General Williams Reveals Reasons Behind Soldiers Fleeing Boko Haram Attacks

Retired General Williams explained why Nigerian soldiers often flee when Boko Haram attacks, attributing it to a lack of proper education and training in counterinsurgency warfare. He emphasized the need for a six-month security agency reorganization, improved intelligence systems, and enhanced training for personnel.

Williams highlighted the importance of community support in combating terrorism and urged traditional rulers to collaborate closely with security agencies to tackle arm smuggling across borders. He criticized the frustrating situation where some communities still support terrorist groups, hindering government efforts to address insecurity in Nigeria.
