Wow! US Troops Lands In Nigeria To Crush Boko Haram

Reports say no fewer than 40 soldiers from the United States arrived
Nigeria on November 6, 2014, Thursday, to assist in curbing the
activities of the dreaded Boko Haram sect.
New Telegraph quoting high-rank sources at the Army Headquarters
reports that the US troops were sighted at the Defence Headquarters
(DHQ), Abuja, in combat gear.
It could however not be ascertained if they were ground troops or
merely security experts and intelligence specialists.
"I can confirm to you that about 40 US military personnel, all in
combat gear, have arrived in the country.
"In fact, they arrived at the DHQ today (Nov.6), and I'm sure they met
with the military high command, for briefing and other necessary
operational issues," one of the sources said.When asked if they may be
deployed for real combat, the source said: "I think it might be to
boost intelligence gathering and they may not necessarily be ground
troops."
Another top military source disclosed that arrangements have been
concluded to bring in Egyptian pilots to fortify the aerial
bombardment of territories controlled by Boko Haram, particularly
Mubi, which has been recently captured by the insurgentsand renamed
into Madinatul Islam.
Additional helicopter gunships were also said to have been received to
complement troops on the ground.
The source said: "Let me assure you that the military high command is
very worried about this situation and that is why they are not sparing
any efforts to ensure that we regain every territory of the country
that has fallen to the insurgents.
"For your information, more helicopter gunships have arrived and are
ready for deployment."The sources were optimistic that the ongoing
insurgency in the Northeastern part of Nigeria will soon be reversed.
Boko Haram captured some local governments in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno
States in the last few months.
Recall, it was reported hundreds of Nigerian soldiers were said to
have fled Mubiwhen the Boko Haram sect attacked the town.
Following the recent take over of Mubi town, Adamawa state, by the
Islamists, the Nigerian military and police units are on a mission
to engage the sectin a fierce battle.
