Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Azubuike Ihejirika, has accused his men of collaborating with members of the Boko Haram sects by exposing top secrets of their operations to the insurgents.

The army boss said this in Abuja at a seminar on personnel management and development organized by the Army Transformation and Innovation Center.

Ihejirika said that soldiers who have been collaborating with Boko Haram insurgents had hindered military operations, even causing the death of his men.

The COAS boss warned soldiers to stop such acts, and vowed to deal with those found guilty of the offence decisively.

He added that he had advised Commanders to take it easy while dismissing soldiers, but maintained that if a soldier’s misconduct was in terms of disloyalty, then the Army would have no choice than to dismiss and jail such officer.

General Ihejirika revealed that, as part of its readiness to tackle security challenges in the country, the Army was training more than 1000 amphibious soldiers to operate in waterways.

In addition, he said the Army was establishing a reserved battalion to be led by a Colonel, that will be supported by 25 other officers, while also building 176 Battalion at Gwagwalada in Abuja.

Earlier, the Chief of Army Transformation and Innovation, Major-General Ibrahim Sani, remarked that active digitalized road blocks/ checkpoints have been set up to ensure close to monitor movements of criminals, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), arms and ammunitions. He added that the new equipment would reduce the traffic problems road users are facing in the country

  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger  Eldar Murtazin  tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
