Timothy Olanrewaju, Maiduguri

Soldiers of the Special Force deployed to Borno State for the counterinsurgency operation have been shooting at the Maiduguri airport.

The soldiers also barricaded the airport gate for since 6:15 p.m., firing shots sporadically into the air and forcing many residents around the area to flee.

The Sun gathered that the shootings were protests against redeployment of the soldiers from Maiduguri to another location at the northern part of Borno State.

The soldiers said they were deployed to Borno since February 2015 and ought to have been released to return to their original unit after serving three years at the theatre on counter-Boko Haram operation.

“We left our families for almost four years now. Ordinarily, we should have been released to return to our unit having spent three years in this theatre. But we were told this evening by our superior officers to start park our things and prepare for redeployment to Marte (northern Borno).

“We feel this is unfair and against what the Chief of Army Staff has always said that any soldier who has spent three years in the theatre will be relieved and allow to return to his unit. This is unfair,” one of the protesting soldier claimed.

Army spokesman, Brig Gen Texas Chukwu could not immediately respond to enquiry about the incident. He promised to respond as soon as the army ascertain the “true situation.”

    Any this territory native in the enemy’s brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. who do not quit now and join the Revolution under the natives Disintegrated Republics in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun, must go down in the hands of the enemy or with the enemy in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives. The enemy’s brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. has been crushed technically and must be erased with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun. The fraudulent political name Nigeria is dead and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa. Fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates has fallen and gone forever. It is Revolutionary Militant Groups- RMG etc. formation which its members are the new military, police etc. under the natives Disintegrated Republics- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic. God given Victory is the natives. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!

    @Ezekiel. Yes, I completely agree with you and thanks for reminding me once again my weakness. I do not need to sympathize with this blood suckers anymore because they have done worst since the killings of innocent people and adoption of Mazi. But if you asked me I would rather move under diplomatic cover to bring all these to end without Breaking Okezie’s Ikpeazu mother’s pot which is more important to him than lives of innocent people and that of EZe Kanu who palace was overthrown for a selfish pot azu. I think, he loves azu-fish more than human lives. So, I simply agree with you Ezekiel that after the carot play the war song. Life is meaningless in one Nigeria.

    @Alain, the principle is Diplomacy or War. When Aburi accord which is Diplomacy failed, the Sword was the only answer with which the Liberation Foundation was successfully established in the 1967-1970 bloody engagement. This is the fulfillment under the natives Disintegrated Republics- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North Central Republic, North Central Republic. God is the fulfillment. Diplomacy has failed long ago in this fulfillment of the Liberation under the natives Disintegrated Republics. The Sword is the only answer now in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives under the natives Disintegrated Republics which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun. It is Revolutionary Militant Groups- RMG etc. formation which its members are the new military, police etc. under the natives Disintegrated Republics. The war front is Sokoto- the last bastion of fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates under the dead fraudulent political name Nigeria with their brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. controlled by British bandits and fraudulent criminal America with their fraudulent criminal UN of 20th century world international order. Slaughter the last enemy in Sokoto. Slaughter the last fulani in Sokoto. Slaughter the last enemy’s brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. in Sokoto. Slaughter the criminal tout nickname sultan in Sokoto, burn down his palace etc. Slaughter every emir in this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics, burn down their palaces etc., which secures existence securities and freedom of northern natives from the bondage of fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates, which secures existence securities and freedom of this territory natives of this generation from the bondage of the fraudulent political name Nigeria. God given Victory is the natives. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!
