Nigerian Army Confirms Troops Fled Mubi; Investigation Now Underway by Austindark(m): 9:05pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
The Nigerian Defence Headquarters has confirmed that an entire battalion of soldiers fled the town of Mubi in Adamawa State earlier today in response to an attack by “insignificant” Boko Haram militants, but that an investigation is going on to establish why. SaharaReporters reported earlier in the day that the town had fallen to the militants. A senior military source said there was no reason to believe that the Special Operation Battalion troops stationed in Mubi should have fled from the militants or in response to their threats because the army had decided to use the headquarters in Mubi to launch an attack to retake several towns from Boko Haram in the coming days. To that effect, five artillery tanks had been brought into Mubi in the last few days, the source said. The officer disclosed that efforts are being made to send in fresh troops to replace the fleeing ones and push out any militants that might have entered Mubi. As previously reported by SaharaReporters, residents and soldiers fled Mubi earlier today as information filtered in that Boko Haram militants had arrived and seized the town, gunshots rending the air. Some of the soldiers who spoke to our reporter said their base had fallen to the militants but the senior officer said he could not confirm if the militants reached the base as the troops had all fled. The soldiers said air patrols were taking place around the area. Efforts to reach military spokesman General Chris Olukolade to speak about the situation have so far proved abortive. http://saharareporters.com/2014/10/29/nigerian-army-confirms-troops-fled-mubi-investigation-now-underway |

what else do you expect from an army corp that has been recruiting men based on federal character and rejecting minds that are brilliant and willing to serve the country. Abeg, federal government should make sure the soldier's salaries are payed on time, they are doing a vey good job at fleeing.I guess this is what they are paid to do. 3 Likes |

You guys are really a shame and sincerly you do not deserve to be alive. First of all how slow must you be to still be believing the boko haram propaganda which sahara reporters gives to boko haram free of charge ? In the past sahara reporters reported many army bases as invaded while in reality the terrorists were massacred by gallant Nigerian troops. OK perhaps i can forgive you for being gullible enough to believe sahara lies, but realy, when they say the army admitted soldiers fled, didn't that ring a bell in your empty brains that they were obviously telling a lie ? You guys are a real joke and I doubt you are Nigerians, for your info I am ready to die for Nigeria and my people as well. Give me a rifle and a grenade and put me in the middle of the terrorists, I am going to make a bloody carnage. My country first ! I can't belive these low lifes over here praising terrorists, you guys make me vomit, let nobody say these your rubbish to me in real life because I promise you I would take you down ! Those who insulted Nigerian soldiers in front of me would testify ! 8 Likes |

Austindark:First of all i am not here to educate you, but just this once: First of all you need to know the difference between retreating and fleeing: 1) retreat is the result of an order from an officer to his troops. a retreat is done by a team of soldiers operating in a location, they do iit together in a tactical manner. 2) Flee (that is what happened in Iraq) the soldiers run away from their army, from their orders and in many cases take off their uniforms and throw their guns away. No order to vacate the location was given. In the Nigerian military fleeing is equal to diserting and is punishable by death, hence soldiers who flee don't come back ! A retreat can be ordered for several reaons, for example if the ennemy has surrounded your troops or if you lack ammo, etc... Nowadays people don't want to waste time learning, they just want to be ignorant and proud of that. 4 Likes |
