Nigerian Army Confirms Ambush On Its Troops by LivingHuman: 9:15pm On Feb 10, 2017 |
The Nigerian Army has confirmed the attack on its troops by Boko Haram terrorists. Reports had emerged earlier that the Boko Haram insurgents ambushed a convoy of new Nigerian Army recruits in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, killing seven of them and abducting three others that included a female soldier in the attack. But in a statement signed by the Deputy Director Army Public Relations 7 Division, Lieutenant Colonel Kingsley Samuel, the army said that 7 Soldiers were killed while 19 others sustained injuries of various degrees. The statement reads; "ROTATING TROOPS FIGHT THROUGH BOKO HARAM AMBUSH Troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE gallantly fought their way through Boko Haram Terrorists ambush along Ajiri-Dikwa road, Borno State. Elements of troops affected encountered the ambush while conducting routine rotation of troops last night. The gallant troops fought their way through, killing many of the terrorists. Unfortunately, 7 soldiers paid the supreme price in the incident while 19 soldiers sustained various degree of injuries. The soldiers who sustained injuries during the fierce encounter have been evacuated and are currently receiving treatment at Military hospital in Maiduguri. The troops recovered an AK-47 rifle and ammunitions from the insurgents. Additional troops have been mobilised and are still on aggressive pursuit of the fleeing Boko Haram terrorists. You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your various news media. Thank you for your usual cooperation. KINGSLEY SAMUEL Lieutenant Colonel Deputy Director Army Public Relations 7 Division" http://www.cambellsblog.com/2017/02/nigerian-army-confirms-boko-haram.html 1 Like

Please my good people, Have the boko haram insurgents risen from the dead abi my eyes didn't see clearly when I saw it boldly written that boko haram has been defeated, exterminated, trounced and so on. The propaganda in thIs our country is too much ooh.So becos they want that dundi to fight for 2019, they had to feed the masses with lies? Chai, and now the boko boys are angry, Heck! they have killed more of our military men this new year. Instead of this people to tell us the truth so we can show our relentless support in this cause they are busy feeding us with lies, how can you trust a liar? If you notice now, the army didn't say anything about the 3 pple abducted by the boko boys... Make Una Try Change oohh ![]() 10 Likes |

They could only recover an AK47 rifle. What a pity ![]() I urge any eligible Nigerian youth that would want to enlist into the Nigerian Army not to do so for now, because it's more like a suicide mission to me. 10 new recruits gone just like that in place of a rusty AK47 rifle. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
