Nigerian Army Gives Strong And Serious Warning To Big Men Plotting To Prolong Boko Haram Activities.

 

The Nigerian Army has raised the

alarm over plans by “some highly-

placed individuals” in the North

East, particularly Borno State, to

sabotage military operations in the

region.

“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 lost of

lives and property in this country

through terrorists activities does not

one any good.”

A statement released 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.
