Nigerian Army Has Been Reduced To A Petty Organization - Saharareporters by ethylene: 5:57am On Dec 29, 2014
Reputable online news platform Sahara Reporters, has bombed the Nigerian Army, calling them a petty organisation with generals who specialise in deploying troops to attack the news organisation on twitter.

In an exclusive chat with the publisher of the news organisation Omoyele Sowore, the New York based publisher told The Paradigm that he his not surprised the army has resorted to name calling.

The Nigerian Army had earlier accused Sahara Reporters of working with the deadly Boko Haram terrorist group.

Dismissing the allegation, Sowore said “the US Government was similarly accused of working for Boko Haram for refusing to sell helicopters to the Nigerian Army.

“The Nigerian Army has been reduced to a petty organization, the other day they deployed their men chasing after newspaper delivery vans across Nigeria because some were critical of their handling of the anti-terrorism fight.

Mr. Sowore further said that “Since they can’t find or arrest our copies, they’ve resorted to cheap blackmail.

“The content of the petition clearly speaks to how Boko Haram could be defeated, states why they haven’t been defeated.

“The petition indicted senior military officers including stating how a GOC was diverting money and food, and also building a mansion in Kaduna. But instead of investigating and acting on the content of the petition, the military hierarchy is engaging in subterfuge and deflecting public attention from the real issues.

“We join the long line of conscientious watchdogs branded by the Nigerian authorities for saying and reporting the truth,” Sowore explained.

While speaking with this reporter, Sowore said that “The Nigerian Army needs to return to being a serious and respectable fighting force in Africa not an organization of generals whose only skills are limited to deploying troops to fight dirty on Twitter”.
