Meanwhile the Nigerian military has been giving a different account of how the country’s troops made its way into Cameroon. According to information on its blog, the military maintains that contrary to reports that the soldiers fled to Cameroon after been overpowered by Boko Haram insurgents, the troops found themselves on the Cameroonian side of the border as result of what it calls tactical maneuver. According to the statement, having found themselves in Cameroonian soil, the troops had to submit their weapons as demanded by convention to demonstrate they were not on a hostile mission.
