The mayhem and devastation caused by the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) which attacked a Nigerian military formation in Borno, have yet again been narrated by a survivor.
While speaking in an exclusive interview with us, one of the soldiers who escaped the deadly attack on the military formation in Metele in Borno state, narrated how he escaped.
 
The operative of the Nigerian Army who spoke off the record said more than 100 of his colleagues fled the attack and accused the military authorities of lying to the public about the insurgency in the north-east, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to act.
 
He said:
Quote
“Most of our people dropped their arms and pulled off this dirty uniform… the bodies of our troops littered everywhere but we watched the news and heard army headquarters saying troops repelled the attack.


Quote
“The army chief and other generals only sit in Abuja and lie to Nigerians whereas soldiers are being killed on daily basis. We lack manpower but nobody is telling the president the truth.

“The president should demand the whereabouts of all the soldiers deployed to Operation Last Hold to fight Boko Haram under Major General Abbah Dikko.
 
"The answer is, all of them have been crushed by Boko Haram and their new weapons and arms are what the Boko Haram is using to attack us. Please, help us tell Mr President that the service chiefs are just lying to him.”

 
While also speaking to the correspondent, another soldier said he and his colleagues engaged the insurgents in a gun battle for 40 minutes but they eventually ran out of ammunition.
 
He said troops at the formation were alerted about the attack, one hour before the insurgents struck.
 
Quote
“Our commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sakaba told us to prepare for battle after being briefed by one of our soldiers whose duty is to monitor what is coming from distance,” he said.
 
“We engaged the terrorists for over 40 minutes before we ran out of ammunition on that very Sunday. They were well equipped and armed with rocket propelled grenades, more than 12 gun trucks mounted with anti-air craft shooting at us from a long range,”
he said.
 
Quote
“Some of us ran out of bullets and they overpowered us, we fled but those who could not escape were slaughtered like chicken.

“My brother our formation is surrounded by big trenches and barbed wires, which became a trap for our made it difficult for them to escape. I watched many of my fellow friends died helplessly in cold blood.”

Hmmmm,  if Boko Haram crushed these soldiers and the new weapons they captured are what they (Boko Haram), are now using to crush other soldiers,  the Fed Govt,  might be correct when it said our soldiers are not starved of modern weapons.  Do we now say the fault is in our star,  if Boko Haram can effectively  use the captured weapons to their own advantage. BOTOMLINEl ill trained troops.

   When you are discussing a situation in which weapon is of essence,  it is better to say UNARMED person,  instead of ARMLESS,  which tends to suggest the person in reference is Disabled: that is,  the fellow has lost his Arm/s.
