Just uploaded the video of the crash landing to my Facebook wall..

I think it's more of technical know how on the part of the pilot.
I think the pilot should be fired.

CRASHED HELICOPTER NOT FROM NAF, PAF

The attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been drawn to various reports in the media purporting that the Augusta AW139 Helicopter, which was involved in a mishap in Kabba, Kogi State yesterday, 2 February 2019, while conveying the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, belonged to the NAF or was from the 011 Presidential Air Fleet (011 PAF). Some unscrupulous/undiscerning individuals have even gone so far as to circulate a video showing the crash landing of a military helicopter, from an unrelated incident, which neither occured in Nigeria nor involved NAF or 011 PAF aircraft, portraying it as the one that crashed in Kabba.

The NAF wishes to state categorically that the helicopter that crashed in Kabba does not belong to the NAF or 011 PAF. The owners/operators of the civilian helicopter, Messrs Caverton Helicopters, have already issued a statement on the matter. In addition, the military Dauphin Helicopter, painted in desert camouflage colour, seen in the video circulating on social media does not belong to the NAF and should not be misrepresented as belonging to the NAF. Accordingly, the general public is advised to disregard such erroneous information and the misleading video.

The NAF joins the Nation in thanking God for sparing the life of our Vice President as well as other passengers and crew members involved in the mishap. We pray for the safety of the Vice President and that all his take-offs will culminate in an equal number of safe landings.

AW139 SN 31389 of Caverton, more than 10 years old, chartered by VP office to move around this electoral period. NCAA will start investigation ASAP, with Nigerian Bureau of Investigations. LHD will provide support too, to determine the causes. At a first sight, the landing field was very very dirty , so we may speculate about FOD objects entering the engine air intake. But too early to speculate. Thanks God they are all alive and the anti-crash cabin of 139 demonstrated once again to be a life saver. ��

TROOPS VANQUISH BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS

Troops of Sector 3 of Operation LAFIYA DOLE deployed in Mallam Fatori in Abadam Local Government of Borno State yesterday 2 February 2019 at about 6pm during a routine defence patrol encountered Boko Haram Terrorists whose intent was to attack troop’s location. The insurgents who came in their numbers met their waterloo as the gallant troops proved to be hard knot for them to crack.

The terrorists were mercilessly trashed due to the superior fire power, courage and discipline displayed by own troops in conjunction with the Air Task Force. Many of them were neutralized while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. Various weapons and ammunitions were recovered from the terrorists. Unfortunately, three soldiers were wounded in action and presently receiving treatment at 7 Division Hospital Maiduguri.

Reacting to the gallantry displayed by the troops, the Commander Sector 3 operation LAFIYA DOLE commended the troops for their gallantry, courage and loyalty in the fight against insurgency stressing that though the job of a soldier is demanding, the nation will always count on their loyalty and determination to end insurgency in the Nigeria.

He further reiterated the commitment of the officers and soldiers to bring to an end to the activities of Boko Haram Insurgents in Northern Borno. The Commander also solicited for public support from good citizens and urged them to report the presence of suspected wounded persons within their locality to the nearest security outpost.

Please kindly disseminate this information through your medium to the general public.

Thank you for your usual cooperation.

PRESS RELEASE

BOKO HARAM NOW EMPLOYING DECEPTION TO WIN CONFIDENCE OF LOCALS

The Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE, has uncovered the employment of deception by Boko Haram terrorists to win the confidence and support of locals in the North East. The Theatre Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE Major General Benson Akinroluyo, raised the alarm while addressing troops of Sector 2 Operation LAFIYA DOLE during a three-day operational tour of the sector's area of responsibility that lasted from Thursday 31 January to Saturday 2 February 2019.

