Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole currently carrying out Operation Tura Takaibango stationed at Dikwa and Gulumba Gana supported by the Air Component inflicted heavy casualty on Boko Haram Terrorists who attempted to take control of the strategic town of Dikwa, the headquarters of Dikwa LGA of Borno State.  Remember   that the  terrorists  in their number attacked the town with 12 gun trucks  on the eve of Sunday 18 April 2021, just as the locals prepare to break their Ramadan fast for the day. The troops having contained the initial wave of the attack had to occupy their alternative Headquarters at Gulumba Gana to enable the Air Component engage any gun trucks and other technicals in the vicinity of the attack to prevent fratricide. The troops launched a counter attack in the early hours of Monday 19 April 2021 and successfully reoccupied their main headquarters in Dikwa.

According to statements of  Brigadier General  Mohammed Yerima.(Director Army Public Relations), it is noted that the retreating terrorists suffered heavy losses in both equipment and personnel including some of their key leaders from the superior fire power of own troops both from the air and ground forces. The troops are currently patrolling Dikwa town and environs to assess the level of damage inflicted on the terrorists.

The troops have  been commended  for their doggedness, however, the Nigerian Army claimed that they remain committed towards ensuring a safe and secure environment through out the North East theatre.

 It is a good thing to worship God and pray to the Almighty God  wholeheartedly.  My learning  and experience in theology made me understand that our major purpose on Earth is to worship God, and follow his commandments  which are meant for us as practical exercise to test our obedience and faith in existence of the Almighty God, and our relationship with him.  Who is Almighty God ? Almighty God is a supreme being, believing religiously that created the universe and the creatures. No body knows his real name or his beginning.  However, because of fear and faith people have for this unseen creature, they began to give him different titles and names based on their languages and understanding. Infact,In Western part of Nigeria, occupied by Yoruba ethnic group, some folks or traditional worshipers  had claimed that out of fear to talk to Almighty God directly , they chose  gods such as Obatala, Orunmila, Ifa, Osun , Sango etc, known as their asce...
