‘We Consider Boko Haram Terrorists As ‘Government Boys’ As Our Superiors Said Our Duty Is To Catch, Not Harm Them’ – Nigerian Soldier In North-East

Some terrorists also boast when they are caught that they know they will not be brought to justice.

One of the Nigerian soldiers fighting in the ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the Northeast has expressed sadness over the recent attack on Kuje prison, during which hundreds of inmates including Boko Haram terrorists escaped.

IS fighters have claimed the June 5 attack on Kuje prison in Abuja. The terrorist group attacked the prison facility with explosives, killing some people and freeing many Boko Haram terrorists.

But according to the soldier who is in Northeast Nigeria fighting Boko Haram terrorists, it costs the Nigerian Army the lives of six to eight soldiers to capture a Boko Haram terrorist alive.

The soldier said they have been ordered not to harm the terrorists caught and that sadly, some of the terrorists caught escape justice at the end of the day.

He said some terrorists also boast when they are caught that they know they will not be brought to justice.

The soldier condemned the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari for forgiving Boko Haram who have terrorised lives, killed, and made people homeless by saying they have repented while dismissing soldiers for fleeing after running out of arms at war front.

According to him, Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram now consider the terrorists as ‘Government Boys’, stressing that when you capture them, you do not have power to do anything to them.

He said in an exclusive interview with SaharaReporters, "Now there's confusion in Maiduguri due to the recent jail break at Kuje prison. It will take the live of 6 - 8 soldiers to capture a single Boko-Haram alive face to face.

"And before they take such Boko Haram member to Abuja, he must be a high-profile terrorist. If not, the Boko Haram would be kept in Maiduguri Barracks guard room. But look at what happened, just overnight these people launched an attack, spent over 2 - 3hrs and videoed everything without any military response and they went away free.

"You will catch a Boko Haram in Maiduguri, you will get an order ‘don't harm him’, and within 24 hours, the person will disappear. And any soldier that tortures them, they will put you into the guardroom and give him IHL, imprisonment with hard labour. They will tell you it is not your duty, your duty is to capture them and you do not have power to do anything to them.

"The sad news now is that, upon the loss of soldiers and equipment, thinking government will do everything to bring these terrorists to book and do the needful. The news we heard is that government has set them free and not only that, they are giving them skill acquisition so that they will be able to fit in into the society. They are saying they have repented.

"Boko Haram who has been terrorising the town, making people homeless, making people lose lives and property. And the government is saying they are being repented. What of the soldiers that ran out of arms that you dismissed? He is now pleading to come back, you said no that they cannot come back again.

"The news of Kuje prison is not a good one, people are not happy about it at all. The soldiers now prefer to capture and kill them, then wait for the consequences.

"We now consider them as ‘Government Boys’, the Boko Haram who only understand minor English will tell you, ‘If you want to kill me, you kill me. If not, when I go, they will leave me’, which is the truth.”

"So, the war is meant for the Generals to enjoy, not for the least of soldiers. You don't have mind to talk, and when you do, you are in trouble. Even though you leave this country, they will still track you, except you will not use handset. Even our allowance,s they keep slashing from it, including station allowances," he added.

No one is suprised because their patron in Aso rock once said that an attack against Boko Haram is an attack against the north. I pity useful idiots of southern extraction still supporting this evil regime.

'We Consider Boko Haram Terrorists As ‘Government Boys’ As Our Superiors Said Our Duty Is To Catch, Not Harm Them’ – Nigerian Soldier In North-East



Let Nigerians see now

The jail break was an arrangements between Buhari and the Boko Bois

Buhari will come after to you that he was "electricuted" on how boko haram get their weapons .

Government of Terrorists sympathizers .

Very sad indeed

its quiet unfortunate that the giant of africa do forgive terriorist and bandits,

sad indeed..

No sensible person can be surprised. Nigeria, since 2015 is dangerously and totally in the hands of muslim terrorists. Who will deliver you oh ye my fatherland Oduduwa Republic?

Beware of radical Islamists on Nairaland. They are hired muslims from mosques to defend APC's Druggie-Terrorist ticket.

Only the gullible does not know they have a strong romance with APC.

I won't be surprised they receive monthly salary from Tinubu.

Let's save Nigeria.

"A fight against boko haram is a fight against the north..."



And someone wants to bring their architect to be his vice, God forbid BAT thing

If you are shocked with this revelation, then you are under the spell of APC/Buhari.

Children whose parents are alive do not suffer.

Any Nigerian surprise about this news, should be captured and tortured severely

Who does not know that Boko Haram is the government and the government is Boko Haram?
After all "a fight against boko haram is a fight against the north" according to president Buhari.

While, "Proscription of Ansaru/Boko Haram is a violation of the constitution" says Lai Mohammed.

Of course they are simply untouchable hence not only are they being granted a fucking undeserving amnesty but also fetted with gifts, send for foreign education and being enlisted into the military.

that is why u guys treat them with kid gloves

I have never heard a member of APC or surpporter of Buhari condemning Boko-Haram the way they condemn separatists and protesters. This is pathetic

Their father wan be Vice President

Lai! Lai! There you have them: "Boko Haram should lay their arms unconditionally, be accepted in the community and rehabilitated. An ex Boko Haram having laid his arms stands to be a president of this country. He stands to aspire to any position in this country.

For how long will Nigeria continue like this? No wonder Boko-Haram nominated Buhari has their spokesperson and intermediary in 2014. And the terr-orists have brazenly defended this government on many occasions.

I'm not the type that give up easily, but naija matter don tire me !

APC under Buhari has killed Nigeria.

Hmmm

I have always blamed those guys in the war front that arrest these guys. Why will you arrest a terrorist just because he surrendered to you because his ammunition finished or something like that... I have been thinking how the military guys that helped arrest those guys that escaped from Kuje are feeling now. And most of the military guys lost one of their friends before those guys were arrested.... The best solution is to kill all these terrorist. There's no need arresting them.... Ayiii.. I wish I was president.... What's the need arresting Terrorists?. Who will give them food when There's shortage of food in the country already

That's One of buhari/apc legacy. buhari will soon start giving Repentant terrorist scholarship to study abroad

It is over official.

Terrorism in Nigeria is promoted by the federal government and backed by the military.
Politicians and military men are cashing out

Shut up
Bring down the government...
Una self be government boys...
Else bring down the nonsense system

Anyone surprised by this statement doesn't know Nigeria. In fact, I believe that most of the Northern politicians are beneficiaries of this terrorism and banditry. That's why I strongly believe that only a southerner can stop terrorism in the north.

Just the way Buhari has been taking the war to IPOB in the East, a president of Southern extraction needs to take the war to the north. Until then, Boko Haram and ISWAP will keep growing in leaps and bounds.

Hmmm

Front page

This has proven all the waste of funds to buy Tucanos was just because of who controls the military using it and not for terrorists.

qwertyboss:

Be calm. What are you saying?

Anybody with a conscience knew that, that prison attack is an arranged work by the government to free those people.

Fact is that this country has been destroyed, Even Peter Obi can not do much to retrieve this country from the satanic grip of Islamist terrorists from futagelon.

The best and only way out is Biafra, Oduduwa, and Niger Delta.

Confedration may also be a solution

It's not your duty their duty is to come to East and massacre a hole village who ever has that APC mark or perfume of APC must not be allowed to enter ISO ROCK, now they have chosen Boko Haram grand Commander using a Southern and if they win they'll do the Abracadabra and VP will take over and by that time all of us go hear wiiiiiii

we all know. Truth is that buhari has destroyed this country.
