On the evening of Monday 23rd, March 2020 more than forty of Nigeria troops were killed in a Boko Haram ambushed in the Gorgi village of Borno State. A town at the border with Chad close to the Lake Chad.
The Boko Haram terrorist attacked the Nigerian troops who were traveling for a clearance operation at the border of lake Chad peninsular following intel that the insurgent might have set up camps after Chadian forces were attacked the early hours of Monday.


Nigerian troops came under heavy fire from the Boko Haram terrorist who attacked the troops with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy weapons, bringing death upon more than forty soldiers of the Nigeria Army.

The question remains how come the terrorists were able to have the upper hand against the Nigeria Army. Here is are feasible reasons.

1. The Insurgent have earlier that day attacked a Chadian force station at Boma village in the Lake Chad peninsular carting away a large number of weapons. The Boko Haram terrorists were well prepared and armed.


In the last 48 hours before the ambush, Boko Haram has added to its arsenal one 40 barrelled rocket artillery, a dozen 102mm howitzers and huge caches of munitions.


These stolen weapons somehow come in handy for Boko Haram. And they were able to decimate the Nigerian troops and causing death to Innocent soldiers.

2. The second reason was the vehicles of operation the Nigerian troops were traveling in. They were traveling in a convoy of the open gun truck and Toyota Hilux van which offers no cover and protection against heavy fire from the Boko Haram terrorists.

These trucks were also used as transport vehicles for grenades and heavy ammunition, which makes them easy targets.

The life of our troops has continued to be useful to cover up corruption in the military top echelon. Why would a military fighting a non-conventional, hit and run enemy continue to expose its troops to heavy fire? When MRAP's would have been the better option that could offer cover from heavy fire and can also provide speed to pursue the enemy.

3. The conspiracy that external powers are behind the Boko Haram terrorist. The fact that the Boko Haram terrorists were able to attack the Chadian force for more than 6 hours undisturbed and also carting away a large cache of ammunition brings a clause to bear.

Chad and Niger both house a French and American airbases which have in their arsenals deployable drones and aircraft that can arrive at the scene within minutes. Yet the Chadian troops were overwhelmed and weapon caches stole.

The same French force that was able to decimate rebel groups from Libya en-route northern Chad In February, when fighter jets of France Rafale decimated the rebels halfway, yet Boko Haram attack a Chadian force for more than 6 hours and escape.

Conclusion
It is high time the Nigerian government needs to look at the Boko Haram problem holistically. The well-being and safety of our troops are paramount, as such government should invest in MRAPs, which are more suitable for non-conventional warfare like the one currently going on in the Northeast.

I don't want to go into the truth because they will say it's conspiracy. The Globalists are in cohorts with some people in Nigeria. Because of some agendas. If I mention it they will say it's conspiracy.

Wonder why the Globalist Cartels don't want Bernie as president

Too bad

29 soldiers were killed not 40

boko haram succeeded in killing 40 NA personnel because the NA's incompetence.
a competent army would...
1. use MRAP or APCs to convey troops to the front
2. always chart or map out their routes before hand.
3. always use rangers for recognizance missions and route surveillance.
but with all aspects of naija life except sports, all are filled with incompetent people.

Soldiers lives are meaningless to naija leaders

iamDrRhymes:
29 soldiers were killed not 40

90 soldiers were killed and not 29 or 40.

This hurts me badly.

Buhari sef

Boko haram have informants and sympathisers amongs the soldiers. I once read where a soldier said when they were killing boko haram fighters, the muslims among the soldiers were cautioning them to tone down.
