More details have emerged online of a recent military operation by Nigerian soldiers battling Boko Haram fighters in the North-east.
The Nigerian general leading the operations said the insurgents attacked troops he was leading with “15 gun trucks” from different flanks, Olusegun Adeniyi, a major-general and theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole said in a video.
“We have been met with very strong resistance from Boko Haram since yesterday. They are more than pockets of insurgents. Today morning, and from every flank, not less than 15 gun trunks faced us. The Boko Haram terrorists fired more than 100 RPGs and mortars on us. Yet, we are not running or fleeing from them. Me and other generals are on the ground. We are good to go. But this is the true situation of things,” the Theatre Commander added.
The exact day Mr Adeniyi shot the video was not stated, but Nasoweseeamonline learnt that the video was shot about four days ago meaning the attack occurred around Wednesday.
Mr Adeniyi did not also state the exact location where the attack took place in the North-east, but our security source said it was in Borno State.
