Nigerian soldier and Invictus Games gold medalist, Peacemaker Azuegbulam has shed light on the terrifying strength of Boko Haram insurgents, emphasizing the scale and sophistication of their weaponry.
Speaking On The Lucky Udu Experience Podcast from 0:37, Azuegbulam warned that many Nigerians still underestimate the real danger posed by the terrorist group.
“People don’t really understand the force of the Boko Haram terrorists,” he said. “When you see the Boko Haram coming for attack in a location, you will see like almost 200 individuals with personal rifles which can fire from 1,000 meters and above.”
Azuegbulam’s revelation highlights the grave challenges faced by Nigerian soldiers battling insurgency in the Northeast and other regions. His firsthand account paints a picture of an enemy that is not only determined but heavily armed with high-powered rifles capable of striking from long distances.
The soldier, who was severely injured in combat but has continued to inspire Nigerians with his story of resilience, used the platform to call for greater awareness and support for troops on the frontlines. His description of Boko Haram’s military capability adds urgency to the conversation about security and the need for better equipment and training for Nigerian forces.
Azuegbulam’s comments come at a time when many Nigerians are growing weary of the prolonged insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. His perspective serves as a stark reminder of the reality on the battlefield, one that is often masked by official reports and distant headlines.
His voice, shaped by experience and sacrifice, calls not just for recognition but for a national commitment to fully support those risking their lives to defend the country.
