#3 so around 100 terrorists attacked and the 750 Nigerian soldier brigade fought back for a while and then ran away

Supplied by the incompetents running the convoy then overran base with the captured supplies, most likely. Pathetic. Why does the press continue to call these posers soldiers?
PRESSTV must be Nigerian. Who else would say these 750 bums put up a fight?

#6 What it takes to overrun 730 soldiers in a defensive position is either the biggest surprise since ma caught.... Anyway, or a lot more than 730 guys, or very heavy supporting fires. Assembling either of the latter two would be obvious to any military force paying attention.
Most charitable explanation is the commandos came in disguised as the week's shipment of twelve year old girls.
