State police, community police and the battle at Matazu. 

By Tahir Ibrahim Tahir. 

The death of Maj. Gen. Abubakar Rabe, may Allah forgive his soul, has hit hard on the conscience of the Nigerian society; both the security apparatus and the civilian populace have been in their lowest ebb in the face of such a damning loss. A decorated officer who had retired to a humble life, after diligently serving his nation with his life on the line for decades as a prominent figure in the fight against insurgency and terrorism; has now fallen in the captivity of bandits. His life did not fall in any of the fierce battle theatres; but as a cheap target of terrorists who have been in a huge burnout as a result of intense military operations of the last two months. In the month of may alone, 450 terrorists were eliminated by several operations of the Nigerian military such as the Operation Hadin Kai, and Operation Sweep III of Operation Fansan Yamma. Combined ground and aerial offensives have led to the release of 361 kidnap victims in Borno, and the extermination of a convoy of over 100 bandits in Niger state in the space of a month. The most recent release of another 45 hostages in Borno a few days ago speaks volumes of the new war on terror. The evolution of terrorism in Nigeria has necessitated not only the revamping of Nigeria's military artillery, but a remodelling of the security-architecture where hybrid teams are saddled with tactical operations that besiege terrorist activities with greater precision. These specialised teams also help in plugging leakages of details of army operations. The DSS has also mounted such operations alongside vigilante/ community guards, and such is the case with the military too. The military has in the last few years churned out various special & tactical forces with expertise in counter-terrorism operations. The Office of the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has been facilitating these specialised tactical teams which have been recording tremendous success in intelligence driven counter-insurgency operations in states like Kogi, Niger and Kwara. These special teams have led to the neutralisation of bandit kingpin Kachalla Ibrahim Bastuji. 

Insurgency in Nigeria had found harbour in vast ungoverned forest spaces that presented as territories and breeding grounds for terrorism. Our borders have been porous enough to serve as toll-free gates for invading marauders who have revolutionised our home-bred/ local content brand of terrorism. Today, we have awoken to a battle royal of terrorist groups fighting over vast lands of forests and intertwined communities. Boko haram, ISWAP, ISSP, Bandits, Lakurawa, IPOB and your good old armed robbers and kidnappers are all part of the composite group labeled terrorists. Miners of mineral resources and timber harvesters are all components of the insecurity industry pillaging Nigeria, especially in the North. The fight against terror is in its 2nd decade and the otherwise smaller or confined terrorist activity in one region has now become a national impasse as the nation continues to bleed from its menace. There are virtually no safe havens now as almost all the regions of the country are battling one form of insurgency or the other. However, recent military exploits have rekindled our hopes for the better.
