“Our comrades died because they did not have any bullets. We took bullets to them!”

Earlier sources had described to NewsRescue that soldiers had to “bribe” the armory to get working guns and adequate bullets. The troops who died had a ration of only 30 rounds, as against the minimum 120 rounds for such duty.

Maybe its still better than giving them surplus bullets to be used on the enemies then including innocent civilians and animals.
Next time let them train with fewer bullets.

Junk journalism from the pit of hell. More reason why some countries censor the Internet.

Remember that Boko Haram stole all the bullets in the Nigerian Army amoury (and even shot a music video with the arms and amunitions they got).

Rest in peace to the fallen Soldiers.. Boko Haram caught you guys slipping.
