ALERTING NIGERIANS ON THE NEW TACTICS OF SUICIDE BOMBERS
It
has come to the notice of the Defence Headquarters that Boko Haram, in
their desperation to cause colossal havoc, have now devised a new method
where they dress like mad persons to gain unsuspecting access to public
areas to detonate bombs.
The
2 male suicide bombers, dressed like mad women and carried out suicide
bomb attack in Gombi, Adamawa State, is instructive in this direction.
Five people lost their lives and several others were wounded in the
heinous attack by these ungodly people.
The
Defence Headquarters therefore urges our fellow good citizens across
the country to be wary of mad persons approaching markets, public places
or crowded areas so as to nip this ugly trend in the bud.
Nigerians
are also enjoined to be security conscious at all times and should
endeavour to report any suspicious person or object to security agencies
for prompt action.

NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA PLEDGE TO SUPPORT THE MILITARY, AWARDS GENERAL OLONISAKIN
The
concerned group of the Nigerians in Diaspora on security in the United
Kingdom has pledged to work with the Nigerian military through
intelligence gathering and development of software needed in its
operations in the North East. The group, led by the Chairperson House of
Representative Committee on Diaspora matters, Honourable Barrister Rita
Orji made this pledge at the Defence Headquarters Abuja, during the
presentation of an award to the Chief of Defence Staff General Gabriel
Olonisakin.
Honourable
Barrister Orji stated that the award was given to the CDS in
appreciation of the gallantry and doggedness of the military in keeping
the nation united despite predictions of a break-up Nigeria before the
2015 general election. She noted that Nigerians in Diaspora acknowledged
the sacrifices the members of Armed Forces are rendering towards
keeping Nigeria safe from insurgency and insecurity. The award of
gallantry presented to the Chief of Defence Staff, according to
Honourable Barrister Orji, was to say thank you to the members of Armed
Forces through the CDS so as to spur the military to do more in this
noble endeavour.
Receiving
the award, General Olonisakin expressed appreciation to the group for
identifying with the military, especially at this trying period in our
nation’s history. He stated that the award was for the Nigerian
military, both the dead and the living, as well as members of their
families who also bear the brunt of the insecurity in the North East and
other parts of the country.
General
Olonisakin noted that terrorism is a global phenomenon and therefore
urged Nigerians in diaspora and international community to rise up to
challenges and join hands to wage war against insurgency and terrorism.
Present at the occasion, apart from the group of Nigerians in diaspora,
are some members of the House of Rep Committee on diaspora and Principal
Staff Officers of the Defence Headquarters.
