The Nigerian military swiftly
debunked the rumours and announced the soldiers were dispersed during an attack by the Boko Haram insurgents and have since re-united with their colleagues with the weapons carted away by the terrorists returned.
Highly controversial politician and lawyer, Femi Fani-Kayode has taken to his Twitter account to lambast the government for concealing the news of the alleged death of the 105 soldiers. Fani Kayode claims the story has quietly been buried by the Defence Headquarters so as to prevent the general public from knowing the real details behind the killings.
“The most reprehensible thing that our government can do is to cover-up the fact that 105 of our soldiers were killed by Boko Haram in battle.It is evil”.
“A soldier ought to be honored in death and this is especially so if he dies in the course of doing his duty and fighting for his nation”.
“The government has not only dishonored them by not acknowledging their sacrifice but they have also buried them in the wilderness like rabid dogs”
“This is wickedness of the highest order and Pres. Buhari, his Chief of Army Staff and his Min. of Defence should bury their heads in shame”.
“I am outraged by the fact that a soldier will sacrifice his life for his country yet the citizens of that country don’t even appreciate it,” he posted on his Twitter handle.
