Six Nigeria Soldiers Dismissed Over Lack Of Ammunition by ify2016(op): 8:53pm On Jul 27, 2024
The Nigerian Army has reportedly dismissed 6 soldiers from its service for allegedly fleeing from the scene of a Boko Haram att@ck.

SaharaReporters reports that the soldiers attached to the counterinsurgency operation in the North-East, known as Operation Lafiya Dole were said to have fled from the scene of a Boko Haram att@ck around Damboa, a community in Borno during the month.

It was gathered that over 10 soldiers were k+lled during the att@ck. A military source who spoke to SaharaReporters said the 6 soldiers were dismissed for withdrawing from the w@r front.

The source described the puni$hment meted out on his colleagues as not right, arguing that they left the battlefield after running out of ammunition during the fi¥ht with the t£rrorists.

According to the source, sufficient arms & ammunition were not provided for them to fi¥ht Boko Haram t£rrorists; therefore, they soon ran out of ammunition. He also blamed the death of those k+lled on poor firepower & inadequate equipment to combat the insurgents.

I was chatting with my friend last week who is also a soldier fighting boko haram in Borno. You need to see 1980 kala wey dey still dey use to combat insurgency in the North. Guess his monthly salary, just 60k. Imagine fighting with low motivation. Young solders are truly like average Nigeria youth.
God bless all young solders who are suffering the toughest time. May the soul of the fallen heros rest in peace Amen.

Soldiers ain’t got ammunition to face the insurgents despite several billions of naira earmarked as defence budget since 2010.

The monumental fraud and corruption in this country.

I'll rather die planning a coup than die for nothing. Nobody remember someone killed in battle you will remember a coup plotter.

This is utterly bizarre. Are they merely cannon fodder, expected to die helplessly? Without adequate weaponry to counter terrorist attacks in the field, were they supposed to engage the enemy with their bare fists?

There's a thing called retreat, even armed soldiers know when to fall back and regroup to launch a counterattack. Let alone those without sufficient ammunition. As someone astutely put it, perhaps they should return home and do something else with their lives.

Those weak-ass soldiers are lying jhoor, they ran away and emptied their magazines in the bushes before returning back to barrack - we are not moved by their nonsense story.

COWARDS in uniform.

Send them to mere civilian riots and see them galavanting like Field Commandos

So what does Nigeria army want them to do without ammunition......may be they want them to use catapult to fight......yeye people

Why were they not given stones and bricks to face RPG and AK47 carrying terrorists.

Nigeria ARMY has become too useless under civilian rule.

Re: Six Nigeria Soldiers Dismissed Over Lack Of Ammunition by SeeWahala: 8:21am On Jul 28, 2024
This is to me a win win situation for the now dismissed former soldiers. Even if it was a dishonour at least they have their lives intact.

Same cannot be said for their still militarily inclined former colleagues who chose to remain back in the employ of the federal government to fight against terrorism and banditry WITHOUT ADEQUATE AMMUNITION
