TROOPS FOIL ANOTHER ATTACK ON IMO STATE POLICE COMMAND, NEUTRALISE 'DRAGON', 4 OTHER ASSAILANTS

Nigerian Army (NA) troops operating in Owerri the Imo State capital foiled an early morning attack on the Imo State Police Command today 6 June 2021. The troops assisted by the Police Special Forces eliminated a top IPOB/ESN Operational Commander, Joseph Uka Nnachi alias King of Dragons, who has been orchestrating attacks against security agencies and government establishments in the South Eastern States. He has been at the centre of several heinous attacks since the death of Ikonso who gave up the ghost during an encounter with security forces on 24 April 2021 at Awomama Village of Orlu East LGA of Imo State.

Equaly neutralised along with Dragon were four of his cohorts while one was captured alive and has been assisting security forces with useful information. The troops recovered four AK-47 Rifles, a Toyota Hiace Mini bus used as operational vehicle by the assailants as well as several assorted ammunitions and charms.

It would be recalled that IPOB/ESN Terrorists attacked the Imo State Police Command on 5 April 2021 and since then, the security forces had been on the trail of the assailants leading to the successful elimination of the key figures involved.

The NA wishes to place on records it's profound appreciation to the peace-loving citizens of Imo State and the entire citizenry for their support towards combating security challenges in the South East and the rest of the country. The Chief of Army Staff, Maj Gen Faruk Yahaya, particularly noted this as a patriotic gesture and appealed to the public to do more while assuring them of the NA's resolve to end the reign of terror in the country.

[/b]These crackheads really believed in charms [b]

This is an innocent church goer that was killed and police paraded him as UGM. Same goes for others, the other day it was an Oil worker that was paraded as UGM. Tomorrow if the brothers/kids of this innocent people pick up arms against the state you will start preaching how they want to turn the east into another Borno as if you people care.

The truth is we can't be mate, ....?
Careful of been arrested, jailed or been killed. Have seen beyond that, bro make he be another thing for this naija !

Sizzorkay:
lol it's actually is. i had to run away from crownheights wey i dey live before coz it's too expensive haha.
a single room here before covid will run you $1,200 monthly. right now i dey pay $3,250 monthly for my apt. because oyinbo ppl dey invade black communities, and once they start moving in, blacks are displaced because rent will shoot up.
it's why everyone here is talking about the gentrification of black and brown communities. because Manhattan is also too expensive for the oyinbos, so now they are moving into black communities

It depends on the blocks I'm sure. It's like that where I live in Illinois. There are some dirt cheap houses/apartments but they aren't in the nicest areas. It's not hard to find places under the average though.

I'm also kind of ignoring the current housing boom because that definitely won't last.

of course some areas are still cheap, but too far in, bushwick for example, but when i say cheap, a 2 bedroom will still cost you over 2k monthly.
but some of the cheapest areas in brooklyn is East New York, i won't live there lol. it's crime ridden. sadly that's why most displaced black people go.
places like Williamsburg is almost as expensive as apts in Manhattan due to white ppl overtaking the area and its close proximity to Manhattan
you live in Chicago? the gun violence over there ain't no joke lol

I live about 30min - 1 hour from Chicago but I'm pretty familiar with Chicago. The gun violence kind of overstated in that its all in the same neighborhoods. Most of the city is actually really safe but those trouble spots are so bad lol. I think at one point more people were getting killed there daily than in Iraq.

no need. the tribal fools need an audience, that's why they are hijacking this thread. create a new one and they will follow.
i mean why not just open your own thread and talk about how ibos are the only cheated group in Nigeria. as if the rest of the population is living the dream

NIGERIAN NAVY LAUNCHES NEW WARSHIP

The Nigerian Navy (NN) has today launched a new Landing Ship Tank (LST) at Damen Shipyard, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The construction of the ship began about 2 years ago and when commissioned, will replace the first set of LSTs of the NN, NNS AMBE and NNS OFIOM which have been decommissioned.

The introduction of the LST to the NN inventory will bolster NN sealift capability. Specifically, it would enhance the transportation of troops, military hardware, vehicles in the conduct of maritime security operations launched from sea as well as supply of relief material during period of national emergency. Furthermore, the vessel will serve as a critical component of naval power projection for enhanced maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea and beyond. In its secondary role, the LST will play a critical role in the protection of maritime assets and preservation of law and order at sea, thus contributing significantly to promotion of global maritime commerce, peace and safety.

The new LST has a complement of 32 crew and 250 embarked persons and a length of 100.08m. She is powered by 2 Caterpillar/Cat 3516 C-rating engines and 4 Caterpillar C-18 generators. Furthermore, she has an endurance of 15 days @ 15 knots. If she is to be used for humanitarian missions/evacuation, she can accommodate over 450 persons on its upper and lower decks in short trips.

