The Nigerian Army says it is taking steps to report Dr. Sidi Ali Mohammed, a member of Presidential Committee on the North East Initiative, to appropriate authority over his alleged knowledge of Boko Haram welfare.

The spokesman of the Army, Col. Sagir Musa, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

Musa was reacting to Mohammed’s allegation that the “terrorist group members earn as much as $3,000 daily, as against the Nigerian soldier who is paid N1,000 only for the same duration.’’

Musa was reacting to Mohammed’s allegation that the “terrorist group members earn as much as $3,000 daily, as against the Nigerian soldier who is paid N1,000 only for the same duration.’’


He, however, urged Nigerians to discountenance the statement credited to Mohammed, saying, “steps are being taken to formally report him to the appropriate authorities to further substantiate these unfounded allegations.’’

Musa said that the Nigerian Army’s attention was drawn to the “false claim credited to Mohammed, as published by an online platform” and some social media.

The Nigerian Army says it is taking steps to report Dr. Sidi Ali Mohammed, a member of Presidential Committee on the North East Initiative, to appropriate authority over his alleged knowledge of Boko Haram welfare.

The spokesman of the Army, Col. Sagir Musa, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

Musa was reacting to Mohammed’s allegation that the “terrorist group members earn as much as $3,000 daily, as against the Nigerian soldier who is paid N1,000 only for the same duration.’’


He, however, urged Nigerians to discountenance the statement credited to Mohammed, saying, “steps are being taken to formally report him to the appropriate authorities to further substantiate these unfounded allegations.’’

Musa said that the Nigerian Army’s attention was drawn to the “false claim credited to Mohammed, as published by an online platform” and some social media.


“In it, he alleged that the criminal terrorist group members earn as much as $3,000 daily, as against the Nigerian soldier who is paid N1,000 only.

“This is not true, pure lie and highly irresponsible comment coming from a supposedly knowledgeable person of his calibre.

“It is also criminal and preposterous to compare the gallant soldiers of our Armed Forces with the ragtag terrorist criminal gang.
The Army spokesman alleged that Mohammed’s statement could be part of a deliberate attempt to demoralise patriotic troops serving their fatherland so that the terrorists can take advantage of it.

“It is also a way of swaying the gullible youths to believe the lies of Boko Haram terrorists,’’ Musa added.

He, however, assured Nigerians that the Army would remain resolute and focused in the fight against terrorism and insurgency, adding, “No amount of distraction or terrorists’ propaganda will dissuade it.’’
Mohammed had lamented that Boko Haram has been hijacked and operates like a cartel.

“I will give you an example. The Nigerian military, for example, gets N1,000 per day for being in the Northeast, at the war front, as an allowance — the same Northeast, where if you are a member of Boko Haram you get $3,000 per day, as allowance. So it is lucrative.
Sometimes, they even give you money upfront. So, we must do something about the youths from where they are recruiting,” Mohammed was quoted to have said.

Am administration that doesn't like any statement that doesn't support its fascist agenda. Tueh!

Next thing he will come out with proof and they will sing a new song

That statement is recruitment

That man needs to be arrested if needs be, because many youths may have been deceived by that statement to begin planning on how to join BH to cash out big and then flee, which unknown to them would be impossible.
