Boko Haram Shoots Nigerian Army Brigade Commander Boko Haram militants have shot and injured the acting Brigade commander of 23rd Brigade in Yola. [color=#770077][/color] Colonel Popoola was shot in the shoulder three days ago in the thick of a battle to regain control of Hong and Gombi in Adamawa state from the Islamist militant sect. An army source in Abuja told SaharaReporters that the senior army officer has been evacuated to UCH Ibadan where he is expected to receive better and further treatment in the coming days. Premium Times Several soldiers were reported to have died in the battle. The military source also told SaharaReporters that at least 300 Boko Haram militants have died in the battle. Colonel Popoola reportedly led a new crop of soldiers drafted from Jos into battle against the insurgents in a renewed battle to retake several towns from Boko Haram. The troop was able to recover two armored tanks from the militants after the battle was over. The military claimed to have regained control of towns today in a short tweet. SaharaReporters could not independently verify the claim. Meanwhile, four commanders have been arrested for deserting their troops during the Monday fight that earned Colonel Popoola a bullet to his shoulder. The arrested soldiers include one Lieutenant Mohammed, the QRG commander of 234 battalion; 2nd Lieutenant UC Uche, Platoon commander of Bravo Company of the 234 battalion; Captain Lawal; and Lieutenant Buraji who is Mararaba platoon commander. The four and one other Captain Lawan were led away in handcuffs yesterday and locked up inside the military police guardroom at the 23rd Brigade in Yola Adamawa state.

talktrue1:Read the post again what SR cannot verify is the NA's claim of liberating some towns. What is obvious is that Col Popoola was shot in the fight to regain Hong and Gombi from the insurgents and he is currently receiving treatment at UCH, Ibadan 10 Likes |

enigmang:I Do not trust the NA also * in one instance NA told us that they have recaptured Mubi * in another instance the NA told us that they are still fighting for the control of Hong & Gombi * Hong & Gombi are two towns after Mubi before Yola * How can you claim to have control over a town and at the same time claim to still be fighting for the control of towns preceding the town you have gained control over? 3 Likes |

the Lieutenants and captains are young guys in their early 20s fresh out of the Academy with no live experience in the frontline. The best they have probably experienced would be war simulations with or without live rounds. so when they get drafted to the states under BH control it probably feels new to them and they chicken out. that my take sha 2 Likes |
