A Major General in the Nigerian Army, Olusegun Adeniyi has admitted that there has been series of intense attacks from the Boko Haram insurgents in the past days.

In a video that surfaced on social media, the Adeniyi who was on battlefield could be heard saying the insurgents are equipped with the latest ammunitions and they have been countering their attacks on different flanks.

He said:

“We have been met with very strong resistance from Boko Haram since yesterday. They are more than pockets of insurgents. Today morning, and from every flank, not less than 15 gun trunks faced us. The Boko Haram terrorists fired more than 100 RPGs and mortars on us,” Olusegun Adeniyi, a major-general and theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole said in a video.

In the video, Mr. Adeniyi said he and other generals led the Nigerian troops to successfully fight off the insurgents.

“Yet, we are not running or fleeing from them. Me and other generals are on the ground. We are good to go. But this is the true situation of things,” he added.
