Nigerian Army dissociates itself from solidality ralies, says it is 'distractive'
The Nigerian Army has warned groups and individuals who are
celebrating the decimation and routing of Boko Haram terrorists from the
country to exercise caution as this premature jubilation could be
distractive to them.
Below is the statement issued today by the Acting Director of Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman:
"DISCLAIMER ON SOLIDARITY RALLIES
The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a number of groups
and individuals celebrating the routing out and decimation of Boko
Haram terrorists on our soil. So much as we thank them for that, it is
imperative to state that we do not begrudge such persons their desire to
identify and associate themselves with this success.
However, the Nigerian Army wishes to disassociate itself from such celebrations and solidarity rallies.
We also would like to advice that they should tread with caution as
this could be distractive to us. The public are please informed that the
terrorists are surreptitiously fanning out of their last enclaves in
Sambisa to cause havoc or seek refuge elsewhere.
Therefore,
there is need for all to be more vigilant and security conscious to
enable us clear the remnants of these terrorists wherever they might
flee.
We would like to reassure the public that we will remain
professional and focused in clearing the remnants of these criminals on
the Nigerian soil.
Thank you for your usual and kind cooperation.
