The Nigerian Army on Friday raised alarm over plans by “some highly-placed individuals” in the North East, particularly Borno State, to sabotage military operations in the region.
A statement by the army spokesman, Sani Usman, said the elite were bent on having the activities of the Boko Haram terrorists prolonged for their selfish interests.
Mr. Usman, a colonel, did not however state in clear terms the means through which the notable individuals were undermining the war against terrorism or how they would benefit from the insurgency when prolonged.
“The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the public and send a very strong and serious final warning to some prominent individuals and political groups who hailed from Borno State in particular and North East generally, that there is information of plans by some highly placed individuals and political groups to undermine and scuttle the fight against terrorism and insurgency in this country.
“The unscrupulous individuals and their cohorts were determined to reverse the gains made and scuttle our efforts of achieving the Presidential directive to defeat Boko Haram terrorists within 3 months. They are enlisting the services of some Non-Governmental Organizations in this grand design.
“It has come to our knowledge that they were employing every means to see that the operation does not succeed in order for them to continue to enjoy certain benefits.
“It has been revealed that they are employing the services of marabouts and other unethical means in order to frustrate our efforts and the operations in addition to campaign of calumny.
“We are aware of their clandestine meetings and other diabolical efforts to achieve their nefarious aims. This would not be tolerated.
“Therefore, such individuals and groups should be warned in unmistakable terms that anyone found would be dealt with accordingly.
“People should place the interest of the nation above any personal gain or ambition. The continued loss of lives and property in this country through terrorists activities does not one any good,” the army spokesman said.

ReplyDeleteOf course we know that they have support from the leaders e.g Senator Ndume and that's why they've succeeded this long but their time is up.
Hahahahaaaa, are these people just waking up from sleep? When Jonathan's government was fighting Boko haram this same thing was said about third columnists and APC and Lie Mohammed debunked it. Then they made people believe Jonathan and PDP were the ones sponsoring boko haram. It certainly has dawned on them. Le me tell you, 3months is all you have, no excuses

ReplyDeleteBoko haram is a deadly political weapon in the hands of the north.
It was successfully used to remove Jonathan from power.Its major aim is to install a northern Muslim as a president.
I guess the northerners don't want to disband the group. knowing quite well that 2019 is not far away.

ReplyDeleteOkay
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious there are big rich people supporting boko haram. It takes funds to support all the buying of sophiscated weapons and machinery. Weapons are not cheap. Even the food and co dey eat and diesel they use for dere tanks, na money dem use buy am. There are real powerful people behind them, war ain't cheap. The funny thing is even if government gets dos funding dem, dey will sweep it under the carpet. There is a reason why America came and left during bring back our girls, till now no public report from them concerning this.
