How do you think Nigeria managed a group that was said to be more deadly than Taliban few years ago?

Terrorist gets more powerful if they are not properly managed and their power and influence reduces if properly managed.

Today Talibans are suddenly more powerful than almost every terrorist group.

Military releases 1,009 ex-Boko Haram fighters to Borno govt



https://punchng.com/military-releases-1009-ex-boko-haram-fighters-to-borno/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1626327812

REPORTS ON RELEASE OF BOKO HARAM FIGHTERS IN BORNO FALSE

The Nigerian Army (NA) has been notified of a media publication alleging that the NA has handed over 1009 Ex-Boko Haram fighters to Borno State government. The report also alleged that the event was shrouded in secrecy. This report, is obviously one of those attempts to dampen troops' morale and denegrate the NA, riding on the back of unsubstantiated report and misinformation.

While the NA would not want to join issues with the masterminds of this false narrative, it is important to set the records straight.

It is an indisputable fact that the ongoing Counter Terrorism Counter Insurgency Operations (CTCOIN) in the North East has led to the arrest of several terrorism/insurgency suspects. These suspects have been held in custody, while undergoing profiling and further investigations by experts from the Joint Investigation Centre (JIC) and those who are found culpable are usually handed over to prosecuting agencies accordingly, while those who are not implicated in terrorism and insurgency are cleared and released to the state government for rehabilitation before they are reintegrated into the society. These cleared suspects are therefore not ex Boko Haram fighters, as peddled in the said online report and as the masterminds would want to impress on the public. A total of 1009 cleared suspects, not ex fighters, were therefore released after this rigorous process on Wednesday 14 July 2021. It is also necessary to categorically state that the handing over of the cleared suspects was not shrouded in secrecy as it was witnessed by United Nations Humanitarian and government agencies, in tandem with global best practice.

The NA therefore urges the general public to discountenance this misinformation, as it is evidently a manipulation and distortion of the truth and reality of the event.

NewDelhi:

Should I start bring numerous videos of BHT capturing Nigerian soldiers and officers ?

You might want to show us where BHT captured Nigerian soldiers en masse like happened with the Ethiopian army in Tigray.

I hope you know the meaning of the word en masse? Pls look it up before you answer I'm not won't to add that to your education. Some of you pained folks are so s.ick upstairs with hatred of Nigeria that you even deny things that are self evident with the world as witness.

And let me add capturing one Nigerian soldier is not a common feat. By Nigerian military indoctrination most commanders would rather die with their men or make a tactical withdrawal to fight another day which you bet is written in stone which must and always happens than to be captured alive for enemy propaganda. You attack us we are coming back stronger not capitulating in defeat like the Ethiopian Army.

Does it happen betimes, yes! But in the fog of war. But when compared with other african militaries it is highly rare to see a captured Nigerian soldier talk less of an officer. Please where did you see a Nigerian Army officer captured? At least in the numbers you insinuate, you must be a joke. You might show us the Air Force officer shot down many years ago but how bravely did he take his death with honor no flinching, and how many others either crashed or got shot down but rather chose to perish with their aircrafts than be captured alive. Pls spare us your false tirade.

And stop insulting us with Ethiopia that depends on aid to fund its budget and feed its people suffering from famine and whose soldiers barely have body armour or kit like a basic infantry soldier of the Nigerian Army which are arguably the best kitted in Africa.

Don't forget Iblawi prior 2014 BHT was considered the deadliest terrorist group.

And yet we have pushed them to a corner of Nigeria and neighboring countries so extreme a majority of the Nigerian people don't even know what's going on daily in the North-East.

The Talibans have more access to finance, where they can train and operate from etc.

Ethiopian couldn't defeat the Tigrayan army, see as people dey downgrade the Ethiopian army, Nigeria is also struggling against terrorists in her backyard for more than 10 years, but una go wail if them talk say the Nigerian army is incompetent.

Some people don dey wail about looting in SA, while bandits and Fulani heardsmen are busy raising down villages and killing people here in Nigeria.

For more than a week now, the DSS said they have found weapons in Sunday Igboho house, still yet, they haven't charge him to court... Nigeria is one of the few countries this kind of yama yama fit happen

Well sha, anyhow sha. The Talibans can't survive for up to a week in any US territory. ISIS can't survive for a week in any part of America.

Only in failing countries do terrorists hold sway. ISWAP spread to Borno south in our eyes, and even killed Shekarau, but una dey tell me for here say dey are defeated... It seems some of you here are comedians, a terrorist group that is defeated shouldn't be able to expand their territory

The Nigerien and chandian militart are not as powerful as the Nigerian military, what is stopping ISWAP to capture Niamey or N'Djamina? Even Somalia that is a yama yama country, the terrorists there do not currently have the capability to attack and take over the country capital... But una want make we dey dance for here because ISWAP is not in Abuja

NewDelhi:
So you deserve to be captured and red-hot metal rod forced up your ass for that statement of yours.

I take it with honor as a combatant but first you have to capture me alive which I promise you will be in the reverse order and when I capture you the things that will be done to you cannot be stated on Nairaland but I can assure you that death will be the easiest path for you because you will be begging to die but even death will be elusive from you while you're begging for it.

You asked me a question once, I replied you and you didn't say anything. Hope you read the reply from someone else about how I knew more than 100 people have been killed by terrorist?

I think this is just the first munition procurement that comes with the aircraft, subsequent procurement would be done has time goes on. Although am a little bit disappointed in the initial purchase of munitions for the Tucanos.
We need more of the precision guided munitions for these boko's, we have to send a strong message out there has soon as these birds starts flying.

You guys are making it sound as if ISWAP have been defeated

The Taliban can't be compared to Boko Haram, compare Alqaeda to Boko Haram not the

I no get strength for argument jawe. I won't be shock if AskiaHarem say the Nigerian army will defeat the taliban's in Afghanistan

you seem to forget not too long ago your glorified USA designated Boko haram deadliest world terror group above alqaeda and Taliban.

So please stop looking down on the Nigerian military, with what they have since inception they have never dissapointed and am certain won't disappoint weda Boko or bandits or ESN etc
