Army vows to deal with those behind fake news on Boko Haram war

The army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman said in a statement which he issued to newsmen on Monday.

The Nigerian Army has vowed to deal decisively with those behind propaganda and subversive acts intended to demoralise troops in the North East.

The army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman said in a statement on Monday that those “unscrupulous elements’’ were also perfecting strategy to rubbish government’s efforts in the provision of safety and security for the citizens.

Usman noted that the saboteurs were determined to dampen the troops’ morale and compromised them against the war efforts, and complicate security situation in the country for selfish and cheap political gains.

He accused them of making efforts to “politicise and derail the ongoing fight against terrorism and insurgency in the country.’’

He said they were doing this through “recent systematic releases and recycling of old Boko Haram propaganda video clips, and old interviews of disgruntled and cowardly soldiers.’’

The army spokesman added that they also engaged in spreading of false and inaccurate news reports by using some sections of the media.

“We would like to reiterate that Nigeria is at war with Boko Haram terrorists, in any form or guise that they may manifest and strongly warn these subversive elements to desist from these unwholesome efforts.

“We would like to warn that the Nigerian Army will no longer tolerate these subversive acts and sabotage aimed at dampening troops’ morale, affect their performance and to finally abandon the war.

By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
