Video: Soldiers fight for water as relief materials finally arrive Sambisa forest battlefront

The Nigerian Army has rebuffed a video that went viral earlier this week showing some Nigerian soldiers dying of thirst and hunger where they were fighting Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.

According to a statement by Army spokesman S.K Usman,
"We wish to state that the video clip was shot more than six months ago by some mischievous and disgruntled elements when 29 Task Force Brigade captured Alagarno Forest and environs in Borno State."
However, information on ground suggests that the Army has finally reacted to the ailing troops by sending food and relief material to Sambisa Forest battleground where Nigerian forces are positioned.

Another video that surfaced today shows soldiers scrambling for items as help finally arrives when a helicopter carrying water, food and other relief materials barely landed in an unnamed military location in Sambisa.

APC foundation is built on lies. Just yesterday l watch a live media chart by Major Gen. Lucky Irabor asking Nigerians to disregard that very video that our soldiers were fainting cus of dihydration as a result of shortage of water and just now another video have emerge to comfirmed the earlier report. APC led govt will soon ban our soldiers from using smart phones while in operations, watch out.

Now where exactly will the FGN focused on? where will they direct the resources of this precious country? If the Soldiers that are fighting day and night, just to get rid of the Bokoharam insurgents and they are not getting the necessary things that will keep em going.. then the country is Finished. (HOW CAN THEY NOT BE PROVIDED WITH WATER huh

I don't know who is more stupid, the government (despite being a former military officer) that has failed to treat her soldiers and men in uniform with dignity or the men and women that think that Nigeria is worth dying for? smh in disbelieve. huh

Next thing you will hear from the media are:
Lai: That is a tactical maneuver by the military
Buratai : That was operation helicopter dance training.
APC media team: Those were Nigerian military trying to help air lift the helicopter due to some technical problem
Mr. Ogunlesi: Those were our Military celebrating their technical defeat of BH in Sambisa
grin

this is barbaric. And some fools are somewhere getting rich with the funds for their relief materials.
I believe we have an airforce, what happened to the sky box drop of materials in bulk? This is disheartening honestly. That tiny helicopter can't even carry 1 ton on water talk more of food.
And the people am seeing are more than 200. angry
