The Nigerian Army has deployed 20 out of its over 200 working war dogs in the on-going war against Boko Haram insurgents in the country’s North-East.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah, who disclosed this over the weekend, attributed the major breakthrough in the recovery of some communities held by the insurgents to a combination of the excellent performance of the war dogs, the resilience of the troops and the determination by the armed forces to quickly restore peace in the region.

Minimah, who spoke on Saturday during the commissioning of kennels for military war dogs in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, said that contemporary security challenges have necessitated the deployment of other aspects of tackling insurgency and war in addition to human personnel and weapons.

A Channels TV reports quotes him as stressing that the presence of more than 20 military working dogs deployed to the North-East has proved beneficial to the operations.

The report says that at the commissioning ceremony, some of the dogs, which range between the ranks of Privates and Lance Corporal, displayed some of their skills to the delighted audience.

The insurgency might be bad but it is sure bringing large development to the army.

Hopefully, the battle against insurgency will be won.

1st it was hunters and now......daugs! Gaddammit!

First Soldiers, then hunters, then dogs. I'm sure, traffic wardens would be next to be deployed to fight BH.

Talk of treating the symptoms and not the disease.

2015, and Jonathan would be beaten like a drum.

Men I'm gona need dis type of dog inna mi house..

Wardogs how? Well anything that will crush Bokoharam is welcomed.

The Dogs even have tags on them..#beautyofthemilitary

War dogs can unearth Boko Haram camps and dug in positions. They can detect IEDs, they can smell explosives on individuals.

No he is not pulling your leg, but telling you the truth. Haven't you heard of police dog.

The Nigerian police have or had this dogs. They are treated like the human personal. They have rank, wore tag indicating their rank and they are deadly and very effective in tracking or arms even if it concealed within your person, enemy and their location, drugs, explosive and very good in monitoring people they suspect or don't like.

Hope those boko boys don't kill and use them as pepper soup

Just 20 dogs?

If the Dogs can do what people can't, I'm good with that. As long as Peace is restored back to Nigeria.

A war that our military can't fight, it would be a shame on the Armed Forces if animals (dogs) are used to achieve victory.

na lions sure

with or without the help of our "allies" we will defeat our enemies, we have the greatest ally..

You're very correct.
Our armory has been depleted by corrupt generals and no government has done anything to upgrade our weaponry for over 25years
Insurgency woke the government and military from their slumber. Thank God its not a war from another country, it could have been more brutal.
I hope the weapon upgrading will continue
