An ambush by Boko Haram terrorists in Meleri, a village in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, has resulted in scores of fatalities, a security source told SaharaReporters. Victims of the ambush, which occurred at about 11 am on Wednesday, included soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF). According to the source, who is not authorized to speak to journalists, the troops were attacked while undertaking a trip from Konduga town, the local government headquarters, to Kawuri, a few kilometers from Meleri.

We lost soldiers and four CTJF members. The troops were ambushed by terrorists on their way to Konduga yesterday, leaving many wounded on both sides. As our troops approached the desolate village, the terrorists opened fire on the convoys," said the source.

why should I pity them when Nnamdi KANU and ipob is more a problem to them than this terrorist within their territory, I have being waiting for the day arewa youth and elders will condemn this incarceration , why do they always turn blind eyes anytime bomb goes off in north... but if Nnadi KANU drink tea in his Biafran regalia they and their yellowbar slaves will be the first to react... since they chose to destroy Nnamdi KANU that do no harm to them , so shall Allah destroy them through boko haram... let the bombardment continue

When you are Fighting an unconventional Warfare these things happens from time to time cos the War is based on ideology. Long after the Death of Osama bin Laden and defeat of Al Qaeda they still lay ambush and blow up people and places

teemy:
am yet to know what their current objectives are. all i hear now is they kill and are being killed but to what purpose?

Like most terrorists Boko Haram claims to be Fighting a WAR that will take out the current system of things and Establish an Islamic republic or Caliphate. But the Truth is it's leader Shekua is a Mad man with actually no Ideology that should be locked up in a Sanitarium cos more than 90% of his victims are Muslims as he goes about Blowing up Mosques, Blowing up IDF Camps that are 95% Muslims, strapping Teenage Muslims girls to blow up people so how can he be Muslim or even claim to represent Islam? Go to Youtube and watch a BBC Documentary on him and you will learn more about the Madman. How he wouldn't listen to his teachers and one day wakes up and declears himself Imam.

Osinbajo allowed BH to strengthen, immediately PMB left to for London, the BH resurgence began .

Osinbajo is a snake, a secret imperialist stooge working with another imperialist stooge Saraki to destroy Nigeria.

Very religious country where many have no guts and sense to understand things spiritually. The book of proverb says ''....you'll fight with swords amongst yourselves....''. The North descrated their land when they killed stranger elements (children, wives & husbands) and polluted their soil without seeking for appeasement, forgiveness and restitution. The spirits hovering in the North East is also hovering in Aso-rock, such that once a person from that side goes in, ''yawa go start''. You're sharing goat meat that Bubu returned, that was how I saw Dora Akunyili in 2014 National conference. They said she was healed, some vex, some no vex but after about 2 months, I no kon know who vex pass. So, don't share goat meet yet but advise him to stop threatening Nigerians and remove hin mind from Biafra wahala because Biafra no be person, na spirit. If u kill all of them, their grand kids go still believe in Biafra, so long as injustice still dey Naija. If Buhari softens his heart today on some issues he should not have bothered about, I bet you he'll become absolutely healed but main problem na cabals wey no gree him see clearly. Una dooooohhhh!!!

They were attacked when moving around with heavy force. That means they know they are going to pass that place or by coincidence when u become a military officer u will understand better this ppl are not joking on goza.

At this point maybe the military needs to actually negotiate with bokoharam, cos they are clueless on how to defeat them. That equally means this govt like the one before it is helpless, its a pity.

When Buhari came back, in his 5mins speech, he powerfully said he has reinforced the armed forces department to crack down all the groups anti-peace of the nation. My question is, are these people not part of that group, or was the speech directed to a specific group. Because what I see, is that his speech energized this particular group to cause the recent mayhem.

I am somewhat bewildered but not suprised. The first problem is that the depth of Ignorance on battlefield field management and strategy does not lie alone with the public.

I recall that a General giving information to the public about another ambush, declared that the army had responded and rescued all the kidnapped lecturers from Uni Maiguguri and the NNPC staff from that ambush. Within hours the truth began to filter out and he had given complete and utter misinformation.

It showed that we lack the basic communication infrastructure in real time that is needed for battlefield management.

Instead of remaining silent that he could be thought to be wise he did the opposite, saying it was sabotage and information given to the enemy.

Ambushing a NA convoy from all I gather is far from difficult. Firstly, we still go around in huge numbers of soft skinned pick-up trucks into a kill zone. With a small number of light armoured APC's Piranha, the Chinese CS/VP3. We do not still have a definitive IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) in the NA inventory. So essentially we are under equipped.

Add to that the majority of our troops are still using antiquated AK47'S without optic sights.

The pertinent thing about an ambush is the element of suprise. When you are in a kill zone, you are expected to be ambushed it's not a suprise. In that regard you have strategic response immediate and support to mitigate against it.

However, again from what I am told we still believe In the mentality of strength in numbers. Very 1970's going around in noisy 100 vehicle convoys on main roads. It doesn't take rocket science to set up a confrontation in those circumstances.

Look at our procurement level and look at our expenditure our first son and father are very much at work CORRUPTION. This is at the heart of the matter.

Re: Boko Haram Terrorists Ambush Soldiers In Borno, Scores Feared Killed by oduastates: 6:25pm On Aug 24, 2017
This war is not properly run.
Nigeria only has peppersoup generals.

One of the solution is to remove the administration of defense from under these generals. The only administration they should be doing is the administration of the battlefield. Let them concentrate on their core duty.
Just look at the way they procure equipment.
In the airforce for instance, you will find aircrafts from one million countries.
This results in the inability to procure efficiently in bulk,
the interchangeabilty of parts during breakdown repairs is severely impaired because you cannot remove part from datsun and put it in Toyota. The terrorists should not in any way be able ambush troops.

Very valid points, the last time I checked, this ambush thing has been a challenge since 2yrs ago, time enough for the army authorities to have a solution.
While I agree that IFVs can solve the problem. I agree more with the guy you quoted.
We have approx 70k Infantry and amoured corps guys, should we provide effective transport at $5m for one IFV, the cost will be enormous.
On the flip side, we can purchase a long endurance recon drone that must scan the area before movement, our attack helos can rain fire if any concentration is spotted, it doesn't matter if there are moles.

Another way of mitigating that is last minute itinerary change and last minute troop reassignment, I feel sorry for this guys.They are dying for nothing!!
