EBELE DEPLOYS SOLDIERS IN SEARCH OF BOKO HARAM IN LAGOS

Hasn't anybody seen the Boko Haram gangs hiding in Lagos? Reliable sources have informed our President that Lagos is full of this den of killers and must be fished out immediately. Moreover, the people of Lagos need protection and the President appreciating their votes, will be relegating his responsibilities if every Lagosian is not protected with minimum force. The problem is Nigerians complain too much no matter how the President tries to protect them.

As we all know Boko Haram has caused mayhem in the North and we are committed to fishing them out no matter where they are, especially Lagos. Since they posed an endemic risk in Lagos where they can easily disappear into the fishing villages, some of the soldiers have been withdrawn from Borno State to reinforce those in Lagos. It should be clear that the President will not listen to irresponsible voices demanding that soldiers be removed from Lagos.

No responsible government will tolerate imminent danger such as those posed by Boko Haram in Lagos and not take immediate action. A responsible government does not have a choice between unarmed protesters against corruption that poses little or no immediate danger and heavily armed and dangerous militia as Boko Haram. We will hunt them where ever they are particularly when concentrated in a location such as Lagos.

Ladies and gents, this is a precautionary measure to prevent violence. As soon as violence erupts, the soldiers will be withdrawn and immediately replaced by MEND, OPC, Arewa Youth and MASSOB as backups with instruction to shoot and kill. All the reports coming in are that the situation has not degenerated to that stage since there are only unarmed protesters daring the meek and gentle soldiers.

Corruption is a long term fight that cannot kill anyone immediately. So it can wait. On the other hand dangerous ammunition in the hands of gangs like Boko Haram in Lagos deserves prompt and immediate answer. We do not negotiate with terrorists; we fight them to a standstill. As long as Lagos protesters remain unarmed, soldiers will fish out Boko Haram amongst them. Again, the President warns that if the situation deteriorates, MEND and OPC as backup will be deployed.

The Office of the President of Nigeria has been informed that some old fools, some as old as 80 and above have come out in Lagos to demonstrate against corruption. If corruption is an instant killer, they would have been dead by now. Some of them are hiding Boko Haram in their houses and are trying to divert the attention of the Government of Nigeria. It will not work. Our target is Boko Haram and we will sort out the oldies from Boko Haram.

We must remind Nigerians that two of the protesters are one Prof. Ben Nwabueze that once called for revolution in Nigeria and the first impeached Governor Balerabe Musa. Another is a boma old boy from Lagos, Dr. Braithwaite. Not to mention Falana that you all know. Mix boma boy with revolution is like mixing a timer with explosive and we all know the result. Law abiding citizen must stay away from them, they may be heavily armed and dangerous.

Nigerians have to be careful and not be moved by diversionary tactics. Where were these oldies in Lagos when their Governor recently booed, Fashola ordered police to brutalize and almost killed a protester? The Federal Government had to show restrain when the good citizen of Lagos called for the protection of their civil rights in Lekki. This is the reason we have avoided the use of police in Lagos and opt for the Army. If the Army cannot handle it, we have lined up MEND, OPC, and lastly but not the least Arewa Youths. Please be warned.

This President more than his predecessors, understands and promised to tackle corruption head-on. Corruption did not start under this President. Indeed, this President is still trying to clean up from the time of Babangida and Obasanjo. This is why NNPC has been reconstituted with many dedicated and sensitive bureaucrats born and bred in the economic deprived swamp of Niger Delta. They know the problem first hand and as the House tribunal is revealing, they have dislocated all the corrupt practices of the Obasanjo Government as soon as they took over.

The President wants to make it clear, that he will not be moved by any amount of intimidation and rumor mongering to discredit hard dedicated people's servants. There is a certain amount of envy or outright jealousy because it is the time of Niger Delta to bring the income from their God given natural resources home. They complained that all the saving OBJ left have been squandered. It is our oil, our money and our sons and daughters. So please back off. Na we born am, na we poke am, na we give am belly, oil na our baby!

As started earlier, corruption does not cause immediate death, Boko Haram does. We will pick and choose when and where to fight the enemy of the good people of Nigeria. Any attempt to overthrown or give this Government a bad name under the superfluous created problem, will be resisted By MEND, OPC, MASSOB and Arewa Youths. Ebele is the first President ever elected by these combinations of human rights fighters. It is the same Yoruba of Lagos that say - First thing first. A ki fi ete sile, Ki a ma npa lapalapa.

U mean "Ebelemi"?

But in a swift reaction today, the Defence headquarters in a statement signed by its spokesman, Colonel Mohammed Yerimah dismissed all that in its release titled”TROOPS DEPLOYMENT IN LAGOS STATE: THE TRUE POSITION”. It reads:

[b]“The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to the unsubstantiated claims by a section of the public alleging that the Federal Government ordered the deployment of troops in Lagos to halt the protest against the fuel subsidy removal. While the Defence Headquarters do not wish to join issues with any individual or groups regarding the matter, we wish to state categorically, in the interest of the larger society, that there is no element of truth in those claims.

