers from other parts of the country or world will be planning to leave by now, even many non-native traders will be moving out soon worsening already bad economic conditions. Federal government acted very stupidly and mismanaged the situation which isn't surprising at all but our people decided to join in the foolishness. I'm still wondering how IPOB will achieve a military victory over FGN in less than 20 years. I hope their online supporters will join active combat so that it can end soon though. The definitely have the numbers to pose a real threat.
The Buhari administration has been stupid enough to let issues escalate this level, they should at least get MRAPs and IFVs in hundreds so that soldiers who will be victims of this stupidity won't really suffer much.
Seeing soft skin vehicles in another conflict zone today was really disheartening.

The government still has the options of stopping all other projects to focus on modernizing the military. There are options of borrowing, diplomacy, hiring mercenaries to take care of other non-state actors in other parts of the country and so on.

In the end, even if IPOB comes out victorious against all odds, the cost would be enormous and might take decades more to heal from.

Rumors has it that ISWAP are massively restrategizing since Yusuf’s son took over. Everyone (Military & Civilians) is on alert . I’m kinda scared now since the rumoured ISWAP takeover Sambisa area.

We are just watching
He has led ISWAP before, he was ousted because of his failures. Even if he has Learnt from past mistakes, what does he want to do that other ISWAP & JAS leaders haven't done before?
Especially at a time the NAF will be having far more platforms and capabilities since the beginning of the counterinsurgency.

Normally, with the arrival of the raining seasons, more ambushes should be expected. They will attempt several fruitless attacks on garrisoned towns, some will be captured but will definitely be abandoned after having lost several fighters.

So the solution is to destroy ourselves instead of treating the injury? Give a chance first to do the right thing, If they don't, then strike again.....but to keep on striking without giving a chance for the government to act right is just inviting destruction that can't favour the already marginalised region.
There is really no point calling for peace anymore. Their minds are set and until they achieve victory or get tired of trying, they won't stop. Those controlling the mobs are drunk on the power and support they are getting and will not think straight until they can't disengage.
I'm just trying to imagine what a military victory for IPOB will be and how they will achieve it.
Also, recent events shows intelligence agencies are now working and hitting ISWAP's supplies. I pray it is sustained.


Oga SamuelAnyawu, the north east has been relatively quiet for at least three weeks now, what's the gist over there?

I agree with you on stregnthning the LG. I believe we should have a central INEC that will be in charge of conducting every election (presidential election, federal and state assembly election and local government elections). State police, LG police should also be established.

The Tivs wanted a referendum for states to be created in the Northern region, Awolowo wanted the Yorubas in present day Kwara and Kogi to have a referendum to decide if they still want to be in the Northern region or Western region, the minorities in the Eastern region also wanted a state to be created for them.

The politicians messed up things after independence and the military com scatter everything pata pata.
Local governments had security outfits in the forms of forest guards years back. There is provision for it. State governors killed that program when they rendered local government useless. The former CDS claimed he informed the governors as far back as 2018 that the next security challenge will be from the forest and they still did nothing to prevent it.

This is the major problem I have with his appointment as the COAS, I would have loved someone from either Armour, Artillery or Signals with experience in intelligence to have bee selected.
Our approach to this war needs to shift from majorly relying on infantry to other things.

I cannot discuss the speculation/allegations of corruption, if those alleging him have evidence, they can sue him or raise it during the senate confirmation process.

it is their tradition. you dare not arrested a serving military personal whether a Nco or Co officer without and authorized from the military police department
Then its a stupid tradition, I agree that the military should be informed where and if possible but the authorization is bullshit. Law enforcement agencies should be able to arrest anyone anywhere and at any time. This is part of the reasons many soldiers are committing heinous crimes. To make things easy, the military police should have bureau offices at the HQ of all law enforcement agencies and vice versa and also have written agreements with each other. This will even help reduce the headaches many bastards give the military.
Military crimes should solely be prosecuted by the military but any other crime, the military shouldn't interfere or even give their full support.
The only situation where conflict can exist is when law enforcement agencies are attempting to arrest soldiers on very important missions and that is why the military command should have a reasonable relationship based on cooperation with law enforcement agencies.


It is not kuku their fault, if the police was very professional, no one will be telling them any trash. A suspect is a suspect no matter the organization he belongs to. Let the court decide the rest after arrest.

for those saying efcc have the right to arrested a serving military official , you guys are completely wrong. the military police is the only institution responsible for arrest, detain and transferring of military case to civilian court. if efcc wanted arresting the general, they would have write to the military high command, especially the military police department with prove of the allegation level against the general.
Is it a law or just tradition? If it is a law, can you please provide citation.

