Boko Haram Counters Nigerian Army, Releases Pictures of 16 Killed, Abducted Soldiers - SaharaReporters

Militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād, have released pictures of 15 soldiers killed by the group during an ambush on Nigerian soldiers in Monguno, Borno state.

This is contrary to a statement by the Nigerian army that four soldiers died in the attack.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yerima had on Monday said the encounters, which took place on the Tumbus of Lake Chad’s fringes, led to the destruction of the terrorists’ gun trucks and recovery of a large cache of arms and ammunition.

He added that the combined troops of Sector 2 advanced and cleared Daban Massara and Ali Sherifti villages among other settlements before they harboured for replenishment and retrofitting along the axis.

“In the course of the hot pursuit which was aided by air cover provided by the Air Task Team of Operation Lafia Dole, several terrorists were neutralised and their gun trucks destroyed.

“Unfortunately, however, one officer and three gallant soldiers paid the supreme sacrifices while those wounded in action are currently receiving medical attention at 7 Division Medical Services and Hospital in Maimalari Cantonment.

“Above is an on-the-spot account of the encounter between Nigerian troops and the Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Mugono area and environs,” he had said.

But ISWAP in a statement claimed 33 soldiers were killed by the group during the attack.

Attached to the statement were pictures showing about 15 bodies of dead soldiers.

The group also released pictures showing an abducted soldier and vehicles captured from the Nigerian army and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).

Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have killed thousands and displaced millions in northeastern Nigeria.

The Nigerian military has repeatedly claimed that the insurgency has been largely defeated and frequently underplays any losses.

In the past months, soldiers have been targeted by the insurgents.

Hundreds of soldiers and officers have been reportedly killed since January 2021.

At least 33 soldiers were recently killed when two explosive-laden vehicles rammed into a military convoy in Wulgo.

The suicide bombers were identified as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Bana Jundullah. The group also claimed four military vehicles were destroyed.

In February, about 20 soldiers were also killed in Malari, Borno State by the insurgents.

SaharaReporters gathered that the soldiers were on patrol to clear some Boko Haram elements in the area following a credible intelligence when they were ambushed by the group.

What a shame

What a shame for a nation.Lies has a beginning and also has an end.This is how the gruesome deaths of gallant soldiers who fought for nation out of loyalty were being denied.Too bad.So sad! RIP soldiers.Your nation never deserves you.

Where is Lai Mohammed, Femi Adeshina, Garba Shehu and all the zombies? I am happy I never enlist with the 2014 DSSC.

This Buharis leadership can only be sent from hell

Please ndi igbo, resign from the army Biko. Resign now am begging you my brothers, please resign

I knew the Nigerian army were lying, stupid cowards that are only good at killing unarmed protesters...this is just the beginning of your doom if you don't side with the civilians

This is one of the reasons why I don't like the first stanza of the National Anthem.It is full of lies.I will rather chant the second stanza and be hopeful that God in his infinite mercy will guide the nation right!

Under the new COAS, we ve lost more than hundred....

Maybe he wants to break Buratai record

Shame on you Buhari!

Meanwhile It's not commonsensical to blur pictures you posted for us to see. What Nonsense

What does the Nigerian Army gain from lies, everything about them is lies. The only way this stupid war can end is if we split, if we split let the north manage their bandits and Boko haram with their gold money instead of Naija Delta oil money..

read through what you've typed.

Which way Nigeria? So sad

BH seems to be better than Nigerian army in psychological warfare.
Our army also needs to bring out ways to hit the BH psychologically.

Sad sad sad to see young soldiers wasted by a rag-tag militia

The Army need to live to its words of "integrity" and "honour". You can't expect your soldiers be motivated when you deny the truth regarding those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. If they don't acknowledge it how can they even honour the men?
This can only discourage the men at the battle front.
If they keep denying that there are problems (equipment, tactics and strategy, payment and perceived or real corruption) then how can they profer solutions?

Who advises these idiots?

What's with the insane bloodshed

Buhari

Buhari has gifted them gun trucks. The pictures are to thank him. ignore the blood stains on the trucks

Deceitful government!

na wa

One time go reach for this country wey Nigerian Army go begin force people to go buy army form but dem no go ever see single one person wey go try am..

This fight against insurgencies just be like gamble to me....Thank God say I no reason am back then when my enemies dey ginger me to go join army....By now,na only God know how many flowers wey my grave for don grow

What happened to air support that should have fried these guys with hellfire missles?

Oh I forgot it's Fulani run Nigerian government, not Ghana government run by true Ghanaians.

It's either Buhari is managing the bombs that we have or he has outrightly by his body language commanded for the terrorists to be spared since they also are from Fulani dominated Northern Nigeria.