The bid opening process for the procurement of the LST was held on 19 December 2017 and supervised/conducted by a team from the Bureau of Public Procurement as well as a technical committee of the Nigerian Navy. The Shipbuilding companies that participated were Damen Shipyards of the Netherlands, Anadolu Deniz of Turkey and Indian Shipyards GOA of India. On 13 June 2019, the NN and Damen Shipyards signed the final general arrangement plan and specifications on the LST 100 and this date of 13 June 2019 became the effective date of contract for the LST 100. The contract duration as agreed by both parties was approximately 36 months from the effective date of contract. The Keel laying ceremony for the LST 100 was held on the 9 December 2019 at The Damen-Albwardy Shipyard in Sharjah the UAE. The immediate past CNS Vice Admiral IE Ibas placed the Nigerian Navy insignia into the keel and sealed it.

Over the last 2 years several Factory Acceptance Tests with regards to various components of the LST 100 have been jointly and successfully completed by the NN and Damen Shipyards. Most notable among these FAT’s was the main propulsion engines tested in 2019/ 2020 and the Remote Weapon system which was also successfully tested in March 2021.

Damen Shipyards is one of the biggest multinational shipbuilding groups in the world, operating more than 50 shipbuilding and repair yards worldwide. On the African continent, they operate a full shipbuilding yard in South Africa and in Port Harcourt Nigeria, they operate a fully equipped maintenance yard. The LST contract is being handled by DSNS (Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding) the naval shipbuilding arm of Damen shipyards and the ship is being constructed at the Damen-Albwardi Shipbuilding Yard in Sharjar in the UAE.

It's likely to get much worse in the nearest future with the emergence of 3D printers, drones, AI etc.

Hoverbird:

This is an innocent church goer that was killed and police paraded him as UGM. Same goes for others, the other day it was an Oil worker that was paraded as UGM. Tomorrow if the brothers/kids of this innocent people pick up arms against the state you will start preaching how they want to turn the east into another Borno as if you people care.

If na innocent, by name families or friends would have called out this, just like the oil worker

The day the three major ethnic groups realize that they're only majority in just 37% of Nigeria's entire territory, Dominates 52% of Nigerian states and consist of 64% of Nigerian population, that's when you will all calm down with all of these tribal supremacy jargons.

The minority groups would easily rule Nigeria for decades to come if they know how to manipulate their way . Ijaws and Fulanis have taken advantage of that already, more still dey come.

If the Mode of election is changed from population based to state based like this, the majorites should just forget about seat of power for the next 50years.

You message the wrong person Yahoo boy.

At least 180 Bureau De Change (BDC) operators nabbed by security operatives for alleged link to terrorism financing paid N900 million in penalties before they returned to their businesses, Daily Trust reports.

This comes as BDC operators and other traders rounded up by security agents in March, on suspicion of involvement in financing of terrorism have remained in detention, almost three months after their arrest.

Families and associates said the suspects are being kept incommunicado without access to their families, despite lack of judicial process.

On a few occasion recently, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has stated that the federal government will put in about 400 suspects on trial for financing terrorism,

“I am happy to report that arising from the wider coverage investigation that has been conducted in Nigeria, a number of people, both institutional and otherwise, were found to be culpable, I mean on reasonable grounds for suspicion of terrorism financing,” Malami had told State House correspondent last month.

Ahead of the planned trial Daily Trust yesterday gathered that agencies handling the cases have begun contacting families to nominate lawyers to stand in for their relatives.

In April, Daily Trust reported a high level security operation leading to massive clamp down on some BDC operators and other businessmen who allegedly dealt with Boko Haram and other criminal groups.

The operation, which security sources say is ongoing, is being coordinated by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Department of States Services (DSS), with financial intelligence support from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unity (NFIU).

Bank accounts frozen

Hundreds of suspicious bank accounts have also been frozen as part of the operation, which tracked over N300 billion, according to a security source involved in the operation.

The CBN and the NFIU, Daily Trust gathered, have sent out series of “post no debit” letters to commercial banks leading to freezing of dozens of personal and corporate accounts. The apex bank has also obtained court orders directing freezing of dozens of accounts flagged for suspicious transactions.

A security source familiar with the operation confided in our reporter that the operation started last year with massive gathering and analysis of financial intelligence and drawing uplink analysis, leading to initial marking of some 60 businesses and individuals.

A source disclosed to Daily Trust that an initial list of 957 suspects comprising bureau de change operators, gold miners and sellers, and other businessmen is being acted upon.

