The Nigerian Army has raised the alarm
that some prominent indigenes from the North-East are planning to
subvert the on-going campaign against Boko Haram insurgency.
The Acting Director, Army Public
Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in an electronic mail on Friday that
the individuals and political groups were engrossed in looking for ways
to reverse the gains of the war against the terror gang.
Usman alleged that those involved in the
mischief were engaging marabouts, non-government organisations and
others to frustrate the operation.
He said the Army was aware of the evil
plan and would not tolerate the antics of those behind the plot, warning
that the military would not hesitate to deal with them.
Usman said, “The Nigerian Army wishes to
inform the public and send a very strong warning to some prominent
individuals and political groups who hail from Borno State in particular
and North-East generally, that there is information of plans by some
highly placed individuals and political groups to scuttle the fight
against terrorism and insurgency in this country.
“The
unscrupulous individuals and their cohorts are determined to reverse
the gains made and scuttle our efforts of achieving the Presidential
directive to defeat Boko Haram terrorists within three months. They are
enlisting the services of some non-governmental organisations in this
grand design.
“It has come to our knowledge that they
are employing every means to see that our 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.”
