Nigerians who Want To Battle Russian Soldiers Should Face Boko Haram First –Ex-DIG Adeoye
Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Adedayo Adeoye (retd.), has said that Nigerians soldiers who have who wants to fight invading Russian soldiers in Ukraine should be tested with fighting in Borno, Yobe and other states in North-East Nigeria to combat terrorists who are commonly known as Boko Haram.
Adeoye stated this in an interview
He said the Nigerian Government should be proactive to motivate the dismissed military men to boost the insurgency war against Boko Haram and other terror groups in the North-East.
Adeoye said the planned mission of the Nigerian fighters to Ukraine was suicidal as they neither understand the Kyiv terrain nor the art of warfare in Europe.
The Ukrainian Embassy had told the Nigerian fighters who are willing to travel to Ukraine to fight Russian forces to provide $1,000 for ticket and visa, promising that they would be paid the price that Ukrainian soldiers are paid.
The announcement came as the Russia-Ukraine conflict split into its second week amid shrinking military forces and casualty toll in Ukraine even as attempts to reach a truce and cease the destruction of the war-wracked European nation have been unsuccessful between adamant Vladimir Putin and defiant Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