The soldiers seen on the streets of Lagos are still the same men of the Special Task Force code-named: Operation MESA set up and sponsored by the Lagos State Government long before the fuel subsidy protest, for the purpose of supporting the civil police in protecting lives and property as is the case in many parts of the country. The men of the Task Force who are currently in Lagos have been there and were not brought from outside Lagos. They are members of Lagos State Government sponsored Operation MESA and the demand for their withdrawal is therefore uncalled for.[/b]

The Defence Headquarters therefore wishes to reassure the Nigerian public of the Nigerian Armed Forces readiness to assist the security agencies whose primary responsibility is the maintenance of peace and security in the society in the event of breakdown of law and order. We are committed to the defence and protection of our country’s hard earned democratic credential. More importantly, the Nigerian Armed Forces belongs to the Nigerian people and cannot be an Army of occupation as wrongly claimed.

We urge members of the public to go about their legitimate businesses without any fear of molestation from any· quarter, and to also report any breach of peace and security in the society to law enforcement agencies.”

I am just worried that he may tell MEND to invade Niger for their new refinery before they invade Nigeria for more crude oil, apart from theirs.

If Jonathan is not a liar and Fashola is the liar asking for soldiers. Jonathan could have called off his bluff when Fashola protested their presense on the street of Lagos and remove them as the C-C of the Army.

No, he wont until he finds Boko Haram in Lagos!

What's really the problem
When GEJ keeps quite, you guys ridicule him as weak, dull, and incompetent. When he acts to protect peace, you guys complaint about high handedness. You can't have it both ways.

SisiKill. . . the CiC is from the creeks, he only know how to fight in waters.  No water in Maiduguri so he sent Army to Lagos in hope boko might be hiding in the lagoon.  hehehehe. . .

anyway, where is Beaf?  report your a s s in here.    [size=18pt]BEEAAAFFFFF. . . .!!! [/size] . .  

JONATHAN LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR!!

I'm beginning to think Jonathan is the chief sponsor or co sponsor of Boko Haram! Boko Haram is looking more like MEND day by day. GEJ won, Boko Haram became the new thing killing NORTHERNERS more than anyone else,


Charles Taylor worked for CIA, GEJ works for CIA, Hence why he called on the following two agents

Olusegun Aganga: Former topman of Goldman Sachs, a firm involved in hundreds of billion dollars fraud in the "WEST" and also one of the chief supporter of "SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND WHICH WALLSTREET FIRMS GOLDMAN SACHS INCLUDED HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN"

Ngozi Okonjo wahala: Do I need to say more about this woman? Nigeria gave $12b to paris club under her when we could have used that to build 4 more refineries. She started the deregulation saga and have since been touting same for all sectors of our economy. Deregulation can only work when our people have better bargaining power but no, Ngozi sold us to IMF,

So because a state governor ask for soldiers in  to combat armed robbery, justify their deployment in 2012. Who are these people fooling? Beaf?

Fashola requested for soldiers since 2010, FG insists

General Andrew Owoeye Azazi General Andrew Owoeye Azazi

National Security Adviser ( NSA), General Andrew Owoeye Azazi, yesterday said there was nothing unusual about  the deployment of soldiers in Lagos, State because Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola in October 2010, allegedly wrote the Federal Government to assist with the deployment of military personnel to assist the Nigeria Police Force in combating crime in the state.

Azazi, who spoke in an interview with reporters at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, claimed that it would amount to being economical with the truth for the same state government that wrote a letter requesting the deployment of military, in one breadth, to now be condemning the presence of the soldiers who have been in the state since 2010.

He said: “ Is this the first time that soldiers are deployed to Lagos State? But the troops have been here for a long time; it does not matter how many. You see, if a governor  wrote a letter for troops to be deployed  his state , they will come.

“This dates back to 2010 when the governor made a request for soldiers in his environment.  So, since 2010, for those of you that have been in Lagos, the soldiers have been here  for joint patrol with the police to combat crime in the state.  So, why is it so bad that the same soldiers that the governor requested to join the police,  you now find it very strange,

“Let us be frank with ourselves. In 2010, Fashola wrote a letter to the president that he wanted soldiers to have a joint patrol to work with the police in the state. He promised he pays  for them, and he funds them till tomorrow.  So if the police finds out that they need  more soldiers to assist and they request for more, ”

Azazi denied that the current troops deployed are from other states, saying:  “ You can find out.”

The Defence Headquarters spoke in the same vein on Thursday, claiming that the soldiers seen  on the streets during the week  were part of the Task Force, code-named OP MESA.

“The men of the Task Force who  are currently in Lagos have been there and  were not brought from outside Lagos.  They are members of the Lagos State Government  sponsored Operation MESA and the demand for their withdrawal is therefore uncalled for,” the statement issued by the Defence spokesman,  Col. Mohammed Yerima, said in part.

The statement from the Defence Headquarters, however, was contrary to the utterance of the Defence Minister, Dr. Haliru Bello, who said that the troops were deployed to prevent anarchy.

“The deployment of soldiers was meant to forestall anarchy”,  he was quoted to have said on Thursday in reaction to the wide condemnation of the government’s action.

And promptly, the Lagos State government faulted the claim of the Defence Headquarters.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Aderemi Ibirogba, had said inpart: “The  claim by the Military authorties that the deployment of soldiers on the streets of Lagos is at the request of the Lagos State Government is not only false but missleading.

“The State Goverment challenges the Military authorities to show proof of the request for troops deployment in the street of Lagos State.”
