Three soldiers and 123 Boko Haram militants were killed when the Islamist group attacked a Chadian army contingent in northern Cameroon, the Chadian military said.

Twelve soldiers were wounded in the attacks staged by the Islamists on Thursday and Friday near the border town of Fotokol, according to a military statement read out on national television.

Chad sent a convoy of troops and military vehicles into neighbouring Cameroon on January 17 to deal with the growing threat Boko Haram poses in the region.

"The enemy was repelled by our defensive forces," the general staff's statement said, adding that the troops had "routed" the Islamists in the second attack.

The soldiers were killed by improvised explosive devices, the statement said.

A senior Cameroonian security source said the Chadian troops were deployed to the town, which sits opposite a Nigerian town under Boko Haram control and is also close to the border with Chad, on Wednesday.

Boko Haram frequently stages attacks on Fotokol from their base in the Nigerian town of Gamboru, which is just 500 metres (yards) away.

Chad has called on countries in the region to form a broad coalition in the fight against the Islamist group. The country has already deployed its army along its borders as well as sending the additional contingent to Cameroon.

Chad's president Idriss Deby has also expressed intentions of taking back the strategic Nigerian town of Baga from Boko Haram, situated on Lake Chad.

The African Union called on Friday for a regional five-nation force of 7,500 troops to defeat the "horrendous" rise of Boko Haram.

"Terrorism, in particular the brutality of Boko Haram against our people, (is) a threat to our collective safety, security and development. This has now spread to the region beyond Nigeria and requires a collective, effective and decisive response," AU commission chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said in a speech opening the summit.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told African leaders that Boko Haram was "a clear danger to national, regional and international peace and security".

The group's uprising has become a regional crisis, with the four directly affected countries -- Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria -- agreeing along with Benin to boost cooperation to contain the threat and to form a Multinational Joint Task Force.

More than 13,000 people have been killed and more than one million made homeless by Boko Haram violence since 2009.

Guess Shekau is pushing his luck and infamous power too far, believing the Chadian Army is as useless as the Nigerian Army that run away from the battlefield.

Hear a foreign President talking about claiming a territory of Nigeria from Terrorists while our own so called Largest and Most Budgetary Allocated Army run between their legs leaving their arms and armoury to ragtag boys.

Chad's president Idriss Deby has also expressed intentions of taking back the strategic Nigerian town of Baga from Boko Haram, situated on Lake Chad

It is a shame what JonaTAN has turn Nigeria into, with the large scale corruption in the Military and TOMPOLO buying WARSHIPS for the NIGERIAN NAVY and some dullheads are saying HE SHOULD CONTINUE...

Bokoharrams ur days r numbered

Lets vote in chads president on febuary14

More strength to your elbows chadians. Half and most of the Nigerian army is Boko haram

There is more to this Boko Haram than what meets the eye...The presidency cannot deny the fact that they know ATLEAST one BH Financer

don't quote my mention please if you have nothing worthwhile to contribute.

Do you even think of the implication for our National Security that a ragtag boys are sending our Army into confusion despite the wealth of Nigeria and budgetary allocation to defence in the last 5 years.

Chad is raising flags across the territory of your Country and you're stupidly talking of blackmail. Do you think the Chadian Army will be an easy pushover to ease them out of Nigeria when Boko Haram is dealt with by them.

Chad had design over those places it is now claiming over 30years ago and it took the military tactical intelligence of Buhari to purge them of Nigeria back then as an ordinary GOC.

If we cant pursue Boko Haram, can we face the Chadians presently with the chaos within the Army and total collapse of Command Structures unmotivated Infantry Officers, No functional AIrforce, No commandoes and you're stupidly talking of Blackmail.

Are you ordinarily stupid or it comes on weekends?

RIP to D brave soldiers..

why not foolishly take those your answers to the Presidency and the DSS. they will most likely need them than me.

ignorant people like you who lack basic understanding of Military operations assume all is well because some daft commentators spew rubbish that you foolishly assume is the reality.

For Chad to raise its National Flag on Nigerian Territory signify a new low for the Nigerian Army. All our neighbours will see the Nigerian Army as an assemblage of foolish and jobless youths who joined up to make ends meet and hence lack tactical military manuovers except for running away in the face of attack. No Military worth its name runaway from TERRORIST advance.

Russia lost over 500,000 soldiers to the German Advance during the 2nd world war but they never backed down.

Same Boko Haram that your soldiers are running from are being diminished by a more competent and motivated ARMY.

Shame on JONATAN and shame on the Nigerian Military Leadership, shame on the DSS, Shame on the Minister of Defence, shame on the National Security Adviser.

The Russians never backed down even when faced with death and defeat, they never back down,,The siege of stanlingrad is a good example ....Love for motherland and Country prevails when faced with Death , Patriotism becomes the most dangerous weapon.
How did Nigeria get here?

The field of stanlingrad remains one of the bloodiest in human warfare in modern times. Officers and Men driven by the love of Motherland defended with bare hands and claws to never go down even when they knew the Germans were more in number and better equipped but they stood their grounds and never retreated. Even when there was rumour of retreat command the soldiers never obeyed but fought on.

we've heard Boko Haram is well equipped but then we see videos of Boko Haram getting its supplies from the Nigerian Army Armoury.

