Nigerian Air Force pays bandits N20 million to avoid shooting down Buhari’s plane

The gun truck with 12.7 caliber anti-aircraft fire was reportedly disassembled and transported back to the military on motorbikes after the deal was concluded.


The Nigerian Air Force coordinated ransom payments to armed bandits in exchange for an anti-aircraft gun seized from the Nigerian Army, The Wall Street Journal said, in a desperate deal that was brokered as President Muhammadu Buhari was planning a trip to Katsina.

The U.S. outlet said N20 million was delivered to the bandits in Rugu Forest by a Nigerian Air Force official, who leaked details of the operation under anonymity, because the military realised that it would be too risky to leave the weapon in the hands of violent criminals operating in an area the presidential jet would fly over. 


The rugged, lawless jungle that covers parts of Kaduna, Zamfara and the president’s home state of Katsina has served as a vast haven for bandits terrorising Nigeria’s northwestern communities. A large portion of kidnapping plots emanates or terminates in or around the forest, security agencies have previously warned. 


“The mission to buy back the antiaircraft gun began with a handoff from a high-ranking air force intelligence officer in the capital Abuja: a black zip-up bag he said was full of 20 million Nigerian naira,” the paper reported, after stating that such military hardware in the hands of bandits “posed a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari, who had been planning to fly to his hometown about 80 miles away.”


The gun truck with 12.7 caliber anti-aircraft fire was reportedly disassembled and transported back to the military on motorbikes after the deal was concluded. 

The Journal did not specify when the deal was brokered or the presidential trip that was planned. The president has been in his hometown at least twice this year that his office disclosed to the public. The first trip was in late January and another in July. 

Although the Nigerian government claimed combat victories against armed bandits, several military bases have been sacked by the violent criminals dreaded largely for their abduction of schoolchildren and prominent personalities, including politicians and emirs. 

Last month, a forward operating base crucial to the military campaign against banditry was raided in Zamfara, leaving at least 12 officers killed. The bandits also seized military equipment when they captured the base in Dansadau, about 80 kilometres south of the capital Gusau, in the September 11 operation.

  

Less than two weeks later on September 24, bandits again struck a joint base of security forces in the neighbouring Sokoto State, killing several soldiers, Civil Defence officers and civilians. 

The Nigerian Air Force also confirmed on July 19 that bandits had shot down one of its fighter jets, but the pilot was able to eject and there were no casualties. The incident came as Mr Buhari was visiting his hometown for this year’s Sallah. 

It was not immediately clear why service chiefs opted for a ransom payment in the operation described by The Journal. Military weapons that fell into the hands of Boko Haram insurgents and bandits were usually destroyed by airstrikes. 

Whereas Mr Buhari has promised to be tough on the bandits and publicly railed against governors negotiating with them, his government has been known to pay ransom to terrorists and other violent criminals.

The government paid millions of dollars to free some of the Chibok girls seized in 2014 under President Goodluck Jonathan. It also facilitated hundreds of millions of naira in ransom to bandits who seized schoolchildren in Niger State earlier this year.

The Gazette has yet to hear back from the Nigerian Air Force about the reported N20 million ransom to bandits.

Andy Uba Pressures Malami to Use EFCC against Anambra Government Officials

The arrests are to enable the APC, the ruling party at the national level, to achieve victory since other strategies to unseat the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) like the declaration of a state of emergency purportedly on the basis of the security situation in the South East have failed.

APGA looks certain to win by a landslide, according to a study by APC operatives in Abuja, who are worried that APGA is the only political campaigning openly in the state and its rallies draw huge crowds while other parties have gone underground ostensibly on account of insecurity.

Sources in the Federal Ministry of Justice, which oversees the EFCC, told our correspondents that the Attorney General, a close friend of Uba’s and a senior member of the Andy Uba Gubernatorial Campaign Council, has directed the anti-graft body to look for ways to arrest as many Anambra State top government officials as possible under the guise of fighting corruption and keep them in custody until the election is over.

He is a complete failure all he does is greet terrorists and looters. This is what you call complete leadership failure. I don't know any leader in the world at the moment that has the time to be greeting people.

The media guys in the presidency are complete idiotics animals, incompetent don't know what they are supposed to be doing insensitive and lack common sense. They wake up in the morning looking for how they would annoy tax payers everyday that's how it seems.
How are these greetings going to bring investment to Daura or Borno? Tell us all the greeting has it led to investments. If you don't know what to do why not just keep quiet and earn the useless money quietly.

Trouble In APC: “They Promised Me DG Of A Federal Parastatal” – Anambra Dep Gov, Nkem Okeke
https://247ureports.com/2021/10/trouble-in-apc-they-promised-me-dg-of-a-federal-parastatal-anambra-dep-gov-nkem-okeke/

A source close to the Nkem Okeke revealed that Nkem Okeke was offered a position as a direction general of a lucrative federal parastatal as one of the major rewards for joining the APC. It was gathered that Nkem Okeke wanted to announce his defection into APC after the November 6th 2021 elections or after handover of government in March 2022 but the APC and Senator Andy Uba in cohorts with the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma insisted the announcement must be made before the November election to create the necessary impact of the illusion the populace in Anambra State have accepted APC as their favorite party above the APGA.

Dr. Nkem Okeke confirmed the promised position through a friend. He also shared the difficulties he has run into since his defection. He pointed to the top members of the APC in Anambra as his first point of conflict. Many of the old members of the APC who served under the leadership of the federal minister of Labor and productivity, Senator Chris Ngige expressed displeasure to Nkem Okeke for joining the Andy Uba/Hope Uzodinma led APC. They advised him to wait for the November 6th 2021 elections before jumping board. The understanding is the current APC has been adulterated by the unchecked injection of Andy Uba style of politics.
