War against terrorism being won particularly in Northeast-BKO

 

For those gallant men and women who risk their lives to protect our freedom, it’s a selfless act of value and they deserve a collective gratitude.

The director of public relations and information Nigerian Air Force, NAF headquarters Abuja air commodore Edward Gabwit says the force has killed more than 100 terrorists, including some of their leaders in an air strike on the 20 December in Borno state, operation Hadin Kai members achieved this feat at Mantari village in Bama LGA.

We are winning the war against terrorists especially in the north east. Wea are in a more better place now. This set of service chiefs and the officers men have done a tremendous job.

These were the submissions of veteran journalist Babajide Kolade-Otitiju on Boxing day’s edition of Journalists Hangout.

According to him, gone are the days when some terrorists can gather gun trucks and go to an army base to intimidate our soldiers, if they try it now they are going to be detected, and the air force will move in these air platforms to fry them.

“I’m particularly happy because both service chiefs were in Maiduguri on Sunday and they promoted their soldiers on the spot which is quite unusual.

“Soldiers air ratings, airmen who had demonstrated value over time were promoted on the spot. The officers got recommendation. The warrant officer who were promoted not long ago got another promotion on Sunday.

“Because these soldiers and officers are seeing these service chiefs work with them in tandem, their men are prepared to give their best.

“Every time their men see them together. It deepens the unity and the sense of purposefulness within the armed forces, We have never had it this good and there is a lot that you can achieve when you are working together.

The chief of air staff is of the regular course 35 while the chief of army staff is of the regular course 37 but in spite of that, the chief of air staff has tremendous respect for the chief of army staff who by nature of the time they entered. The Air Force is senior.

And that is why you see them together, they’re working together, they are focused and they are achieving their goals, especially in the Northeast.

“We have the armed Forces doing a much better job than before in terms of protecting our people, so people can go to their farms more than they were able to do some years back.

“In terms of harvest, it’s bountiful, we can still do better. But at least the government can testify that this is much better than previous year, at least the last three years since he has been governor.

“I am happy that we are seeing progress.

“The Tucanos were involved in this operation, as we have expected and these boys were dealt with. This also happened just before Christmas.

Speaking further on the situation, Mr Adewale Adeoye, Executive Director, Journalist for Democratic Rights (JODER) said a lot of Nigerians may not appreciate the sacrifices that the Soldiers are making in our homes, celebrating Christmas, eating and drinking, some people don’t have that leeway. They left their children, their wives, their loved ones to be on the battle field, waiting to kill in self defense or waiting to be killed.

“I am glad that the chief of air staff and the chief of army staff were not sitting in their homes drinking wine, but right on the battle field to share the moments through the thick and thin with the frontline men.

“This is a very significant feat, if this had not happened, many homes would have been shedding tears by now” Mr Adeoye added.
