The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Mshl Sadique Abubakar has disclosed the plan by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to deploy additional personnel to the Niger Delta as part of the resolve to combat militancy and other forms of internal security challenges in the region. Air Mshl Abubakar made the disclosure in Yenagoa while on operational visit to NAF Mobility Command. The planned deployment is aimed at strengthening the existing NAF manpower disposition, especially in Bayelsa State, and to enhance the NAF involvement in OPERATION DELTA SAFE. Preparatory to this deployment, new facilities were recently put in place to cater for accommodation and other welfare needs of the personnel. These include the construction of new blocks of accommodation for officers and men, office accommodation, airmen mess, and provost squadron, which were commissioned recently. Two of the airmen’s block of accommodation were named after Corporal Omaka VI and Aircraftman Ofonih EF, both of whom were killed recently in Bosso, Niger State during an Internal Security Operation.

Air Vice Marshal Larry Koinyan (retired) commissioned the newly constructed projects as the Guest of Honour. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, AVM Koinyan applauded NAF personnel for their courage and resounding successes brought about by the renewed vigour at ensuring peace and stability in the various theatres of operations across the country, while calling on the Bayelsans to partner with the Federal Government to provide holistic solutions to the problems of the Niger Delta.

Earlier during the visit, the CAS made a courtesy call on the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency, Rt Hon Henry Seriake Disckson who stated that “his administration is ready to partner with the NAF and other Security Agencies because the Government of Bayelsa understands the importance of security and the need for the State to be safe for economic prosperity”. Governor Dickson also promised, during the project commissioning ceremony, that his government would partner with the NAF to build NAF Primary and Secondary Schools in the State to enable Bayelsans benefit from the quality education provided by NAF Schools with a view to bringing about discipline and reorientation among youths in the State. The schools are to be located on NAF Base Yenagoa.

More intimidation

And it's working

It's good for a country to have personnel.
But
The personnel is for the Boko Haram that started at 2009 ,wasting precious lives.. Destroying properties ?
Or
The Niger Delta Avengers that started this year!? Destroying oil pipe lines.
Life and oil which is most precious?

The Fulani herdsmen, ,,,I saw someone wrote that their issue hasn't gotten to the military level but what has the police been doing about it?... What positive has buhari said about it?

There is no matured mind that doesn't know the truth.
Does it mean there is no matured mind in Nigeria?
There is. ..why are they keeping quit? Is it because of an old man?

What is this nation turning into?

Even if the government will be negotiating with these hoodlums, the government should do that in a stronger position. Gone are the days where Nigeria will be intimidated by criminals.

Good news

Only the bad belle will say ill of a news like this
Flush the cockroach out

Ha

Buhari must go to jail if he doesn't show us his certificate by 2019. He can't deceive zombies and get away with it. He will be locked up and put in ICC prescribed jail.

Hmmm with the present Economic situation, Naija is fighting war on both fronts

[size=13pt]Another plan to Swallow the military money[/size]

kk

nawa o...everybody wan go Niger Delta sef

We Will Not Take It!!

[size=13pt]AirForce should best be used for intelligence, cos those metallic kites that fly around they call Aircrafts won't do much.

I'm for demilitarisation of the Niger-delta. Buhari and his buffoonery gang of incompetent stiff-asss musketeers will still refuse to smell the coffee.

Militarization cannot be the solution to the Niger-delta question.

Intimidation that's all.

I thought bubu have found croud oil in chadbasin why seeing or pretecting N-Delta as 100unit. Course

Is ths govt tryng to start another civil war or turn Nigeria to south Sudan or smethng close to tht ? All I jst see is a war for oil at the expence of peoples lives nd children .APC nd Buhari jeep making more enemies fr ur govt.

let's go there. It's time up for Nigeria. Propaganda of oil discovery in yoruba didn't deter our resolve, nickel discovery in North didn't deter us. They'v brought the war again. Let's see how many u can kill, hope u'v asked ur military men if they are ready for the war.
