The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has
lambasted the Nigerian Army for poorly
managing information about President
Muhammadu Buhari’s proposed trip to
Sambisa forest.

Nigerian Army last week disclosed the
proposed visit of the President to Sambisa
forest, Borno State, to declare open this
year’s Nigerian Army Small Arms
Championship.

MURIC Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a
statement said although the President was
represented by a high-ranking Nigerian
official,

“the way and manner the Nigerian
Army made the president’s movement public
ahead of the time in a zone that is yet to
become completely secure” was condemnable.

“That publicity blitz on the president’s
proposed visit to Sambisa was, to say the
least, naïve, infantile and ill-advised.

“While it is true that presidents of countries
who dispatched soldiers to war zones usually
visit such dangerous places as the
commanders-in-chief of the army, such visits
are usually clandestine for obvious reasons.

“This explains why US President Lincoln’s
visit to Antietam on October 3, 1862 was
unannounced.

The same Lincoln was
protected by more than 100 US soldiers when
he paid another surprise visit to Richmond on
April 4, 1865.

“Neither British nor American authorities
announced Winston Churchill’s rendezvous
with Franklin Roosevelt in Casablanca during
World War II in January 1943.

“On Sunday, 25th May 2014, former US
President Barrack Obama slipped into
Afghanistan under cover of darkness.

“So why should Buhari’s visit to Sambisa be
different?

This is a notorious Boko Haram
stronghold that was held in awe for years.

We cannot afford to underestimate the
enemy.

“Although Boko Haram has been defeated,
bombs are still exploding in Borno State.
Villages are still being attacked. Innocent
people are still being killed.

That shows how
desperate the insurgents are.

“We should not play into their hands, at least
not with the life of the president.

“MURIC therefore pleads that future
movements of President Muhammadu Buhari
and that of senior government officials
around Borno State should be shrouded in
secrecy until the remnants of insurgency
have been totally eliminated.”

Nigeria Army can never be under fire from any person(s) or group(s).
Their Impunity is the highest in the world.
