The Nigerian Army has pointed out its major hindrance in defeating Boko Haram insurgents in the North East, boasting that it can defeat the insurgents in 15 minutes if they are provided the necessary logistics.


Maj. Gen. Olusegun Adeniyi, Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole disclosed that lack of Army Aviation was responsible for its inability to defeat the insurgents.


He made the disclosure while receiving the National Assembly joint committee on Army in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, yesterday.


Adeniyi said Boko Haram has never been a “formidable force” as they are perceived to be.


He said: “The only thing that needs to be given to the army now is Nigeria Army Aviation.


“There is a way you solve a problem that will change the game. The army needs combat helicopters to end the Boko Haram war. If we have it, it will not be deployed like air force assets, air force jets which are for bigger strategic goals.


“These helicopters will sleep with us in the trenches, they will be with us in the frontline. These helicopters and the rifles are dispatched together.


“I know this has been on the table for years. When this is done, Nigeria can forget about Boko Haram.


“Let me say Boko Haram is not a formidable force, Boko Haram is not strong; Boko Haram cannot sustain 15 minutes of intensive firing. I personally exchange with Boko Haram in Marte, in Delta, in Gubio as deputy theatre commander and as theatre commander.


“Please go and tell Abuja that Boko Haram is not a formidable force that the military cannot defeat.”

Guess it's the same BH that the army have technically defeated, terribly downgraded, rendered incapacitated to carry out major attack or using the Nigerian army as soft targets? This one is simply smarting out from the effect of Oshogbo weed.Shekau laughing in BH

Hmmm

So they are no longer technically defeated? Now it's 15 minutes you go take to defeat them. So whose job is it to provide the necessary logistics?

This man has either been in Dubai buying houses or in Abuja building estates.
Helicopters that they already have and reportedly used to deliver arms and provisions to the terrorists. Logistics and weapons they hand over to the terrorist in the name of being overrun or.retreating.
The problem is there is no will by the top brass to end this war. There are enemies within.
If it was their son's or relatives being sent to the war front the war would have ended since.

Liar they are looking for money to embezzle. Even if you are given the aviation the insurgent would still be last for the 30years after defeat.

Even you too also disagree right? First time you will make sense.

Stop lying oga..

quite hilarious but he might be right in some ways ..Imagine if Buhari used the 1 billion dollars he was given last year to buy 3 squadrons of Tandem seater attack helicopters ( 3 squadron is 48 helicopters ) and 100 T -14 Armata Main Battle tanks trust the Nigerian Army will March out Boko Haram out of Nigeria in 6 weeks . I have a military offensive strategy I have developed called "Pegasus" for routing and destroying Toyota guerillas . It requires a synchronized blitz offensive by attack Helicopters , light armor and brutal special forces .

Yes oo, by giving 89% of its 2020 budget on recurrent expenditure...

I used to have huge respect for men on uniform like the army but since this man become oga at the top, after his snake charming show of shame, my respect for them has reduced a lot.

I have been reading his speeches from the time of his appointment, I don't know if he was among those that receive promotions due to quota system cos the man I see there don't talk like a general at all.

New stories every day

I thought BH is already defeated ?

What happened to the $1billion borrowed by Buhari for the purpose of buying arms and ammunition.
What other logistics is this man talking about?

Boko Haram is being sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Nigeria doesn't have the kind of resources needed to fight them. Just create a caliphate for them and let them go.

Do you think I'm follow blindly. I'm not like you that your criticism always based on hatred and tribalism.

words like this ridicules not only Nigerian army but Nigeria as a whole

If I am their PRO, I won't even allow such words get out

I mean, no LOGISTICS No AVIATION

Coming from a government that claimed that Bokoharam have been technically defeated

So who's to be blamed after ALL THE HUGE ANNUAL BUDGET ALLOCATIONS since 2015

Go and tell Abuja who will go and tell ABUJA

You can harm harmless, protesting civilians with helicopter and sophisticated war guns but you cannot defeat ordinary LESS FORMIDABLE BOKOHARAM

Go around the world ARMIES that means business, don't do the TALK, they WALK the WALK!!!

It's disappointing, armies are known for combats not market talks!!!

The rag tag BOKO HARAM doesn't even have all the modern military equipments both the army and airforce have and yet they are killing naija army like chickens,the war has lasted over 10yrs na story naija army still day talk

sharrap....

the thing with boko is,they can retreat over borders and reorganise and attack again....

soo,what do you still need....??

nuclear rockets to defeat boko....??
