Abayomi Olonisakin accompanied by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar Sadique and Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibot-Ette Ibas, on Saturday paid an operational visit to the Theatre Command in Maiduguri.The Nigerian Air Force and the Nigerian Army, which are two active forces in the counter-insurgency war in the North-East, have lost over N4.8bn in weaponry in the region between January and May, 2019.
According to a document, Mi-35M orders and deliveries, the crashed helicopter is estimated at over $12million or N4.6bn. The records noted, “The Brazilian Air Force signed a $150m contract with Rosoboron export for 12 Mi-35M helicopters in November 2008. The first three helicopters were delivered in December 2009.
In January 2018, a NAF Mi-17 attack helicopter had also crashed in a counter-insurgency operation in Borno State, with claims from the Boko Haram factional leader, Abubakar Shekau, that his fighters shot down the military aircraft.Since January 2019, at least five army bases in the North-East have been attacked by Boko Haram and the Islamic State West African Province fighters, leading not only to loss of soldiers, but also costly weapons.
Don't tell me you're trying to pad budget with weapon loss.
We are dead then.
How much did they lost the previous erstwhile regimes before the current PMB?
So a country lost N4.8bn worth of weapons to a technically defeated insurgent group? Nobody sacked, nobody on trial, nobody in prisoned. Let's just call it quits and conceed to Boko Haram since we are loosing a LGA budget to a technically defeated terrorist group. Nonsense.
This is falsehood. The Military intentionally handed over the Weapons to the Terror group so as to continue killing Biafrans and take-over the Oil rich lands in pretends of fighting and running. N4.8b weapons in enemies hands is a sign Buhari is sponsoring Herdsmen against us!
And the leaders are still in office. Nigeria military donating weapons to BH and herdmen
Normal no big deal.
They didn't lose it, they were given as gift from the federal government.
Trick to embezzle. Who probes the military except the govt is ousted. Hierarchy doesn't even want the insurgency to end; conduit pipe. Lol
What?! We are in serious soup o! If Boko Haram have weapons worth N4.8bn, in their possession, then we are in for it.
That's the work of buratai and his cabals in government. They spent the money
In other words, they're the one weaponizing the northern bandits This is a formation
Another way to steal money.
Terrible.
frediecruze Tell us how many wasted lives like zamfara votes in this war of infamy!
hihihihih
To who?

itz_larmie The real news is that military wasted N4.8bn weapons in the North East. child's play. Scam
Next level government
It's a shame for nig army to said this . How and why
How is it Our business that politics in the forces is rated above allegiance to the country? They won’t loose it if they don’t lightly esteem their role in defense of the country.
Jesu.... 🙈🙉🙊
Yet the administration has defeated Boko Haram.
Lost to who?...😂.
To d technically defeated bokoharam fighters I guess?
Money 💰💰 that was used for elections!!!
Is this even a country? 🤦🏽♂️
Have they shared it to those people in my mind?
That’s an average of N1bn per month. Are we fighting the 3rd world war?
Oh, Naija
AbdulMahmud01 They have siphoned the money and termed it ' loses through weapon'
Another request for more money for d military $?billion despite huge budget allocation? What was done with $1b is yet to be seen.Captured B/Haram terrorists are given VIP treatment & our Soldiers are killed like chickens. MILITARY SPENDING ARE VAT & OIL MONEY, IT SHOULD BE PROBED
I don’t see why we can’t build our own military hardware
😂😂😂😂😂 Gucci snake at work
A nation in jeopardy.
Or military embezzled N4.8bn worth of weapons to be procured for the fighting of insurgents in the North East since January. God is watching y'all. Continue endangering lifes of Nigerians...😠
4.8b?!!! Since January alone?!!!! My goodness! No no no. Something is definitely wrong.....
& the insurgency continues😔
Are you guys eating the weapons 🙆🏻♂️... useless government
Lost weapons to Boko Haram? No donated the weapons and some souls. Buhari and Buratai, una Weldonooo.
You mean to the same Boko Haram that had been technically defeated? You must be joking. Fools!
Nobody questioned how security budget is spend. but people understand that looting is highly taking place without measure.
HQNigerianArmy I greet una..... Keep wanting everything ok
I CAN'T HEAR U WELL, U MEAN, U LOST WEAPONS TO A TECHNICALLY DEFEATED INSURGENTS?, IT THEN MEANS THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS INDIRECTLY ARMING THEM.
We don enter! By the time this regime finishes with us, I don't think the entity called 'Nigeria' will still be existing!
We all know this is a big fat lie. The military has turned the war to a money making venture.
That's a colossal loss.
We shall loose more we have the oil Wells & even gas !
This is scandalous! All the service chiefs needs to be flogged!
Story for the gods. How are we sure it is not compromise.Fulanisation Islamisation game plan.
Haaaaa! Kada nkada ne.
Lost all these to who and where? If defense can lose this huge which means there’s 🔥 on the mountain ⛰
God go punish all these liars wey dey do all these nonsense to enrich themselves at the detriment of ground troups
Which weapons are you talking about? Where all your men are complaining of No sophisticated weapon giving to them
Terrorism is using the legal source and getting stronger ....😭😭. Army takes weapon delivery ..... Boko boys will collect it in the battle field ... Its disturbing. You can't win a guerilla warfare without eyes in the sky .... Air support Our forces are not well managed ...
How and to who
Integrity La Scammer.
The headline should be 'FG acquires N4.8bn weapons for BH in Five months '
And they are still winning the war
What about the number of gallant soldiers that have been killed or injured since January?
He’s trying to ask for money to buy more then give it out again
Federal government should probe them and sack all the corrupt military.
All the Government leading Nigeria shall never see peace in their life .Amen
Our government is fraud, nd if you support dem u re a fool
