Chief of Army Staff,COAS, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, weekend, blamed the recent attack on Sector 1 of 27 Task Force Brigade located in Gaidem, Yobe State on the attitude of troops towards the ongoing war, calling on the need for a review of the troops attitude.
Though the attack was reported to have been repelled by the troops, during which several terrorists were killed and their weapons destroyed, three soldiers also lost their lives.
Addressing soldiers and officers during his maiden tour of units and commands under the 81 Division of the Army, in Lagos, Buratai said despite sophisticated weapons and equipment at the disposal of troops in Giadem to protect themselves as well as civilians , they did not attack the insurgents.
He said: “Two, three days back, I was in Geidam and the attitude of our troops call for serious review because they have the equipment, weapons, everything they require to protect themselves and indeed citizens that are there, the whole community and villages around.
“But, they just went and sat down without adopting the proper battle procedures. These are the attitudes we have been suffering all these while.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteI thought you people said the last regime was clueless about everything, the war inclusive, and was not motivating the troops very well that was why you failed. You also said that the new regime has done well on troops motivation and others. But what happens to the troops attitudes? Is it about money, motivation, or other factors you are not telling us?
ReplyDeleteI told you then, in one of my responses to the issue of boko haram, that what you people did then to make the last regime look like a failure would surely backfire.
Until you allow dedication, patrotism, truth and the fear of God to guide you, you cannot win this battle.
So stop blaming the troops and address the core issue. Thanks.
after all the push up morale booster and the support from US and allies in west Africa, common Buratai, hear yourself talk like a politician..... yesterday the army was poorly funded, today it is their attitude, tomorrow it will be the United States of Nigeria, nonsense
Deletemmm a coach blaming the team ,a pilot blaming the passengers ,generals always accept victor or losses , pls oga don't allow politics to enter the military,