Seriously, i don't like this selection. Maj gen Yahya is of 37rc. We skipped at least 15 Generals. They might retire Sarham. Look at Maj Gen Ahanaotu for heaven sakes. That is a very high ranking and experienced officer. Look at Maj. Gen Ezugwu too. Anyways they have their reasons.
Ezeogwu is of RC 37 too. Ahanotu was Attahiru's senior at some point, he is originally of RC 34, don't know what happened that made him become RC 35. Being originally of RC 34 could be the reason for not choosing him, the COAS can't be mates with the CDS who is also of RC 34.

Buratai was RC 29, the new COAS is of RC 37, almost 10 courses apart!

Maj. Gen Farouk Yahaya has been announced as the new chief of army staff.

It is very obvious the president wants people who have led counterinsurgency operations in the north east as service chiefs.
Appointing Maj. Gen Ben Ahanotu would have been more politically correct and in Today's political atmosphere would have been the wise choice.
Maj. Gen Farouk Yahaya is the current GOC 1 division and theater commander operation Hadin Kai.
Maj. Gen Ben Ahanotu was the commander of the operation that captured former Bokoharam commander in 2009.
Apart from that, Ben Ahanotu is of RC 35 while Farouk Yahaya is of RC 37. There are a few other senior officers from the north in between so this doesn't seem like Nepotism.
A.M Aliyu from Gombe state is of RC 36.
Another reason I would have loved to see Ahanotu as COAS is that he commanded 3 Armored division and that might play some role in seeing armors in the NE.

With this kin glaring corruption case sef, GMB don suppose ask the ONSA pga to step aside by now. The oga of NPA was told to step aside because of a corruption case on top her head without the case even getting to the court.

If this kin corruption case nah for USA, do you think the ONSA oga go still dey sit on top that seat by now? Make we dey reason things well abeg!

The Nigerian constitution supercede all things, you can't be giving an excuse for this, then start pointing fingers at a person supporting IPOB.

Why should a court in Abuja declare IPOB mostly filled up with igbos and mostly operating in igbo land of terrorism? wetin concern the Court in Abuja with wetin dey happen for igbo land?
IPOB can also appeal and argue jurisdiction. That is exactly what my point is. An accused person is hiding under the military justice system to evade justice, the next thing for the EFCC & the court to do is to first petition the military command on the crimes of the military personnel asking for clarification whether the military will take on the case as an organization or will cooperate with the court to prosecute the soldiers for obstruction of justice and contempt of court. If it is the former, EFFC can then drag the military to court or the judiciary tackle the military at a higher court. The military is subjected to the judgement of the Supreme Court. There is really no big deal here. In the first instance EFCC should have contacted DHQ over the case to know their stand on it.
It's not as if the military defends criminals, just last year Major. Gen. Hakeem Otiki was courtmatialed, demoted and dishounourably dismissed from the army.
The ONSA is a civilian organization and that is why Dasuki is not being prosecuted by a military court.

IMO, our problem is weak institutions. We have not invested in our institutions. Whatever system we adopt, it is humans that makes it work
This administrations attempted to grant local governments autonomy, all state governors united under the governor's forum fought against it. They are currently misappropriating funds meant for the local government.
This same administration gave the judiciary autonomy, the state governors have refused to do the same, judicial workers went on strike because of that but nothing came off it.

It is these same governors that are at the front of the struggle for restructuring. How exactly are we supposed to have strong institutions when governments at the state level are totally against it?

Please note that these same state governors under the governors forum have unanimously approved total deregulation of the oil sector and removal of subsidy and are looking forward to the sale of PMS at #385 per litre.

Some soldiers attached to the Office of the National Security Adviser yesterday prevented operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from marking some of the property belonging to the Director of Finance in the ONSA, Brig.-Gen. Jafaru Mohammed.

The property are under an interim forfeiture order.

Justice Folashade Giwa-Ogunbanjo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had, on March 9, 2021, granted an ex-parte application brought by the EFCC for an interim order of forfeiture over some identified property linked to the senior military officer.

The court also ordered the EFCC to publicise the interim forfeiture of the assets and invited people “who may have interest in the assets and properties listed in the schedule to show cause, within 14 days of such publication, why a final order of forfeiture to the Federal Government of Nigeria of the said assets and properties should not be made.”

