TROOPS SUFFERS SET BACK IN GASHIGAR

Yesterday at about 5.30pm suspected escaping remnants of Boko Haram terrorists attacked troops location at Gashigar, border area with Niger Republic, northern Borno State. The troops did their best to defend the location in vain.

In the process, 13 soldiers sustained injuries while some are still missing in action.
The week hasn't been good for the fight against terrorism in the sub Saharan region.
The temporary setback made the troops to withdraw from the location.

However, the wounded soldiers have been evacuated and receiving treatment, while efforts are ongoing in search of those missing and clear the Boko Haram terrorists at the general area.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

TROOPS AVERTS ANOTHER SUICIDE BOMBING IN GWOZA

Today, Thursday 6th October 2016, at about 12.25pm, 3 female suicide bombers attempted to attack a military location at Gwoza, Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State.

The suicide bombers who came through Pulka axis were sighted by members of vigilante from a distance and alerted the troops about the impending catastrophe. The very observant vigilante also noted that the women looked suspicious; walking awkwardly with bulging hijab and distinct from other female farmers.

When the suicide bombers noticed that they were being observed, they hurriedly ran towards troops aiming to detonate it on them. The troops neutralized 2 of the female suicide bombers, while the other ran back into the bush but was pursued. Unfortunately, a soldier sustained injuries due to the impact of the explosion. The wounded soldier is currently receiving treatment at a military medical centre and he is in stable condition.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Definitely a lot would av changed frm the normal conventional warfare thought in NDA, considering the CION we r fighting presently.

In addition to what you've said, it is also because we don't have a defence industry yet. Those companies that supply the Nigerian military are under the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria or the Automobile Manufacturers Association or the Nigerian Shipbuilders Association.


Until some of these companies are big enough to form an industry, we would continue to see the military dabbling into defence manufacturing. Which would continue to be counter-productive.

The NN of recent signed a MOU with the Indian navy on technology transfer on building ships, which I believe in recent will see development in recent ships that are to be built in nigeria.

My question is why is the army lacking behind.....?
