The President , Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( retd . ) , has ordered the deployment of fighter jets against kidnappers, bandits and cattle rustlers said to be terrorising communities in Niger State .
The communities are situated around the Dogon Gona forest, which serves as a hideout for the attackers .

The forest stretches from Niger through Kaduna to Zamfara states , according to a State House statement by Buhari ’ s spokesman, Mr Garba Shehu, on Sunday .

The Presidency observed that the attackers had claimed many lives , saying Buhari saw the development as “a disaster for the nation . ”

It added that the deployment of air power was to assist the police and troops to contain the bandits .
“In line with this directive , the Nigerian Air Force is setting up refuelling facilities in Minna , Niger State , to support the aircraft operations, giving assurances that given the improved weather conditions, a major exercise to ‘visually acquire targets and launch attacks will soon follow , ” it said.

The Presidency stated further that the Niger State Police Command also supported the air power because of the difficult terrain of the affected areas that did not allow for easy access by ground operations .

“The police command in Niger State has equally given assurances that the planned dedicated air raids to complement the police helicopter gun ship operations remain the best approach given the lack of motorised roads in the areas constantly under attack ,” the statement added .

Great news, long over due, I hope the desired targets will be hit, considering the terrain is heavily populated. Terrorist can't hold us to ransom.

Good one.. Find them kill the way they kill, this should be non stop operation until the end

Bomb anything bomb-able, but pass over when you set your eyes on cow...to avoid story that touch from GMB...

We declare judgements on the head of evildoers in Jesus name. Amen.

It is now needful

Wailers will come here to tell us it's a wrong move.
He should deploy foot soldiers instead, bla bla bla.....

Long over due.

Nuke them... You have our supports

After all the lies, cover-ups, deceits and so on they have finally accepted that Nigeria has been gradually taken over by bandits in the middle and northwestern zones, Boko Haram and ISWAP taken over the north east, fulani herdsmen trying to take over the southersn zones.
They should keep covering their people, we'll see how far the lies can be covered. There's so much a lie can do but it can't change the facts an intents of the main issues on ground.

Also, the idea behind the creation of the Western security outfit (Amotekun) has been vindicated because the nation cannot be secured by the military alone.

Let's not allow this old man deceive us please , Nigeria doesn't have a single bomber in it's airforce , we have a jet trainer called the Alfa jet which was designed to usher pilots into jet engine use training.. Nigeria doesn't have the capability to obliterate anything on the ground from the air

You want to bomb them and you went on air to announce it?

Does Buhari's incompetence know no bounds?

This is civil war