Residents of Sun City, an upscale housing estate on the outskirt of Abuja, reported a near stand-off yesterday morning between EFCC operatives and military men in plain cloth and uniform at one of the assets located in the estate.

Daily Trust gathered that stern-looking soldiers stationed at one of the houses located at No 25, Osaka Street, upon sighting the anti-graft operatives at about 10am, became furious and ensured that the house was not marked with red inscription “EFCC: Keep off”.

While the two sides were exchanging words, over 20 uniformed and plain-clothed soldiers arrived at the scene, resisting the attempt to mark the house.

“They came in an unmarked white Hilux and black jeep, then others came in a small car and more again in a bus,” a source explained.

When Daily Trust visited the area, it was observed that the soldiers were on red alert as they attempted to chase our correspondents who went on a fact-finding mission on the seized property.

Similarly, when our correspondents visited the property located at No 52, Main Street, also in Sun City Estate, it was observed that the property was marked by the commission, but hours later, the EFCC red inscription was covered off from the walls and the gate.

Daily Trust recalled that the assets traced to the proxies and associates of the Brigadier General, according to the court papers, include: House on Plot 7, God’s Own Estate, Road 1, Wamna District, Abuja; a fencer plot at No 1 Jubril Aminu Crescent, Katampe Extension, Abuja and plot at Kubwa Express, Directly opposite Abuja Model City Gate, Abuja;

Others are: A house on Block SD 22 House 2, Road 5, Kabusa Garden Estate, Abuja; No 15, 21 Crescent, 2nd Avenue, Gwarinpa Estate, Abuja; No 3 Liverpool Close, Sun City Estate, Abuja; No 52 Main Street, Sun City Estate, Abuja; and No 25 Osaka Street, Sun City Estate, Abuja.

The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, in a telephone interview, said he was not aware of the squabble.

When contacted last night, the Office of the NSA directed our correspondent to the Brigadier General’s lawyer, Barr. Omokayode Adebayo Dada, who maintained that the EFCC, according to the law of the land, has no power to investigate a serving military officer.

The lawyer argued that the military officer was right to have prevented himself from harassment of the operatives, stressing that if there was any petition against him, the EFCC should formally write to the authorities of Nigerian Army who will then look at the case.

“Anything that has to do with a serving military officer, you dare not go by EFCC and say you have powers. Everything EFCC did was premised on the foundation of illegality. The man is a graduate and learned person, he knows the law that governs him.

“If he had not spoken all these while and he now woke up from slumber, then he has the right to repel them. He didn’t repel them illegally. They constituted illegality in his premises and he took steps to defend himself,” he said.

Nigeria, turning to a banana republic. This country no fit better by 2035 sef, things go don dey far worst by then, if the country still dey up to then
The only thing wrong here is the stupid journalism. It is not the job of journalists to only tell us what party A and Party B said but to also educate the public on what is true.
Questions that needs to be answered are;
Is the ONSA a military or civilian Department?
Is the accused serving in a military or civilian capacity?
Does the case fall within the jurisdiction of the court that issued the order?
Why didn't the EFCC liase with the DHQ and military police to prosecute the accused.
The next step is for EFCC or any other relevant institutions to sue the soldiers for contempt of court and obstruction of justice. The military command can then decide to make it an institutional issue or let the soldiers and the said Brigadier Gen. The military command can appeal the case if they feel the court can't prosecute a case involving a serving military officer with their main argument being lack of jurisdiction.

Finally, I do not understand how a corrupt individual using the power of his office to evade justice will not make Nigeria better by 2035. This is even a good thing as it will most likely strengthen EFFC and courts should they win the case and it also shows that at least certain parts of government is actually working although facing lots of problems.
Issues like this happen everywhere and a good example is US government threatening the ICC with sanctions arguing that the ICC doesn't have the jurisdiction to investigate US military war crimes in Afghanistan. Does that mean US or the world will not be better by 2035?

Even the Ijaws, Itshekiris and other minorities your talking about are all calling for restructuring, we now have six regions each of which can stand on their own, how the Igbos who are chiefly in the south east will be lording over the minorities who are in the South South defies logic and only concretise the notion that the foolishness in your reasoning is inate, cancerous and contagious even if you're poked with a needle you will never get the point, you have sold your dignity in exchange for tradermonie, in all honesty I would love to exam the brains of the people that brought you to this world, who knows science may have answers to the roof breaking idiocy jammed into the brains of an individual.
The joke is on you.
A country with over 300 tribes can not use the 1963 constitution as it is without facing numerous new problems. The southwest which is arguably the most homogeneous region isn't as homogeneous as we think, talk less of the north, south south and even south east. Have ten regions and we will still be hearing cries of marginalization. In my opinion, the best thing is to strengthen the local government and that at the wards so as to bring government and governance closer to the people. Majority of the dividends of democracy can only be enjoyed by majority of the when provided at the local level. Neither federalism or unitary system will work if this isn't taken care of. Let each tribe/ethnic group have a functioning government close to them where they can participate in the governance.

