Idriss Déby, Chadian president, has directed his soldiers not to allow their Nigerian counterparts free captured Boko Haram insurgents.

Chadian troops had, a week ago, launched an offensive against the insurgents in the Goje-Chadian area of Sambisa forest, a stronghold of Boko Haram.

Scores of the insurgents were killed and the Chadian soldiers took over their arms’ store in the area.

In a viral video, Déby is seen telling the troops that if freed, the insurgents would come to Chad to hurt them.

“This place will be our zone until Nigeria sends its soldiers. Stay with them for about a month. Do not let them free captured weapons or any Boko Haram terrorists, they will return to Chad and this will just hurt us,” he said.

“So let them just understand. We are not leaving the situation like this. In the next few days, I will speak with the President of Niger. You guys destroyed at least 90 percent of Boko Haram. That I confirm and can tell the world that 90 percent of Boko Haram is destroyed.

“The 10 percent that are left are running everywhere. Some have drowned and some ran to Niger, some to Nigeria but they will never come to Chad again. Chad is no place for Boko Haram.”

In March 2015, Déby said Nigeria was absent from the war against Boko Haram.

In 2016, the Nigerian army had launched Operation Safe Corridor, an initiative for the deradicalisation and rehabilitation of all ex-Boko Haram members, an idea some soldiers kicked against.

President Deby! President Deby!! President Deby!!! You are the son of your father. God will bless you and your brave soldiers a thousand fold for each soul the satanic boko haram has killed or maimed.

Please biko, help us finish the remaining 10% that are running around. Please don't wait for our clueless lily-livered retired "general" and his bloodsucking lackeys that he calls service chiefs. They will only go and grow that remaining 10% to full strength again and all your effort would then be for nothing. Is this not the same boko haram that our military has turned into an unkillable, undefeatable entity that you just gave one punch and they are reeling around like a punch drunk heavyweight boxer? Once again, thank you very much.

Lastly, If there is any way you can reach our President, please tell him that whatever he is gaining now by allowing the lives of his fellow Muslims and serving officers to be taken anyhow, it will definitely not be worth what he stands to lose in his place in history.
