Nigerian Army Dismisses Soldier For Allegedly Leaking Video Of Deadly Boko Haram IED Attack In Borno

The Nigerian Army has dismissed at least one soldier for allegedly leaking information, including video evidence, related to a recent deadly improvised explosive device (IED) attack by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State, SaharaReporters has learned.

Top military sources told SaharaReporters that the dismissal followed the leakage of a video recorded after the IED explosion that killed several soldiers near Gubio, Borno State.

One of the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the punitive action, saying, “Do you believe that our troops that stepped on IED two weeks ago, the soldier that recorded the video has been dismissed from the service.”

The source further explained the military’s stance on internal disclosures, adding, “You know the problem, if they find out that you’re leaking their secret, the next thing is to dismiss you.”

A photograph obtained by SaharaReporters shows the dismissed soldier displaying a placard with the inscription:

The dismissed soldier was identified as Mansur Adamu, with number 22NA/82/3795 PTE.

On Monday, January 12, SaharaReporters reported that no fewer than nine Nigerian soldiers had been killed following an explosion involving IEDs planted by Boko Haram insurgents near Gubio in Borno State.

A top military source disclosed details of the incident to SaharaReporters during an exclusive interview, confirming that investigations showed the explosives were planted by Boko Haram.

According to the source, the soldiers were travelling from Maiduguri town when the incident occurred.

The military source further confirmed that several soldiers sustained serious injuries, with deaths recorded after the initial blast.

“Eight died yesterday (Sunday) among those who sustained injuries while one just died this morning,” the source told SaharaReporters after the blast.

Clarifying the nature of the attack, the source stressed that it was not a gun ambush.

“The incident happened at Gubio, not ambush, it was caused by explosive devices,” he said.

He added that casualties were high, noting that “many sustain serious injury,” while confirming that “nine people were confirmed dead already.”

Further details revealed that the affected soldiers were from “145 Damasak under 5 Brigade Maiduguri, Borno State.”

Video and photographs obtained by SaharaReporters captured the aftermath of the explosion, showing several Nigerian Army personnel lying motionless at the scene, underscoring the devastating impact of the blast.

After they will lie that they killed millions of terrorists by the superior firepower of the military. Tinubu's unpopular regime is only interested in propaganda, not in reality.

It appears joining the Nigerian Military is now signing death warrant. It appears that this lobbying is a reality. Meaning that they are now planning to mislead the USA with fake narratives on the terrorism.
The USA should not accept any proposal nor work with the Nigerian security unless the terrorist sympathizers and influencers in the Nigerian government are relieved of their duties. People like Ribadu and Matawalle must be shown the way out of the system. Unfortunately, it was this same Ribadu that led the team to the USA.

Yes, the soldier had no orders to do that and got what the establishment established as discipline. But, when will the Army fish out fifth columnists in their midst who aid and abbet the terrorists through information and logistics?

In most security operations,certain information are classified for the sake of national security.I am not holding brief for the army but I think that releasing such videos to the public may dampen the spirit of our soldiers in the battle field and embolden the terrorists....my humble opinion.

Nigerian Army dey move like confraternity sometimes.

Is there an oath of secrecy that the public should not be aware of something like this?

If not that they intend to do propaganda to fit into Tinubu narrative, why would this warrant dismissal.

Soldier that assaulted a medical doctor weeks ago, no action has been taken so far
