‘Decomposing Bodies’ Of Nigerian Soldiers Still In Boko Haram Territory

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img alt="Boko-Haram-Fighters-NL" class="aligncenter  wp-image-131505" height="439" src="http://778819914.r.worldcdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Boko-Haram-Fighters-NL.jpg" width="783" /><br /><br /><strong>Bodies of Nigerian soldiers killed on April 18 in a Boko  Haram ambush in Gubio, Borno state, are yet to be retrieved, a soldier  on the war front has told TheCable.</strong><br /> <br />The soldier said Gubio, a local government, is the “nemesis” of  Nigerian troops as the insurgents are still fully in control, despite  the successes recorded since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power.<br /> <br />He said only 15 bodies of the slain soldiers were recovered, with the actual figures of the casualties yet to be made public.<br /> <br />But a spokesman for the army has described the soldier’s claims as “false”.<br /> <br />The soldier said it was impossible for the Nigerian military to  penetrate Gubio because of the insurgents’ “superior fire power”,  although he said successes have been recorded in other local government  areas of the state.<br /> <blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">“In one battalion, out of 500 plus, they are no longer up  to 150. Half of them did not come back alive. Boko Haram killed some  but our soldiers also killed some insurgents. Of the 12 soldiers that  recently returned from Guinea Bissau, 10 have died,” he said.<br /> </blockquote></blockquote><br /><blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">“Our men are in Gubio local government area, though the place we  wanted to capture is Damasak, which has a boundary with Niger Republic.  That (Gubio) is the only local government area under Boko Haram. They  control the whole area.”</blockquote></blockquote>Reports had suggested that Nigerian soldiers suffered “heavy losses”  in the ambush, but the army issued a statement later in the day saying  the insurgents were eventually overpowered.<br /> <strong>The soldier said:-</strong><br /> <blockquote>“Boko Haram is well-armed… all of them. Anti-aircraft gun  is what they use to kill people. Their vehicles are the colour of the  Nigerian army just as their uniforms. Boko Haram uses anti-aircraft  guns, but we don’t have those. And they have more than 20  rocket-propelled grenades; we have only two.<br /> </blockquote><br /><blockquote>“When we were trying to enter Gubio on Monday (April 18), they  ambushed us. It is not clear to us how they got to know our mission.<br /> </blockquote><br /><blockquote>“On that day soldiers said that they did not want to go into that  local government area because they did not have arms. But their bosses  said that they must go there without being well-armed. Two battalions  (113 and 158) of the fifth brigade went there.<br /> </blockquote><br /><blockquote>“Uncountable soldiers lost their lives. The corpses are still there  now. We only recovered 15 bodies, but many of the soldiers are in the  bush dead, and their bodies are decomposing. And authorities are going  to block their accounts if their bodies are not recovered. Their  families will not be able to access their salaries or benefits. There  must be a dead body before you can make claims.<br /> </blockquote><br /><blockquote>“There is no reinforcement, and the commanders are asking the  soldiers to go back there. Some soldiers have run away; there are less  than 100 in a particular battalion now. The ammunition has been  depleted, and no reinforcement.<br /> “The two battalions are scattered and there is no encouragement.”</blockquote>However, the army has described the report has false.<br /> <br />Speaking with TheCable, Sani Usman, army spokesman, called for a  “proper questioning” of soldiers who leak information to journalists.<br /> <br />He explained that some of the soldiers who quickly run to give false  information to the press were the ones running away from battle.<br /> <br />Usman described them as “cowards”.<br />  </div>

United, with time running out on  them, are chasing a Champions League spot, and Van Gaal believes they  have to win Leicester City if they really want to make the UCL.<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq">“We have to close the gap so the pressure is on us still.  We have to win every game that we have to play. City still have to play  against Arsenal, though, so one of those shall lose points,” he told  reporters.</blockquote><br /><img alt="_86312026_vardy_pa" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-139499" height="360" src="http://778819914.r.worldcdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/86312026_vardy_pa.jpg" width="640" /> <br /><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">“I think we have to beat Leicester because we are still in the race  for the first positions so we have to beat them. We cannot allow that  they are the champions this weekend at Old Trafford.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">“I think they will be the champions a week later, so we don’t spoil  the party, just postpone it a little bit. It is good for the Premier  League and the sport of football that not always the same teams are the  champion.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">“We are fighting for the qualification to the Champions League and we  are still in the FA Cup, so we have to fight for something and we shall  do it. Hopefully, we can beat Leicester City.”</blockquote></div>
