The Nigerian military have not
forgotten the recent announcement
by Boko Haram about the sect’s
alleged link with the Islamic State in
Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Recall that the earlier claimed
allegiance with the ISIS caused serious
concerns among experts who feared
that the Nigerian group might become
more powerful and extend their
atrocious activities.
Speaking on May 18, Monday, in Abuja
a military official made a fresh
comment on the issue, Thisday reports.
When asked if there is substantive
intelligence to validate the allegiance
of Boko Haram to the ISIS, Rear Admiral
Gabriel Okoi, the Chief of Defence
Intelligence (CDI), said that “its an
open secret”.