The Theatre Commander disclosed further, that Boko Haram terrorists now engage in cattle rustling and later return the rustled cattle to their owners, thereby deceitfully creating the impression of " the Good Samaritan" and presenting themselves as a "protector of the people". He described the gimmick as a dangerous ploy that must be nipped in the bud, before it spirals out of control. The Commander urged the troops to prevent any form of cattle rustling by the insurgents, as it is now being used as a means of psychological warfare to make the locals see them in positive light and be receptive to their ideology.

General Akinroluyo also called on all community and opinion leaders to educate members of their communities on the development, adding, that they must be vigilant and not fall for the wiles of the terrorists. He added, that while cattle rustling has been earlier identified as a means of raising funds for Boko Haram terrorists, another use for cattle rustling has been invented by the terrorists, which they carry out by first stealing the cattle and later returning same to their owners to make the locals believe they are pious and possibly turn blind eyes to the nefarious activities of the terrorists. He therefore urged the people of the North East, particularly the youth, not to be persuaded to join the terrorists group describing it as the enemy of the people.

The Theatre Commander accompanied by the Commander Sector 2, Brigadier General Mohammed Dala also visited the troops in Nigerian Army Special Forces School and 27 Task Force Brigade both in Buni Yadi, as well as 159 and 233 Battalions in Geidam and Damaturu respectively, where he assured the troops that their operational challenges and welfare are getting adequate attention. He also paid a visit to in-patient troops undergoing medical treatment at the Sector 2 Field Ambulance.

Speaking further during his address to the troops, General Akinroluyo charged them to remain professional and alive to their responsibilities in the onslought against the insurgents, urging them to be resilient until the attainment of a decisive defeat.

Please disseminate this information to the general public through your medium.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

TROOPS ON EXERCISE EGWU EKE III ARREST THUGS WITH DANGEROUS WEAPONS IN SOKOTO STATE

Troops of 8 Division, Nigerian Army, on Exercise EGWU EKE III, in conjunction with other security agencies have recovered dangerous weapons from criminals and political thugs in Sokoto State. This has really contributed immensely to a peaceful security situation in the State.

However, yesterday, Saturday 2nd January 2019, troops on joint stop and search patrol patrol with other security agencies, arrested 16 persons believed to be political thugs armed with dangerous weapons along Illela-Danfulani-Gwadabawa road. The suspects were arrested armed with 27 axes and 16 customised sticks. While still conducting the search, a prominent politician in the state and a serving Senator, came to the scene and ordered his mobile police escorts to release them. In the process, the Department of State Service operative was molested and his clothes torn. The patriotic and professional officer still held on to the seized weapons. Similarly, another prominent politician from Zamfara State had earlier tried to influence the investigation of arrested armed poltical thugs.

These undue pressures and attempts to interfere with the conduct of the Exercise for selfish reasons are indeed worrisome and disturbing and will not be tolerated. The Nigerian Army has always been professional, impartial and apolitical and will continue to be so. Since the operationalization of the Exercise in January 2019, we have arrested thugs armed with dangerous weapons across the various political parties, without fear or favour. The thugs were documented and handed over to the police. We have noted with great concern that such criminals usually find themselves back into the society without any sanction.

Consequently, we would like to reiterate our commitment to creating a conducive and secured environment for the smooth and peaceful conduct of the forthcoming general elections in the country. Therefore, we would not tolerate any undue interference from any quarters in the discharge of this noble responsibility. Additionally, we have resolved to hold on to any arrested criminal or armed thugs till the end of the elections. All Commaders have been further directed to continue to carry out their duties diligently, despite the provocation from some misguided elements.

What a country. Is it not absurd that in 2019 and in a modern era political thuggery is still seen as a machinery for votes.
We are responsible for who and what we get. If MOPOl that is Federally funded can be ordered away from their clear cut job and an agent of DSS be molested what else remains.

In saner climes that politician and the disgrace of a senator would be doing time behind bars for obstruction of justice. Even the Army is worried that those fellows may find their way back to the society and some quarters were canvassing for State police!? Disaster averted hopefully
