Fresh reports said some soldiers reportedly fired gunshots
at the motorcade of the General Office Commanding, Major General Ahmadu
Mohammed, for his alleged oversight in allowing 12 soldiers slained by Boko
Haram , Wednesday, to suffer that fate.
The soldiers went to a village where nativess ambushed and
killed several Boko Haram terrorists. According to Premium Times, they finished
their mission at night. The soldiers, wary of returning to their newly-formed
base, 7th Division, at that time for fear of ambush from the
insurgents, called and pleaded with their superiors from the village for
permission to return in the daytime. But, this request was turned down. They were
ordered to return that night and what they feared eventually happened as the
soldiers lost their lives as they dreaded.
Furious, the soldiers shot sporadically into the air to
register their grief and anger as the GOC arrived but, he was unhurt.
