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.
