In view of military losses in recent weeks to Boko Haram terrorists, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai has given an even more startling expose to the effect that Boko Haram Insurgents have now engaged the use of hi-tech machinery in fighting soldiers.
He revealed that the Boko Haram insurgents now use drones and mercenaries to attack troops’ formations in the northeast.
A statement signed by Brig. Gen. Sani Kukasheka, on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff and issued on Wednesday said the trend poses threats which require review of military operations against the insurgents.
Thirty-nine soldiers were killed and forty-three others wounded in multiple attacks coordinated by Boko Haram insurgents on various military locations in the past few weeks.
