Soldiers Die In A Boat Mishap In Delta State by wordychap: 9:28pm On May 20, 2016 |
Two Nigerian soldiers have been confirmed dead and several others injured in a boat mishap in Delta State, a day after a soldier drowned in Bayelsa State. The latest incident, which happened on Friday, involved a military patrol team around the creeks of Egwa 1, near an SPDC flow station in Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta. It came after another boat mishap at Agip’s oil field in Bayelsa on Thursday killed a soldier. Some residents of the area told PREMIUM TIMES that the incident occurred around 10 am Friday. The residents wondered why the military was deploying troops who could not swim to engage militants in their familiar terrain. The incident, it was learnt, has thrown the Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Pulo Shied and 3 Battalion of the Nigerian Army Effurun, into mourning. Community sources also confirmed the incident but could not give details. A senior military officer, who later confirmed the incident, said the military boat was carrying about 10 soldiers when it capsized. The officer said they were on a normal routine patrol of oil installations around the Egwa 1 community when the incident occurred. It was further gathered that those who sustained various degrees of injuries had been conveyed to an undisclosed hospital for medical care in Warri. “We lost two of our soldiers to a boat mishap early this morning around Egwa 1 in Warri South West of Delta State. They were patrolling the creeks when the incident happened. Report reaching us says scores were injured,” the officer, who spoke on a condition of anonymity said. Isa Ado, JTF’s spokesman could not be reached for response. Calls and a text message sent to his telephone line were equally not answered or replied. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/203783-soldiers-die-another-niger-delta-boat-mishap.html 1 Like |

This is one of the reasons why the Nigerian Army won't be able to defeat the Niger Delta militants. The Soldiers simply cannot swim. Puncture a boat in deep waters and the Nigerian Soldiers will most likely all drown. Most of the militants have been swimming since they were kids and can probably ecan rescue their drowning comrades 61 Likes 8 Shares |

The problem is more than 80% of nigerian military/paramilitary personnel CANNOT swim, even the so called amphibious division, and it's a big shame...you can quote me anytime. Go and find out! For instance, how can a naval personnel not know how to swim?? I have a lot of them like that as friends. This shows the level of corruption a.k.a 'man-know-man' that goes on steadily in the recruitment and training process where people are enlisted without fully passing through the process. There's no way the nigerian military can defeat those boys in the creeks...they're no match. The nigerian military should consider training personnel right there in the creeks as part of their recruitment/training process. 64 Likes 5 Shares |
