Xbee007:

The Nigerian Army had already downplayed the incident on their Twitter handle claiming several terrorists were also killed with many injured.

Seriously, I don't get why NA keeps behaving like some bunch of pathological liars.

Look like they hit a landmine in the first picture. Pic 2 is a military gun truck.

They threw a grenade on the 1st car, then used and RPG on the second and the third car they burnt it. Although it was not fully burnt and the Military later towed it to Monguno.

but as regards to inflicting injuries on BH, That is the biggest Lie ever

This is the MOD, Bashir Magashi's first operational visit. He meets with troops in Gubio, and says their operational/welfare/admin needs will be addressed and improved.
All eyes are on the new MOD now, to see how much, how well, he will steer the affairs the military to improve security in the Northeast.

only God knows the fate of the soldiers in the vehicles.

Would've been his 33rd birthday, September 2nd. May Allah elevate him to the highest ranks in Jannah, Bello Baba-Ari. R.I.P.

Vikkie14:
Too bad. But one thing is this, no military will say the actual number of casualties, not even the police.
But there's no decisive blow dealt by the force this time around.

Vikkie14:
No way those hit by the RPG would have survived the onslaught.

When will they listen to voices of reasoning all these years? It was this same issue of negligence and absolute irresponsibility of the top brass that made Beeg to desert his blog and made some of us went AWOL from the threads here.

What will it cost them to procure HALE and MALE UCAVs/UAVs to recon those flashpoints before troop patrol? Tens of LSHs abound that can be fitted with rocket pods, provide CAS for patrolling troops and scout the areas for contact.
Just wasting troop lives and resources.

Hello! Do you know what happened to Beegeagles? Is he active on Nairaland?

Vikkie14:
He's hale and hearty. Nope, he's only active on his blog official Twitter handle.

GabrielYulaw:


What happened to him? Always dreamt of being a fighter pilot but it didn't work out

GabrielYulaw:


Just curious, the guy looking under the truck with a mirror, is he foolish or what? What if the driver of the truck was a suicide bomber and sets off his load once the soldier is within range?

bidex111:



Just imagine if these guys where in MRAP's, the worst that would have happened is to fight there way through the ambush.
Despite fighting with skinny hilux vehicles; they still manage to inflict injuries on the enemy. Our military authority has to work on our Base defences and proper protection for military vehicles.

That Magashi guy looks more confused than the COAS.

second hand humvees would not solve the ambush problems. We need proper MRAP and IFV.
Enough with handouts
