Nigerian troops pull back from Sambisa forest

Nigerian troops have pulled back from their ongoing operations in Sambisa forest after 3 members of a government approved vigilante were killed by landmines setup by Boko Haram in the deadly forest today April 23rd.

The soldiers and the vigilante group members made an entry into the deadly forest on Sunday April 20th to destroy the sect members camps in the forest and if possible liberate the missing Chibok girls.

Reuters reports that a soldier who confirmed the retreat of the Nigerian troops said
"The soldiers have retreated to Bama because of mines. They had been on the road but that made them vulnerable, so they moved to the bush but there are mines planted there (too),"
A member of the vigilante group, Muhammad Mungonu, while confirming the recent development said
"Three of our boys were killed by a landmine as we progressed into Sambisa. We've suspended going farther."

IT WAS GENERALLY A BAD IDEA TO PUBLICISE THE PLAN. THE AREA SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER AERIAL SURVELLANCE FOR WEEKS.

This should not be mistaken 4 cowardice but part of operational plans that needed re strategization.
They will be Back like the Terminator, but with more vengeance.
Annihilating BH is already a Done job.

All dis BH attacks is getting
really disturbing.

Unknown said...

This Sambisa forest must be so deadly, may God bless our Gallant Nigerian Troops

Unknown said...

whao... it means BH got hidden devices intended to explode when touched or stepped-on. It's better the military n d vigilantes retreated, so they could restrategize. Victory is on the way our military men

Let Buhari go get the chibok girls

Though historical heroes, this is one thing d 300 Spartans never took into account( though I understand their resolve, they chose to be martyrs in a battle for freedom, which will create a psychology and emotion needed to win d larger war), sometimes u might need to retreat to rally your troops and live to fight another day. Good move by d Nigerian Soldiers, they'll be back with a greater offense

Unknown said...

Hmmm compared to the thousands of life lost,na so way to go Nigeria.

Anonymous said...

So all of a sudden Buhari is elected, and the Boko Haram that was terrorizing Nigeria, abducting girls and had far more superior weapons than our military, have lost their funding and resorting to bow and arrows lool Someone should tell me that a cabal from the Buhari camp was not behind Terrorism in Nigeria, let me be the first to slap you! so you wake up from your deep slumber

Kai!, another trick to mislead and discourage our soldiers again, to me it's a lie, the soldiers should go forcefully.

Nigerian army pls deploy droons to the forest, they are more sophisticated and can do the job better. This is 2015 not 1900!

Pulling back shouldn't be ideal. They need t b encourage t move forward.

Unknown said...

Air strikes will be a better Idea. God bless our troops.