Already, according to the source, over 400 persons have been arrested in a series of arrests in Kano, Borno, Abuja, Lagos, Sokoto, Adamawa, Kaduna and Zamfara.

CBN slams N900m fine on 180 BDCs

Speaking in an exclusive chat with Daily Trust, President of the Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Aminu Gwadabe, said each of the 180 BDC operators was made to pay N5 million penalty to CBN, amounting to N900m.

“After engaging with the CBN and appealing to them, we were able to clear about 180 of our members who were asked to pay N5 million each as penalties. They have complied and are now returned to their legitimate business,” Gwadabe said.

He said the clampdown activities are not new as “they started in 2020 as a result of the new intelligence gathering mechanisms” of the apex bank.

The association’s president said the incidents are largely due to the carelessness of its members who engage in a transaction with someone they don’t know.

“It is a KYC (Know Your Customer) issue, it is not that they are directly involved in the illicit use of foreign Exchange. Painfully, this is happening at a time that we are contending with sweeping generalisation and criminalisation of the activities of our members,” he said.

Gwadabe said the activities of his members constitute a financial subsector providing over 25,000 employments and the association is doing everything within its means to change the narrative.

Many attempts to reach the CBN’s Director of Corporate Communications, Mr. Osita Nwanisobi, to ascertain the total frozen accounts and the affected banks, were not successful.

However, a senior staff at the CBN said the information was too sensitive to divulge as the lives of even some CBN staff could be at risk.

“I can assure you that hundreds of accounts have been put on watch lists and several others are being flagged daily as the need arises. It is safe to leave it at. If you require additional information, it’s safe to speak to the security agencies in charge of the crack-down. They might help because they know how to protect themselves better,” he said.

Families cry out

Some families with relatives in detention lamented what they called lack of transparency and excommunication of the detainees.

A woman in Gusau whose husband was arrested in mid-March, told Daily Trust that she and her family are in hardship following long detention of her husband, a gold marketer.

Sani Ali, whose two brothers are in custody, said the family had been contacted to provide a lawyer to stand-in for the suspects.

He however said aside the lawyer no one was permitted to see the two brothers who are being detained in undisclosed location in Abuja.

A business partner of one of the detainees, Isiyaku Mohammed, said they were called on the phone and asked to provide legal representation for their friend in detention.

“It is still shocking to us the way they are treating these people. Why will you keep someone indefinitely if you have nothing against the person? Even if there are culpable person among them many of them are innocent but they have been traumatized and dehumanized,” he said.

Lawyers differ on continued detention

Lawyers have expressed divergent views on the continued detention of 400 persons linked with financing terrorism in Nigeria.

A lawyer, Sagir Gezawa, described the prolonged detention of the suspects as illegal, since they are not on remand by a court of competent jurisdiction.

He said the orders often sought by law enforcement agencies from magistrate courts, as provided by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), is limited to 35 days only.

“The law says an order can be obtained for 14 days, and another 14 days, and additional seven days, but nothing more, and even the days are discretionary as the court can give lower number of days. Anybody being detained for longer time, other than on remand orders by a court is being detained illegally,” he said.

In his reaction, Malachy Nwaekpe Esq stated that Section 35(4), paragraphs A and B of the Nigerian Constitution provides that the suspects can be detained for three months in cases which are not ordinarily bailable.

He said since Malami belongs to the executive and not the judiciary, he is not responsible for the current strike in the judiciary.

“Therefore, to keep them is not an unreasonable decision based on the present circumstance,” he said.

Also speaking, E.M.D. Umukoro Esq disagreed with the excuse given as reason for keeping the suspects.

“They can be released on bail pending when the president is ready. When they are given bail, they are to ensure that the surety is always available and that the suspect don’t abscond- that is why they demand for ranks like director as surety.

“They can’t hide under the guise of strike action to deny them bail,” he said.

Armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have again launched a deadly attack in Odugbeho community in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, killing over 40 residents.


DAILY POST gathered that the armed men invaded the community on Sunday night, killing residents and injuring scores.

When contacted by DAILY POST correspondent, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Anene Sewuese Catharine, simply said, “I am yet to receive that report”.

However, the Senator representing the Benue South Senatorial District, Senator Abba Moro, confirmed the incident in a statement he posted on his official Facebook page.

The senator, who condemned the attack on his constituency, lamented the incessant killings in the area stating that “enough should be enough”.

“I’m deeply saddened by the attack on Odugbeho community in Agatu LGA on Sunday, which claimed over 40 lives of my constituents. This is highly condemnable and very unacceptable.

“For how long will this carnage continue unabated in Benue South? Enough should be enough”, the statement read.
