Nigerian Army: Near Mutiny Over Gwoza Deaths-sahara Reporters by edoyad(m): 3:43pm On Aug 07, 2014

A group of soldiers who brought back dead and injured soldiers from the besieged town of Gwoza yesterday fired shots at the main gate at Maimalari Barracks, is home to the 7th Division the Nigerian army. Gwoza, located near the border with Cameroon, fell under the control of Islamist insurgents yesterday, the second major town in Borno State to be captured by Boko Haram after the terrorist group seized Damboa on July 21.

Two sources at the barracks told SaharaReporters that the soldiers were angry about the number of dead soldiers’ bodies that had to be deposited at a military hospital in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. They added that the commanding officer of the Bama military unit that was sacked by Boko Haram militants is also missing.

The military hospital attached to Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri received the remains of dead soldiers as well as those with critical injuries who were brought in overnight from Gwoza, a town overrun and seized by Islamist insurgents in a deadly operation early Wednesday. One source said that seven Hilux pick-up vans arrived at the barracks filled with dead bodies and injured soldiers.

Several sources disclosed that Boko Haram fighters had massacred at least 100 residents of the town and inflicted a high casualty on Nigerian troops before the soldiers abandoned the town to the superior firepower of the surging insurgents. Boko Haram blew up two bridges in Gwoza, forcing hordes of displaced residents to flee into Cameroon in search of refuge. The new Emir of Gwoza, Mohammed Timta, remains missing more than 24 hours after the militants seized his town. Cameroonian authorities reported that Boko Haram also killed 10 people in a Cameroonian village near Gwoza...............

edoyad: One source
said that seven Hilux pick-up vans arrived at the
barracks filled with dead bodies and injured
soldiers.
I hope this wasn't exaggerated.
May God help these our soldiers that are putting their lives in line for the peace of this country.
I can't imagine the sort of tension their families undergo.

RIP to the dead heroes.
May God give those still in the fight ideas with which to win this war against boko haram.
