Sadly the Nigerian army is the only fighting force in the world that would shamelessly announce that they killed 105 terrorists and recovered less than 10 weapons.
Must they be as clueless as the federal government? Really, these people think everyone is stupid.
The number of weapons recovered are testament to the number of Boko Haram terrorists they killed, no two ways about it.
What a senseless claim. How could any discerning and bipartisan Nigerians believe this cheap propaganda.
What a government. Any government that thrives on lies and propaganda will never be successful.
What a failed government. What a shame. What a situation. I take a stroll. Nonsense.
Job weldone! Even BH will soon realise that Corona virus has stopped all things including terrorism. Where will they get supply of arms from?
Nature is even against them. The troop has upper hand and will deal will them to surrender. Am certain, they are weakened and hunger will be the last weapon they will face . In that way, most will go away or die in bush.
U should be chasing them, you are not ashamed, laying ambush inside your country, U shouldn’t be waiting for them, clueless cowards military
Abi ooo. Just a face saving stuff after Chad took a big junk of the exploit last month. Well good they killed 105 if that was true. They should keep it up, if they can always ambush them and kill 100 every week, BH will be neutralized finally in a short time.
