Some Nigerian soldiers who were recently ambushed and had some of them killed had opened up in distress over what they referred to as “Wickedness from the Nigerian Army” to have abandoned them to their fate.
One of them was seen in a viral video crying 😢 and he called out Brutai, the Army chief.
However, the Nigeria Army has come online to issue a press release explaining what really happened in a very professional manner.

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 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 counselling.
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.
Two soldiers paid the supreme price and three other soldiers sustained injuries.
