105 soldiers reported missing after fight with Boko Haram?

No fewer than 105 soldiers are said to have gone missing after a gun battle with Boko haram sect members at Gudunbali, Borno State, on Wednesday November 18th. According to a report by Premium Times, the soldiers went missing after a fight with the insurgents who tried to capture the community early yesterday morning.


A T-72 tank as well as several artillery weapons from the unit were reportedly carted away by the sect members.

“Gudunbali was attacked this morning and some weapons were captured from the battalion. Two officers and 105 soldiers are still missing. They captured a T-72 tank from the unit and some artillery weapons were also captured. The commanding Officer (CO) of the battalion is yet to be seen but no one has been confirmed dead yet,” a source told PT.
The source also added that the sect members carted away a truck loaded with 60,000 rounds of AA ammunition and three artillery pieces. Spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Sani Usman as well as the spokesperson of the Army’s 7 Division, Tukur Gusau, both declined to comment on the matter, saying that the commander of the division would hold a press conference on the matter today November 19th.

    5. It is a culminating disappointment that all the promises made by this regime are crumbling like a pack of cards, while the COAS Burantai is busy decking himself and cohorts with heroic medals, a rudderless but gallant army with out-dated weapons are daily being committed to earth in various cemetery in the North eastern States. What is the Military leadership up to? is this a kind of gory game plan? Is this how we are going to achieve the December 2015, with these levels of conspiracy going on? Who is fooling who? Did we flush out Jonathan to make way for Bokoharam? Where are the Chibok girls we were promised? Nigerians want answers.

Pls just shut up and stop making senseless statements on this blog. You always pass comments like an illiterate. When they advise u to go to school, u will not.

  17. The worst defeat in a very long time for the Nigerian Army. I hope the correct their errors as the missing soldiers return on time to rouse this Book HArm elements.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hmm! I. Recommend that few men and women of God, filled with the spirit should always accompany them. Before they move in, special prayers should be held and their weapons should be blessed. Also, those who are Christians should go with a crucifix.

    Really, Boko haram is beyond the physical. The Nigerian government and the military should wake up to this reality. I have been advising that the federal government should declare three days of prayer to be led by Mbaka and pastor Adeboye. It should be conducted simultaneously. While Mbaka is in the East, Adeboye should be in the West and as for the North, any reputable and courageous Imam should mobilise the people for prayers.

    This December is going to witness the highest level and style of terrorist attacks. Friends, we must pray more and accompany our prayer with abstinence. Please, please! This weekend even looks bloody. I weep now because I see a new madness towards innocent lives. I see a raging attack. Lord, save your people!

    Please, wherever you are, prayer is one key I have found to be very useful so let us pray, until peace happens.

Buhari is just making noise about ending boko haram. The stolen ammunition will be use against our soldiers. Are we winning this war? NO! war against terrorism cant be won by mouth. Let us continue to pray for these soldiers. That God should be their defence till they reach a safe place.

  35. I don't get this. 105 soldiers captured by Boko haram? Soldiers are suppose to be vigilant 247 in a time of war. I beg to say, this is disgraceful. If the Nigeria soldiers can't defend themselves from imminent danger, how can they truly defend the Nation? The terrorists not only captured these soldiers but got away with weaponry which goes to say that we have a very weak military force in this country. God save us and bring those soldiers back alive

  40. The only way Nigeria would work and defeat this virus...... Igbos south east and south south should handle the army and the economy they have the strongest and smartest breed. They are build for war , the north should handle agricultural. The west should handle leader ship, them no get power but them just wan be oga so give them. The military will still watch them if they they mess up. Bokoharam would have been history by now. The Nigeria that will work. Since it cant happen, Biafra here we come lets start protecting our land

  41. How can 105 of our soldiers get missing? For crying out loud, these are all well train men of war. did Boko use something on them to make them all disappear? was there any formal attack that we should heard of a kind of war between our soldiers and the Boko folks? if this is true I think that we now have every reason to send our every Nigeria army to war with this useless people call Boko Haram.

    Our Nigeria military should now declare war with Boko Haram and go all out to show them that we are more powerful and intelligent than they are. Again, now it should not be only the army but all military forces. e.g the Air force, the Navy etc. I think that we cant win this war just fighting them in the bush otherwise, the bush should be taken over all at once. we should now go to war war war with this fools.

    May God help the men of the Nigeria army, may he keep all the 105 and 2 officers save and may we win this war against Boko Haram in Jesus name. Amen

  62. We do not fight insurgency with body language. Its easy to criticize from outside, the reality is here and not propaganda, the time for propaganda is over. The world powers have been promising to assist us, I do not know how much they have done that. We are losing on daily basis both human and material resources to BH. Some people thought is was all about GEJ and we called him all kinds of name. We need to give PMB a better name now. Pastor Bakare said he is not clueless but helpless. I do not know if I agree or not, but time to take a single decision is of the essence. Baba go slow is an understatement. May God help us. Everything is suffering, the economy, the citizens, the polity, even the sovereignty of the nation is under threat.

  68. This explains the level of conspiracy surrounding emergence of BH in Nigeria, it is highly unfathomable that 105 trained soldiers ( Nigerians army: best in land force) with sensible amount of arms and ammunition were subdued and kidnapped by BH.

    And my questions are:

    1. How many are these BH?
    2. With the amount of ammunition and personnel involved , Cant those soldiers defend themselves or rather fight to death as they were trained?
    3. Are the Nigerian army compromised as stipulated by USA Govt?

    With some many unanswered and uncleared questions, I have come up with an answers, and it is quite that unfortunate:

    1.OUR SO CALLED PRESIDENT, PMB is the CORE sponsor of Boko-Haram in Nigeria, And Nigerians will realize this very late.
    2. Our Pride ( Nigerian Army) is compromised.
    3. APC as a political party is being played by the Northern chieftains, As Yoruba don't pay attention to details.
    4. All plans are set to islamize Nigeria, and all Northern chieftains are aware of that including Atiku,Gowon, Babangida etc.
    5.As all these horrendous events unfolds rapidly, Nigeria will disintegrate, as the Igbos ( Biafrians) are uniting and finding a common ground to fight Nigeria.

    Lastly, Only prayers will halt these horrendous events unfolding in our dear Republic;Thus prayers is imperative.
