Army dismisses Shakau’s new video as mere propaganda
(Nigeria) Nigerian Army, yesterday, dismissed the new video by Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shakau, as a mere terrorists propaganda aimed at creating fear in the mind of people.
Acting Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General
Sani Usman, in a statement, reacting to the new video said, “Our attention has
been drawn to a video clip released by Boko Haram Terrorist group from an
undisclosed location a while ago, showing its purported leader, making spurious
claims.
“While effort is on going to subject the video for further
forensic analysis, the Nigerian Army wishes to reiterate that it has captured
and occupied the last known stronghold of the terrorists group in the Sambisa
forest.
“We would like to reassure the public that this video is
nothing but mere terrorists propaganda aimed at creating fear in the mind of
people and to remain relevant. Therefore,
there is no cause for alarm, more so as concerted effort in clearing the
vestiges of Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding is still
ongoing.
“Our gallant troops deployed in various parts of the north
east have continued to intensify search for all persons associated with Boko
Haram terrorist group with a view to bring them to justice.
“Consequently, the public are hereby enjoined to go about
their normal lawful business, remain vigilant and security conscious. They
should also report any suspicious person or group of persons to security
agencies,” the statement added.