Geostationary orbit (GEO) - in this orbit satellites stays constantly above one particular place over earth. Generally used by communication & earth observation satellites

Low Earth orbit (LEO) - satellites orbits orbiting between 160-1000 km altitude falls under LEO orbit. In LEO orbit max time during which the satellite is above the local horizon for an observer on the Earth is upto 20 min. Generally used by remote sensing satellites

Medium Earth orbit (MEO) - orbits anywhere between LEO and GEO. Generally used by navigation satellites

Polar orbit - Satellites in polar orbits usually travel past earth from north to south passing roughly over the poles. In polar orbit a satellite in 24 hr can map entire earth. Generally used by reconnaissance satellites

Polar sun-synchronous orbit - it is a type of polar orbit. Satellites in this orbit travelling over the polar regions are synchronous with the Sun. This means the satellite always visits the same spot at the same local time. Generally used by imaging satellites
Can you please explain better how satellites can be used to combat and prevent crimes.

We have more brains than the people in Power, I just can't solve these equation, 'aren't we suppose to have the best in these position'? Nigeria is blessed with brains, I can't help but blame Nepotism, corruption and politics.
LOL, we are sitting here discussing hypothetical situations without considering all factors that may be responsible for either failure or success. You will get to such position with an honest mind and ready to change things but you will be humbled by the people.
Let the president of US or China or whichever country come here to lead in this same system and they will be rendered useless. There is a reason why those of high credibility and honor avoid governance if they won't be given absolute power. By the time bureaucrats alone finish with you, you will be disinterested in the position.

I have seen men who after attempting to change things in their various sectors have died mysteriously. Now it might be unrelated to the issue but it has happened far to many times for this to be coincidence.
There are far too many powerful people earning from the status quo to allow you to change things. Who told you that these police officers being killed are interested in being "protected". How many orders of various IGPs have been flouted? If you get to the bottom of the matter, it might shock you beyond what you've ever experienced before. The last IGP performed brilliantly in UN missions outside the country, he became very useless when he was made the head of his country's police force. And that is how it is in other sectors too.

The first 2 years of Buhari's administration, EFCC and other law enforcement agencies were jumping around arrrmesting several corrupt people, why did they suddenly become mellow? How many of those arrested and charged to court have been convicted? When this man started arresting corrupt judges what was the popular reaction? When he wanted to establish special court for prosecuting corruption, what happened?.
Solutions have been provided to our problems by very smart people from within and without.
These solutions have been abandoned because it doesn't suit the interest of some people. A few examples are Orosanye report, 2014 confab, Dora Akuyili's fortification and supplementation programs to decrease nutritional deficiency and so many others. Even the military solutions we sit down here to provide ; Government received far more practical advice from experts both local and foreign.
If you know the truth about so many things, you will be humbled.

Owerri is trending on Twitter, the feeds from there breaks my heart, how did we get it so wrong in this country? The years of corruption, lack of adequate training, planning for the security of the populace has seen insecurity in alarming levels, taking over the country. One clip caught my attention tho, the policemen came, I saw policeman dismount from Hilux and jeeps, walking casually without cover. We should by now be applying tactics from the NE here, I have seen the tactics of these UGM and I tell you, they aren't hard to counter. At least in that state by now they should have procured nothing less than 4 APC for the police force, two drones and a tactical team of at least 50 CTU well trained men, they would Counter these attacks easily. I can't say much here from Google maps alone, we can counter, block and eliminate threats.
What Aregbesola did in Osun state regarding security proves that today's governors are either deliberately sabotaging the security of their states or are simply not concerned about the loss of lives and properties.

Is it the 25 APCs he bought or the harmonized vigilante group he created and supported that is still very functional and involved in crime fighting throughout the state?
And we have some governors who will continue to blame FG and a particular tribe for tragedies they are paid monthly to prevent.

The only sad thing about the APCs gotten by Aregbesola is that many are already in need of spares and as there is no follow up on such policies, we can only fold our hands.
He even bought a helicopter at that time though it was eventually sold when the state was in financial crisis.
