No doubt these guys are doing a great job with what they have, but i kinda find it weird each time i read about terrorists escaping with gunshot wounds.
Escape where and why wasn't there any chase? An injured terrorist that escape today is gonna be active in the field tomorrow. Why allow these constant escapes, not saying any of this is easy, but you laid an ambush, and yet there were escape routes for the enemy? who might actually be on foot or motorcycle?

TROOPS CHASE SUSPECTED BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS

This evening, there was an attempted attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorist who came with Person Borne Improvised Explosives Devices (PIED) and gun trucks to steal foodstuff and also attack troops around Molai area, outskirts of Maiduguri, but met stiff resistance fm troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE who repelled them and secured the community. No lost of lives to own troops and normalcy has since been restored. Meanwhile troops have been on the trail of the remnants of the terrorists. Unfortunately, during their retreat, they set two vehicles on fire and some thatched houses at the outskirts of the city gate. Both ground troops and the Nigerian Air Force are on hot pursuit and interdicting the fleeing terrorists that are now in disarray.

ARMY HIERARCHY CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS WITH TROOPS IN GWOZA AND BUNI YADI

As has been the tradition, the hierarchy of the Nigerian Army is celebrating this year's yuletide period with troops in the field. This time around, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai, represented by the Chief of Administration (Army), Major General IM Alkali, Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major General NE Angbazo, Theatre Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General RI Nicholas, General Officer Commanding 7 Division and Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General SK Usman, along with some of the Principal Staff Officers at Headquarters 7 Division and field commanders are celebrating the 2017 Christmas with the gallant troops of 26 Task Force Brigade, Operation LAFIYA DOLE.
The venue for the celebration is the Headquarters complex of 26 Task Force Brigade, Gwoza in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
The celebration of the Christmas with the troops apart from boosting troops morale, affords an opportunity to meet and celebrate the season of Christmas (love) amongst them in order to foster espirit-de- corps.
Similarly, the Chief of Training and Operations (Army), Major General DD Ahmadu led another team to Headquarters 27 Task Force Brigade, Buni Yadi, Yobe State, where they celebrated the Christmas with the troops.

And you chase them into their den.......

That would be somehow dangerous they would have radio in there base that they suffered an heavy attack and they would be coming in hot, any attempt to chase them back would result to an ambush.

I think the best solution is to av an eye in the sky, followed by air bombardment or a coordinated ground attack there after.

And most of these wounded BHT die thereafter. I think sometimes last year a grave of BHT was discovered at there camp and a video that surfaced showing dead and wounded terrorist fighters and the back of their vehicles.

lionel4power:
My own question is how do they (NA) distinguish between BHT elements and a regular "Joe' whose just at the wrong place at the wrong time?

Looking at the pictures above this comment you'll see that the dead guy could easily be a 'mere" herdsman.

Don't forget just last week ;"RESS RELEASE
167 INSURGENTS CAPTURED AS TROOPS INTENSIFY OPERATIONS IN LAKE CHAD ISLANDS
delivered a blow to BHT" & "TROOPS INFLICT HEAVY CASUALTY ON BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS AS THEY ABANDON VEHICLES, ARMS AND EQUIPMENT"-recovering and altering numbers of weapons vehicles, hostages and BHT.

Now the question you would av asked is how do they differentiate between BHT and hostage. Dont forget the NA is fivhting hand in hand with the locals who understand the terrain, who is who, where is from ? and rhey can even tell if someone is Hausa or Kanuri, chadian or Niger by there look.

The NA is a professional Army and has come of age in their tactics employed in fivhting terrorism.

One last thing if you are not a terrorist or bandit what will you be doing or how will you survive in that evil forest.

PRESS RELEASE
NIGERIAN AIR FORCE INTENSIFIES AIR OPERATIONS IN NORTHEAST, NEUTRALIZES SCORES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS IN TUMBUM RAGO, BOGUMERI

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its air operations in Northeastern Nigeria and in the process, neutralized scores of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) in TUMBUN RAGO, a settlement at the northern fringes of BORNO State bordering Lake Chad. During a routine Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission on 20 December 2017, a NAF ISR platform sighted BHT activities at TUMBUN RAGO, occupied by Albarnawi faction. Accordingly, fighter aircraft and helicopters were detailed for air interdiction over the location on 21 December 2017. The fighter aircraft took turns to unleash their armament on the location. Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) of the attacks revealed that the targeted BHT structures were destroyed, causing fire within the location and neutralizing scores of insurgents in the process. Thereafter, the recently acquired helicopter gunships carried out mop-up attacks on a few fleeing insurgents. Furthermore, the following day, on 22 December 2017, the NAF neutralized a large gathering of BHTs Southeast of BOGUMERI, also in BORNO State, after a convoy of BHTs on motorcycles had been trailed to the location. The intensification of air operations by the NAF is aimed at further reducing the will of the BHTs to continue their nefarious activities while also creating the needed advantage for own surface forces to effectively operate.
