The Defence Headquarters has issued a statement after some soldiers who escaped Boko Haram ambushed were seen cursing Nigeria's chief of staff, Tukur Buratai.
Read the full statement below:
The Troops of Combat Team 1, Operation KANTANA JIMLAN on long range
admin patrol along Buni Yadi – Buni Gari axis encountered multiple
Improvised Explosive Devices and Boko Haram Terrorists’ ambush, eight
kilometres ahead of Buni-Gari in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe
State on the 18 of May 2020.
Two soldiers paid the supreme price and three other soldiers
sustained injuries as a result of the IED explosion. Additionally, a
recovery truck, one troops carrying vehicle and a water tanker that ran
into the IED were destroyed by fire. Three terrorists were neutralized
while unconfirmed number escaped with various degrees of injury.
However, due to mental snap/distress occasioned by fog of war, two
of the soldiers who escaped the IED and terrorists’ ambush recorded the
incident with uncomplimentary remarks, about the Nigerian Army and her
leadership, which was released on the social media. Although this kind
of outburst is expected in war, the soldiers involved have been
identified and would undergo observation and counseling.
The Armed Forces of Nigeria will remain unwavering in its quest to
end the terrorism and will do everything possible to ensure there is no
repeat of this kind of traumatic incident/outburst.
The Military High Command commends troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE for their unwavering determination, hard work and resilience.
