AFP Or Nigerian Army? Who Lied About The 30 Military Men Killed By Boko Haram?. by KingOfAmebo(m): 6:56am On Sep 03, 2018 |
There was a recent report that at least 30 Nigerian soldiers died in combat with Boko Haram jihadists who overran a military base in the northeast near the border with Niger, two military sources told AFP on Saturday. They came in large numbers in trucks and carrying heavy weapons and engaged soldiers in a battle that lasted for an hour,” a military officer said. “We lost at least 30 men,” the officer said, adding that the attack took place at around 4:00 pm. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/30-nigerian-soldiers-killed-in-boko-haram-raid/ FOREIGN MEDIA COVERAGE Subsequently, the news was also reported on foreign media outlets such as: Reuters https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nigeria-security/islamists-in-northeast-nigeria-kill-up-to-30-soldiers-sources-idUSKCN1LH3U1?il=0 Aljazeera https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/09/nigerian-soldiers-killed-boko-haram-army-base-raid-180901141047508.html Daily Mail Uk http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-6121655/30-Nigerian-soldiers-killed-Boko-Haram-raid-military-sources.html VOA https://www.voanews.com/a/sources-islamists-in-northeast-nigeria-kill-up-to-30-soldiers/4554322.html PressTV https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/09/02/572930/Nigeria-Boko-Haram-Takfiri-Militants-Borno France24 https://m.france24.com/en/20180901-30-nigerian-soldiers-killed-boko-haram-raid-military-sources MILITARY DENIAL However, less than twenty-four hours later the military denied the report. REPORTS emerged yesterday that at least 30 soldiers were killed during a battle with suspected Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State. The report carried by an international news agency, Agence France Presse, AFP, has been countered by the Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole. The report had claimed that troops deployed in Zari town, Guzamali Local Government Area of the state, came under attack on Thursday, leading to the ugly development. Reacting to the report in a telephone interview, spokesman for Theatre Command, Operation Lafiya Dole, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, while confirming the attack, denied that the Army suffered casualties. According Colonel Nwachukwu, contrary to the report, several of the terrorists were killed by the military troops just as he said the terrorists’ equipment were captured. Hear him: “That information is not correct. It’s true that we had an encounter with Boko Haram at a location called Zari. The Boko Haram came to attack that community, and our troops deployed few kilometres away from the location, countered the attack. “The ground troops were supported by the Air Task Force, and several Boko Haram Terrorists were killed, and we also destroyed many of their equipment, weapons. "On our side, I’m yet to receive casualty figure on my desk, if there was any. So, I cannot confirm that we had (any) and I think it’s very untrue for anyone to (say we had that casualty figure).” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/30-killed-soldiers-not-true-theatre-command/ WHO IS AFP? The news agency that first reported the news is Agence France-Presse (AFP) an international news agency founded in 1835, AFP is the third largest news agency in the world, after the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agence_France-Presse --WHO DO WE BELIEVE? --IF THE REPORTS WERE TRUE, WHAT IS THE NIGERIAN ARMY HIDING? --WHY THE COVER UP? 11 Likes 1 Share

Nigerian soldiers are being sacrificed on the alter of negligence, incompetence and willful sabotage by the Buhari led administration. A government who is willing to lie that none of her soldiers were killed when these same soldiers are being killed daily is indirectly empowering the terrorists. Someone in buhari's government whispers to bokoharam, 'The soldiers are at that T-Junction, you guys can go and attack now. Don't worry we'will cover up and lied nothing happened." This is how the blood of innocent people have been killed with approval from buhari. If buhari stays beyond 2019, this country might not recover after. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Fraudgeria Army is the father of lies. They're doing fake python dance in Owerri, arresting unarmed Igbo women while Boko Haram is mowing down civilian and non civilian in Northern Nigeria for fun. This same Fraudgerian Army told us that a truck Laden with weapons ran into Nnamdi Kanu's compound and that's why they killed over 200 Igbo youths in Aba and Umuahia this time last year. Only zombies can believe Shitgeria government and Shitgeria army 11 Likes 2 Shares
