A gallant soldier identified as Julius was among the casualties killed during a Boko Haram ambush yesterday in Yobe state. According to the Nigerian army in a press statement issued by Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, the deputy director public relations (Theatre Command Operation Lafiya Dole), the troops encountered the ambush yesterday at about 12.30 noon, along Sasawa Road in Babbangida, Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe state.

The attack occurred during a fighting patrol to clear the general area of fleeing elements of Boko Haram insurgents who have been on rampage for food and logistics.

The gallant troops overpowered and neutralized the insurgents in the fire fight that ensued and successfully extricated themselves from the ambush.

Information have so far confirmed that the insurgents whose original mission was to attack and loot the near by Babangida market for food and other logistics, aborted the mission to stage the ambush on getting wind of the troops patrol. Sadly, while fighting through the ambush, the troops recorded some casualties.

These guys just died for Nigeria!!!
God rest their souls. These politicians will need to join these soldiers in the war front cos they brought us to this tipping point for their selfish benefits. The worst part of it is that the killing, stealing, forgery and all the bad bad things continue unabated without hope. Getting a visa out of this shithole will not be a bad idea.

And the Nigerian troops continue to die in a self-inflicted war that the top shots continue to lace with lies and propaganda.RIP soldier & others who have gone before. You sacrificed your all.

So sad!...

May their souls rest in peace, Amen!

Wasted life

So sorry that this young lad died for nothing, So SAD