How can you give your tools to your enemy and then turn around to say he is better equipped than you who owned the weapon?


Its obvious the Chadian Invasion is to help its Kanuri tribesmen who it feels are being used as pawn in the Politics of jonaTAN and some military top echelons who wants to perpetuate and sustain the Insurgency for their own selfish and obvious political gains at the expense of innocent citizens

Everybody is celebrating the Chadian victories on Nigerian soil but i ask, Would they forfeit captured territories once the war is over?
I think we need to sign an undertaking with them, to ensure they retreat and not take the opportunity to pursue their own intentions

Sign undertaking? You don't mean it do you? You mean they should allow their own soldiers to die while yours run away from the front and the only thing they will tell the family of their soldiers is an undertaking for being a good neighbor.

Let face reality here, Chad under president habre their late former president led an incursion into Nigeria in 1982 I think, and killed some nigerian soldiers whilst laying claims.to same territories in Nigeria they are fighting seriously to liberate now.

Buhari then under whose division those soldiers were took it upon himself to liberate the territory hijacked and took on the Chadian Army killing and clearing them even up to the border of Libya before the OAU intervened and pleaded with president Shagari to rein in Buhari and his soldiers.

History has a way of repeating itself. Chad won't leave.with nothing, they had plans for those territories long long ago

So its an issue of seeding territories to Chad or seeding to BH....What advise Nigerians do?

Case of a choice between devil and the red sea. Most inhabitants of those territories who have lost faith in the Nigerian Army will stick with the chadians.

Nigeria will get it territory back from Chad when Buhari comes in, he is a destiny child. But this time around at.a cost to our national honour and national security.
They will seek and earn a hard bargain and will most likely release those territories after earning a good negotiation for their lost too.

The Bakassi scenario comes to mind here.

All the analysis I am reading here makes me wonder if we did not leave the removal of GEJ too late. The man has turned Nigeria into a laughing stock, a weak nation.

pendy79:

, we will take the crown to him in Chad without him contesting. We will just decide to give him Aso Rock. If he helps us get rid of BH, isnt that enough campaign? Since our leaders are paying ten ten with our lives.

Pendy79 and podosci, I enjoyed you guys analysis, I must say I have enriched myself from all your comment, well grounded and articulated. The problem with Nigerians is that we don't face fact, we prefer to Decieve ourselves, it obvious right from onset Nigerian Army can't fight insurgency, I wonder why dey can't take the fight to boko haram and wipe them off, instead dey prefer to wait for those BH boys to attack and kill harmless civilians, claim territories, barracks. Etc. It really a big shame! Jonathan and his corrupt criminal gang have destroy Nigeria completely!
I have watch several videos of boko haram attacks, most cases Nigerian army usually get the info before attacks but they seems complacent and scared, immediately BH attacks they run leaving behind their weapons and armoury warehouse, most even remove there uniforms even before the attacks, that a disgrace.
Solution: there is only one solution in stopping this insurgency, and that is comes febuary 14th, Nigerians both old and young should come out and vote a veteran who can get the job done and that is General Buhari! We should issue a red card to the Commander in Chief, VP, CAS, and CDS. We should put sentiment aside and face the reality, we just can't afford to miss this opportunity, another Buhari might not emerge again so pls let vote wisely!

God bless Prof Osibanjo!
God bless General Buhari!
God bless APC!
God bless Nigeria!

When Nigerian soldiers ran into Cameroon like frightened schoolgirls, didn't the Army Leadership say it was a tactical manoeuvre?

Even when GEJ went to Maiduguri to campaign, didn't he run away and leave some of his entourage behind?

If you have nothing to say, please keep your ignorance to yourself. Who is blackmailing the Army?

Thanks for the complement bro. Nigeria's problem isn't prayers not being answered but we allowed ourselves to be driven by parochial sentiments of religion and ethnic bigotry.

If Nigeria is better, it will be for the good and benefit of all. If you allow a poor, less populated, lower GDP, civil war ravaged and less developed country like Chad make military incursions into your territory without invitation or coordination with your own military then your National Security and Territorial Integrity is at risk.

The best defence of a Nation is DETERENCE AND FEAR OF YOUR CAPABILITY TO RESPOND WHEN ATTACKED., what North Korea, Iran and Russia are benefiting hugely from cos all their enemies are not sure of their military might.

But what the Chadian Army have done is to show the entire world how useless our Army and National Defence is like. It is totally not in existence. Chadians planes enter into our country and we have no radar to pick them up and no Airforce jets scrambled to intercept them to ask their mission.

Shame on Nigerian leadership from the political leaders to the military.

Russians jets enter the English channels last Thursday and the Royal Airforce was in the Air seconds after to intercept them and afterwards the Russian Envoy was summoned to Downing Street to explain, that's response.

Have the Nigerian leaders or military made any comment since the episode? NO.

Watch Niger Republic start getting ideas to seize Nigerian Territories soon.
