Boko haram fighter 5A defence analyst, Prince Adebayo Kabir Gbadegesin, has urged the military to be more cautious in its onslaught against Boko Haram insurgency.

Serious precaution, he said, would save officers and men handling the operations from being consumed in guerrilla warfare.

Addressing reporters in Oyo town, Oyo State, Gbadegesin noted that since guerrilla warfare is the most difficult war for the military to win, the success of the military onslaught in the North cannot be hastily determined.

 

He said: “Remember the Vietnam war, which was fought by the US Army and the number of American soldiers who died in the guerrilla warfare? This happened to a country that is globally reputed to be the world’s police. Since then, America has stopped going into guerrilla warfare.

“Here in Nigeria, where there is no record-keeping, coupled with the porous borders and lack of well-coordinated and effective intelligence mechanisms, it will be difficult for the military men, who are not accustomed to the terrain of the insurgents, to survive in their operations.

“If not for the fear of Boko Haram, it would not have occurred to the government to install surveillance close circuit television cameras on our borders and strategic locations, after over 50 years of independence.”
