Six Nigerian soldiers have been dismissed for allegedly fleeing during a Boko Haram attack in Borno State. These soldiers were part of Operation Lafiya Dole, a mission aimed at countering insurgency in the North-East.
The attack happened around Damboa, a community in Borno State, and resulted in the deaths of over 10 soldiers. According to SaharaReporters, the six soldiers ran away from the battlefield during the attack.
A military source explained that the soldiers were dismissed for retreating during the battle. However, the source argued that the punishment was unfair because the soldiers fled only after they ran out of ammunition. They were not given enough weapons and ammunition to fight back against Boko Haram terrorists.
The source also blamed the deaths and the retreat on poor firepower and a lack of proper equipment. "Boko Haram infiltrated our location and caused casualties. Some of our colleagues fled during the battle and were dismissed for not retaliating," the source said.
This incident raises important questions about how well-prepared and supported soldiers are in high-risk areas. The problem of inadequate ammunition and equipment is not new in the fight against Boko Haram. The dismissal of these soldiers has sparked a debate about whether it is right to punish soldiers for retreating in such dire situations.
The decision to dismiss these soldiers highlights the need to ensure that troops on the front lines are well-equipped and supported. As the fight against Boko Haram continues, it is crucial to address these issues to protect the lives of soldiers and to achieve success in the mission. This incident is a reminder of the urgent need for better resources and support for those serving in dangerous areas.
