NO DISQUIET IN THE MILITARY OVER CHIBOK GIRLS ...
Negotiation, Political
The
Defence Headquarters attention has been drawn to an online and
newspaper publication insinuating that there is a mix feelings among
Nigerian military ranks and files as a result of the recent release of
some Chibok girls. The military wishes to state unequivocally that the
Armed Forces will continue to work closely with all our sister security
agencies to achieve more feat in this direction.
The
military also want to debunk the baseless and unfounded story that
there is disquiet in the military over the condition of release of the
girls. The Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies are one
working together to finish the war on terror and other criminalities
which can be done covertly or overtly. The most important thing is
achieving our strategic objective. The DHQ has said before that
negotiation with the terrorists or any other group rests purely on our
respected political leaders. The military operations to rid our land of
terrorists continue.
It is important to state
that not all information are meant for public consumption due to
processes which is purely political. More so, the ongoing military
operation is making unprecedented progress with rescue of many captives
held by the terrorists. The general public should discountenance with
this baseless and misleading story.
While the
Armed Forces holds the media veritable partner, it urges the media to be
mindful and clarify with the military when reporting security and
defence issues bothering on sensitive national matters of this nature.
