|
[AllAfrica] Abuja — The Presidency reeled out the achievements of the military as it revealed that Nigerian soldiers in a period of 10 months in 2020 killed 1,805 Boko Haram
 ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
krazed killers/murderous Moslems in the North East as well as 473 armed bandidos in the North West.
The Media Adviser to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, who made this public in a statement titled "Security Check List As Nigeria Marks Armed Forces Remembrance Day," also stated that the military from 18 March to 30 December, 2020 neutralised 2,403 criminal elements, including terrorists, bandidos, kidnappers, and cattle rustlers, across the country in addition to scores of other murderous Moslems and armed bandidos killed during air strikes.

He explained that the military through Operation Lafiya Dole in the North East killed 1,805 forces of Evil and terrorists, including commanders apart from several others killed via air raids and attacks by troops.
"In the North East, 200 kidnapped victims were rescued by troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE. A total of 1,385 rounds of ammunition, 45 grenades as well as 95 assorted rifles were recovered from BHT/ISWAP
...Boko Haram/ISIS in the West Africa Province. In less than a decade went from purifying the local Muslims to full blown jihad, accelerated when the #1 was killed and #2 Abubakar Shekau (that’s his picture at the top of the article) pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda, later switching to hot new ISIS (hence ISWAP). They were labelled the world’s deadliest terrorists while expanding operations into the surrounding countries. A resolute regional defense eventually drove the survivors into hiding in Nigeria’s Sambisi Forest and some Lake Chad islands, but has not closed the deal. Abu-Musab al-Barnawi, heir of the dead BH founder was sent — waving an ISIS Approval Form 2306f/BH — to turn around the franchise. Mr. Shekau’s scrawny rump of BH loyalists still pop up from time to time, because the Nigerian army can’t find secret hideouts... fighters. In addition, several gun trucks were captured, while some others were destroyed during air strikes. Additionally, within the period, a total of 79 arrests were made including high value targets"
Adesina emphasised that apart from the 473 armed bandidos killed, a lot of recoveries were made by the military in the North West.
His words: "In the North West, 5,281 livestock, 6,951 rounds of ammunition and 120 assorted rifles were recovered from the armed bandidos by the gallant troops in the Zone, 455 kidnapped victims were rescued and 461 arrests were made in the Zone including high profile armed bandidos, gun runners and bandidos' collaborators, while a total cash of N6,365,550 was recovered from armed bandidos and their informants in the zone".
Other activities of the military as highlighted by Adesina include rescue of a total of 864 kidnapped victims by troops across the country, recovery of a total of 9,684,797 litres of stolen diesel and 33,516,000 litres of kerosene.
"Equally, 1,910 criminal elements were arrested and large cache of arms, ammunition and equipment were recovered during the period, while a total of 46,581.8 barrels of stolen crude oil and 22,881,257 litres of stolen PMS were recovered by the troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria".
The presidential front man also revealed that government has embarked on massive purchase of military hardware, including 23 new aircraft while combat aerial vehicles will be procured between now and 2022.
"The federal government is investing heavily in military hardware, including 23 new aircraft that have already been delivered and inducted into service, while another 18 manned aircraft and 8 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) are being awaited, in 2021/2022. This is in addition to attack boats, patrol vessels, armoured tanks and so on."
