Furthermore, @PIDOMNIGERIA stated that, “The military equipments and large number of armoured personnel carriers were offloaded from the FOT Port, very late in the night, when there were less persons or activities on the road.

“On Tue the 8th of August 2023, I intercepted a military signal calling for a special military operation in Sokoto, after the Nigerian senate has stand down the military deployment of soldiers in Niger-Republic. Tinubu govt wanted to still use the Special Ops to disguise.

“The special Operation force being sent to Sokoto in disguise for OPHD operation. First of it’s kind in Sokoto since the OPHD operations started in Nigeria.
Who is arming the soldiers? France. What weapons and military equipments will they use? The ones shipped into Nigeria, from France, via Onne seaport in Rivers State.CLICK TO ALSO READ: US, France Back ECOWAS Military Intervention Against Niger
