Nigerian Army Says Missing Soldiers Return

Colonel Sani Usman, the spokesperson of the Nigerian
army, has stated that the soldiers missing after the gun
battle with the Boko Haram sect attacks in Gudumbali and
Kareto in Borno state have returned their units.
Earlier on November it was reported that at least
105 soldiers went missing after the Boko Haram attack.
Usman’s statement defined the incident as a small setback
for the Nigerian troops operating in the Northern Borno state
towns of Gudumbali and Kareto, saying, the situation was
being stabilized.
The statement reads in part: “ However, situation being
stabilised. The troops have rejoined their units for further action.
“The ealier media reports were exaggerated. The CO is right
now with his soldiers. It’s just a minor setback and such are
common in military operations. May Allah help us all.”
Nigerians have reacted tremendously to the earlier reports
about the missing 105 Nigerian soldiers which included the
commander officer after fierce encounter with Boko Haram
terrorists.
Chief of Army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has
also waved aside reports that soldiers prosecuting the war
against insurgents met their untimely death when they failed
to return.
