According to Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, Chief of Air Staff, CAS, the sub-region’s security frameworks have been upset by the Alliance of Sahel States’ exit from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS.
He added that plans by Chad to pull out of the Multinational Joint Task Force would affect the ability of the joint security force to conduct operations.
Air Marshal Abubakar, who stated this at a review meeting with Field Commanders in Abuja, said terror groups’ use of drones carrying locally fabricated grenades in a kamikaze role to attack troops in Damboa last year indicates the growing efforts of terrorists to proliferate drone attack technology.
He emphasized that it had become critical to implement a comprehensive and integrated counter-unmanned aerial vehicle system to safeguard troops and air assets.
Recall that on January 29, 2025, ECOWAS recognized the exit of three of its former members, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger Republic, upon the expiration of a one-year notice period.
However, in “the spirit of regional solidarity,” ECOWAS asked its member countries to still recognize the national passports of the three exiting countries bearing the ECOWAS logo until further notice.
Their departure from the bloc has fractured the region and is leaving the ECOWAS grouping with an uncertain future.
The three countries formally notified ECOWAS of their plan for an “immediate” withdrawal in January 2024, citing the organization’s excessive dependence on France in particular.

It sounds so stupendous to hearing that a whole Nigeria whose wealth flows like the mighty ocean is trying hide out from SETTLEMENT of great hero of Grand single bone, GENERAL LEGEND DANDY CHUKSON.
A whole great hero who choice to die for his country under sun under rain to hear that up till now the federal government refused to respond to all my efforts to reach them.
When once there is no reason I felt that it might be well known tendencies of blatant hatred and so vendetta and glaring vengeance along the line with a hidden agenda, so unresponsive and arrogant disposition being coupled with penchant for arbitrariness.
It is a great taboo on His EXCELLENCY Ahmed Bola Tinubu, this is a burnt of stigma that can never be alleviated by the golden sun and the silver moon .
yet remember you are upon the throne today I was the brain behind it and peace upon your throne, ignoring me in this way makes me feel like had I know my second option could have been my right choice .
If the federal government is waiting to review every underground deal that I have with the federal government that means it devalues the unperturbable equanimity and serene bone homie of the country, this is my lamentation thanks.
GENERAL LEGEND DANDY CHUKSON
