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.

    Some temporary setback.
    This should not be mistaken 4 cowardice but part of operational plans that needed re strategization.

    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

    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

    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
