In most recent times, the Nigerian military has lost an unspecified number of personnel in the ceaseless fight against violent crimes.This is disturbing.
Indeed, these heinous and grievous crimes are not abating while criminals are now so brazen and bold to confront those saddled with the responsibilities of safeguarding lives and property.
Even though those in government have, for a long time, covertly supported undesirable elements, their faceless status has not helped matters.
Mourning and condolences, which have already become a routine for public officeholders, are inadequate to reverse the ugly trend.
For the convener of the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andew Emelieze, the top echelon of the military should go beyond physical force to address the worrisome situation.
''The Nigerian military has sacrificed too many of its personnel in the war against insurgency. So many lives have been lost. This shows that force should not only be relied on to bring an end to insurgency. Therefore, the root cause of this evil should be identified and addressed. Nigerians should be allowed to sit down and write out a new constitution on how they want to live, to decide their relationship, without recourse to force and falsehood.'' Comrade Emelieze concluded.
The adoption of the suitale psychologial mindse, identifiying and cleansing of the moles witin and te sensitive nature of assignments over the years ave staken back seat.

Chicago Man Convicted of Attempting To Provide Material Support to ISIS

CHICAGO — A federal jury today convicted a Chicago man of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
The jury convicted THOMAS OSADZINSKI, 22, after a two-week trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The charge of attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman did not immediately set a sentencing date.
The conviction was announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Mark Lesko, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice; and Emmerson Buie, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI.
The case was investigated by the Chicago Joint Terrorism Task Force, which is comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Barry Jonas and Melody Wells of the Northern District of Illinois, and Alexandra Hughes, Trial Attorney of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
Evidence presented at trial revealed that ISIS and its supporters disseminated the terror group’s propaganda materials on social media to recruit fighters and inspire violence against the United States and other countries. Many social media platforms remove ISIS media content due to the violent nature of the materials. Osadzinski, a U.S. citizen, designed a process using a computer script to make ISIS propaganda more conveniently disseminated online. The process would automatically copy and preserve ISIS media postings in an organized format, allowing social media users to continue to conveniently access and share the content.
Osadzinski in 2019 shared his script – and instructions for how to use it – with individuals whom he believed to be ISIS supporters and members of pro-ISIS media organizations. Unbeknownst to Osadzinski, the individuals were actually covert FBI employees and a person confidentially working with law enforcement.
