BOKO HARAM: Fani-Kayode expresses shame over release of Nigerian soldiers by Chadian troops

Fani-Kayode wrote on Twitter: “Nigerian troops freed by Chadian soldiers after they launched a massive attack led by their President.
“They also seized many dangerous weapons from Boko Haram. I pity Nigeria. Can you imagine that it took the efforts of the Chadian Army to free our boys? O Lord, where art thou?
The release of the Nigerian soldiers also followed the killing of 100 Boko Haram members in Magumeri, a local government area in the northern part of Borno State.
