Army Releases Statement After Boko Haram Ambushed UN Convoy In Borno by mighty2: 5:32am On Dec 19, 2017 |
@ http://seunexloaded.ga The Nigerian army has released an official statement after Boko Haram terrorists ambushed a United Nations convoy killing some people. PRESS RELEASE NO UN STAFF KILLED IN MAULA ENCOUNTER WITH INSURGENTS Contrary to the information currently making the rounds in a section of the media that four United Nations staff had been killed and four trucks conveying food for internally displaced persons were carted away, the Theatre Command Operation Lafiya Dole wishes to state that the report grossly misrepresents the true situation of the incident as none of the casualties in the encounter has been identified as a staff of the UN. In setting the record straight, it is necessary to state here that a patrol escorting a convoy of civilian vehicles to Logomani encountered an ambush staged by elements of Boko Haram insurgents at Maula village along Dikwa-Ngala trans sahara highway which resulted in a firefight between troops and the insurgents.The troops however fought through the ambush, overpowered the insurgents and killed six of them. The troops also captured 3 AK 47 rifles, 3 locally fabricated fire arms, 4 magazines and a belt of 7.62 mm ammunition. Sadly four persons died in the encounter. Although none of the persons killed in the ambush has so far been identified as a staff of the UN, this Headquarters considers the lives of all citizens and indeed all humans sacrosanct, which must be protected by troops even at a supreme price. The situation has been brought under control and and further exploitation of the general area is currently being carried out by Mobile strike Team of Operation Lafiya Dole. Please disseminate this information through your various news media to the general public. Thank you for your cooperation.

So because the four persons who died in a "UN convoy" on "UN duty" have not yet been identified as UN staff the army thinks there is no cause for alarm and has debunked the news ..SMH 1 Like |

Experts have commended the Nigerian army for its effort against terrorism - Eagleee http://eagleee.com/detail?newsId=465139 During a two-day seminar organised by the Save Humanity Advocacy Centre (SHAC), experts have scored the Nigerian army high in its efforts to stop violent groups from destroying Nigeria. The seminar, with the theme "Global War Against Terrorism: For Nigeria, A Choice Between Law and Life", tackled humanitarian and human rights issues in Nigeria's war against Boko Haram. The group in its assessment of the Nigerian army said the military might have achieved more if it were not distracted in the discharge of its responsibility. They faulted a growing trend of international non-governmental organizations being used to diminish Nigeria's ability to effectively use its military to fight terrorism.
