"BEFORE WE'RE MISLED ON THE MILITARY DECLARATION"~~ GEN.DANLADI ZAKARI (RTD)

Before many people are misled on the Military Declaration, let's get some facts correct on decisions process without jeopardizing the secrecy of National Security!

Three facts are not made available to anybody but are in public domain to make an informed comments DHQ's Declaration!

First, the military is part of the national security architecture!

Secondly, the highest decision body to decide such classification is the National Security Council which is chaired by the president. Reports are made to that body on security issues and needed actions are marshaled out.

Thirdly, the C in C Directives is issued with necessary rules of engagement which must emphasize the Geneva Conventions and all other protocols.

Do I think this procedure was followed? I am very pretty sure that these processes were followed including inputs from the local authorities (I.e, the governors of the effected areas).

Who makes the announcement? Usually, the president/C inC will appoint an authority to implement his directives. In this case, the Chief of Army Staff since it is a land operations. Even, the US follows these procedures for crisis area. I am stating these facts because I was once the Director of Defense Operations who prepared some of these documents for deployment of troops. A lot of misinformed scenarios are floating around as to the power of the president to deploy troops. The current exercise, ' Python Dance' is classified as training which could be changed to operations. You have US and South Korea having military exercise near the waters of North Korea. The congress doesn't need to approve that military training. You and I know why the exercise is taking place.

No military can unitary take laws into its hands And do what he wants. Go and read what happened between Gen MacArthur and President Truman! Or Gen POWELL and President Bush on the Iraqi operations. It is important that we try to understand how security related actions are taken before misleading the public.

And let me state this for a fact! No military command would want to deploy his troops for operations because he wouldn't want to loose a soldier. As a commander, you are bound to take and implement all lawful orders because you will be held accountable after the mission.

Besides, do you think it a mere coincidence that the South East Governors today proscribed IPOB! Just think deep and rationalize the reality.

GUNMEN INVADES HAUSA/FULANI SETTLEMENT IN ABRAKA...4 FEARED DEAD !

According to source, at least four persons have been killed in Asaba, the Delta State,  by yet unknown assailants. The suspected assailants, who invaded the unsuspecting Hausa/Fulani settlement at about 10pm Friday night at the Abraka market within the Asaba metropolis, killed three men, one woman and left several others with injuries.

Armed with guns and other dangerous weapons, the suspected killers shot sporadically into where the people were sleeping. A credible Hausa source told our correspondent that the suspects also threw bomb into their Mosgue at Cable point, adding that a brave Hausa man picked up the bomb and threw it into the river before it could explode.

The source who pleaded anonymity at press time, said armed soldiers and policemen came to their rescue, chasing the suspected invaders away.

 He said the security agents took the injured persons to the hospital for treatment and deposited the corps of the deceased at the mortuary, lamenting that they did not sleep all through the night.

PHOTO: NIGERIAN MAN FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER IN UK

Abraham Omotoso,27,  of Tudor Gardens, Harrow, was found guilty of manslaughter at the Old Bailey, Friday, 15 September, following a two-week trial. He was found not guilty of murder. He will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, 13 October.

Omotoso,who stabbed a father of two to death in a busy high street while his young daughter was in a nearby shop has been found guilty of killing him. Police were called at about 18:50hrs on Monday, 27 February 2017 to reports that a man had been stabbed in High Street, Wealdstone.

The man was taken to a central London hospital by London Ambulance Service but despite the best efforts of medical staff and extensive surgery, he was pronounced dead at about 02:30hrs on Tuesday, 28 February.

The victim was identified as Mohamed Al-Zufairi, 34, from Harrow. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.

Shortly before 18:50hrs on 27 February, Mohamed arrived in High Street, Wealdstone, with his eight-year-old daughter. He sent her into Poundland to buy some items while he waited outside. It was then that he was approached by Omotoso.

Witnesses reported that they had a short argument before Omotoso, who was wearing a parka-style coat with the hood pulled up, stabbed Mohamed and ran from the scene still holding the knife.

Luckily, Mohamed’s daughter did not witness the incident. On Tuesday, 28 February police were notified that the suspect could have been someone by the name of Femi Omotoso. At about 18:00hrs on 28 February he was arrested on the suspicion of murder under the name of Abraham Omotoso at Gatwick airport having just purchased a one-way ticket to Nigeria with cash.

Detectives carried out a number of enquiries, including reviewing CCTV which showed Mohamed walking with his daughter in High Street on 27 February before she goes into Poundland.

It also shows Omotoso walking in High Street in a ‘purposeful’ manner before approaching Mohamed, fleeing the scene and getting in a black Range Rover nearby and driving away.

Officers also tracked Omotoso’s movements in the days leading up to the murder and he was caught on CCTV wearing the same parka-style coat on two separate occasions.

Detectives also examined Omotoso’s mobile phone data which showed it was inactive between 12:40hrs and 19:09hrs on 27 February, which was not in line with Omotoso’s usual daily phone use patterns. The phone’s movement also matched the movement of the Range Rover that left the scene of the crime.

Omotoso remained silent in all of his police interviews. He was charged on 6 March.
Detectives believe the motive for the attack was an ongoing feud between the victim’s brothers and Omotoso’s brother and friends.

Detective Inspector Jon Meager, the investigating officer from the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command, said:

"This was a brutal attack in a busy high street which resulted in a young father losing his life. While his daughter did not witness the assault, it is something that is undoubtedly going to affect her for life.

“Omotoso has shown no remorse for his actions on that day. I hope his conviction gives Mohamed’s family a measure of closure and comfort."

In a statement, Mohamed’s brother Jafar said:

"Mohamed was a family man, his family came first. I still can not really believe what has happened to Mohamed, the constant grief just gets worse. It’s like a massive hole just suddenly appeared in our family, our big brother was there one minute and suddenly he was snatched away. None of us can get a grasp of or understand. It makes it so much worse that we know that he was killed.

"I think it has hit his daughter the hardest. She did not see her dad being stabbed, but was with him. She walked to the local shops to get some sweets with her dad and returned home without him. She was the last one with, holding his hand as she says ‘Daddy never came home with me.
"Our lives will never be the same, they have been scarred."
