Nigerian Soldiers Flee Again To Cameroon by Nobody: 6:28am On Nov 02, 2014
No fewer than 300 Nigerian soldiers fled to
Cameroon when Boko Haram insurgents overran
Mubi, the second largest city in Borno State from
security forces on Wednesday, SUNDAY PUNCH has
learnt.
.
Cameroonian military sources told our
correspondent that Nigerian soldiers fled the north-
eastern part of Nigeria, where the insurgency
launched by the sect was raging, and crossed the
Nigeria-Cameroon border.
.
The sources also said more Nigerian troops might
have fled to other border towns in Cameroon after
the Mubi attack. However, he added that their
number had yet to be ascertained.
.
SUNDAY PUNCH also learnt that the deserting
Nigerian soldiers would be moved away from the
border areas to more secure locations, where they
would be disarmed, fed and eventually repatriated to
Nigeria.
.
The insurgents had taken over Mararaba Hildi, some
few kilometres to Mubi town, on Tuesday, prompting
a mass exodus of residents.

They didn't run, they tactically manoeuvred into a foreign territory.

A few weeks ago, it seemed as though our boys had finally broken the spine of the insurgents with new of fleeing terrorists, defecting terrorists, killed terrorists and their "No1 leader", recaptured territories, and likely return of our girls. The mood was indeed euphoric. What happened that the tide suddenly seems to have changed in their favour

All these are coming on the heels of the release by South Africa of the $9.5mill meant to procure arms for "our military" and the NASS's approval of a loan of $1billion to procure arms for "our armed forces" to fight the "terrorists"!!

Honestly, one begins to wonder, who really are "the terrorists" and who is the "Nigerian armed forces" against whom arms were to be used and to whom arms were to be given respectively What was behind the SUDDEN turn of events

Are we witnessing the mother of all sabotage and treason here

I smell a very big foul play here.

Everything was all lies my dear brother. No spines were broken with the claws of ugly sabotage that ate deep into the Army.
