In a statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman,
the army informed the public of the activities of the Borno elders to
scuttle the ongoing fight against terrorism in the country.
“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 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 undermine and scuttle the fight against terrorism
and insurgency in this country," the statement began.
'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 3 months.
'They
are enlisting the services of some Non-Governmental Organizations in
this grand design. “It has come to our knowledge that they are employing
all 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 campaigns of calumny. “We are aware of their
clandestine meetings and other diabolical efforts to achieve their
nefarious aims and this will not be tolerated.
'Therefore,
such individuals and groups should be warned in unmistakable terms that
anyone found will be dealt with accordingly. People should place the
interest of the nation above any personal gain or ambition,' the statement read in full.
