The Nigerian Army has reacted to the newly released video of Boko
Haram terrorists threatening to blow up the country's capital, Abuja. In
a press statement issued by the Nigerian Army spokesman, he stated
categorically that the recent Boko Haram Video released is mere
propaganda. The statement reads;
The attention of Nigerian Army has been drawn
to two video clips released by one of the released Boko Haram terrorists
in exchange for the abducted Chibok school girls. In the first clip
the terrorist, among other things, made boastful and spurious
allegations, while the second clip was about alleged indoctrination of
some of the abducted Chibok school girls in captivity. We wish to state
that the terrorist has lost touch with current realities.
It
was aimed at seeking relevance and attention. As you are all aware, he
was a direct beneficiary of the process that led to the release of 82 of
the abducted girls, and does not have a say or capacity to do anything,
therefore his threats should be ignored.
We
would like to assure the public that the Nigerian Army is totally
committed to the Federal Government’s determined efforts of rescuing all
abducted persons and peace in the country. We will not relent our
determined efforts of clearing the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists
as manifested through the ongoing clearance operations.
The
Nigerian Air Force is unrelenting in its bombardment while other
Security Agencies are equally doing their best. Therefore, we wish to
solicit for more support, cooperation and understanding of the public,
particularly members of the Press.
