The Nigerian Army has said it is not their duty to expose those sponsoring Boko Haram in the country. Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, John Enenche, stated this at a media briefing on Thursday.

Enenche admitted that the Army knows that some criminal groups have heavy financial backing, but its major task is to fight “terrorism and other criminality”.

He explained that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Services (DSS) were responsible for revealing the sponsors.

“It is not the duty of the military to uncover the sponsors.
Our duty is to remain in the frontline and defeat terrorism and other criminality and that is what we are doing."

“We have the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Dept of State Security (DSS). It is their responsibility to gather intelligence on the sponsors of the terrorists and not the military,” Enenche maintained.

..........Are things truly getting worse for the government given the security situation in the country?

Our soldiers were not equipped.Our soldiers, who're sent to commit suicide at the hands of BH before the advent of President..Buhari, used to buy bullets & buy guns to go to war because they were not equipped.The morale was low.Today, we are miles away from where we used to be in 2015.

But we still hear the story that our soldiers are being killed daily?

It is an exaggeration. It is a lie from the pit of hell and we know where the pit of hell is.

But there are videos on that…

They are Fake videos.They are making people afraid by using fake information....
