*Boko Haram: Buratai never sought spiritual backing, civil rights lawyer rubbishes reports*

A civil rights lawyer, Emmanuel Osuagwu Ugochukwu, has dismissed reports by some section of the media which claimed Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt Gen Tukur Buratai called for prayers to end insurgency.

The Punch Newspaper had painted a scenario, falsely quoting the COAS as saying “terrorism and terrorist groups could not be eliminated alone by the military unless religious bodies and organisations in the country come to the forefront of the spiritual battle”.

This trailed a spiritual warfare seminar at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre on Monday, with the theme, ‘Countering insurgency and violent extremism in Nigeria through spiritual warfare.’

However, in a press statement titled “critics of Army Chief goofed over suggestion to fight insurgency spiritually”, Mr Ugochukwu rubbished such report with the sole intent of propagating “mischief”.

According to the legal practitioner, the COAS never in anyway suggested using spiritualism to fight insurgency rather called on religious leaders to support the Nigerian Army in eradicating ideologies fuelling insurgency in the country.

Mr Ugochukwu, therefore, urged Nigerians to ignore such misleading reports, especially at a time the Nigerian troops are coasting to victory.

My attention has been dawn to a sensational headline in THE PUNCH NEWSPAPER publication of October 1 2019 titled “Knocks as Buratai seeks prayers to defeat Boko Haram”.

According to the PUNCH NEWSPAPER , “The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has said terrorism and terrorist groups could not be eliminated alone by the military unless religious bodies and organisations in the country come to the ‘forefront of the spiritual battle.’

According to the PUNCH, Buratai stated these on Monday in Abuja at a spiritual warfare seminar at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, with the theme, ‘Countering insurgency and violent extremism in Nigeria through spiritual warfare.’

Now, if not for mischief, how does the headline justify the goal of the seminar organized by the Nigerian Army yesterday? How does the entire speech of the Army Chief amount to seeking prayers to fight a physical war as portrayed by the PUNCH?

The speech by the Army Chief, though represented by the CHIEF OF ARMY ADMINISTRATION Major Gen S.M YUSUF, never in anyway suggested using spiritualism to fight insurgency in the war front. Rather The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, called on religious leaders to support the Nigerian Army in eradicating ideologies fuelling insurgency in the country.

What the Army Chief stated clearly was that aside eliminating the insurgents in the battlefield their ideologies must also be killed spiritually. Ideology is not a physical realm, it is a thought process and you do not kill ideas or ideology by physical war.

In essence the PUNCH PUBLICATION of OCTOBER 1 2019 was an attempt to portray the Army Chief as suggesting the use of spiritualism in the actual battle field and thus try to tarnish his image.

Nigerians are urged to ignore the unpatriotic and sensational headline of PUNCH NEWSPAPER as no where in the entire speech did the Army Chief suggest that spiritual method will now be used to fight in the battle field. Such publications are thus misleading.

It's a lie! !!


Punch newspaper is right!!

Una need cele power to defeat dem

If they deny anything, its true.

This nwanne'm should better leave this lying government to do their damage control by themselves because no be today they started to tell sensational lies.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian military truly need spiritual assistance now to defeat their technically defeated BH because their demonic propaganda have failed.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but might through God to the pulling down of strong holds.

Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God,& bringing into captivity every thought to the obedie nce of Christ."(1 Corinthians 10:4-5)

You are very stupid.

I'm sorry that's not what I meant.

Only stupid and mad people say what they don't mean.

Seek medical help as you are sick.

Get well soon.

Wondering why the Army will deny seeking spiritual help. It's quite obvious that Boko Haram is operating with sophisticated weapons and receiving huge sponsorship while the army is still using the weapons bought by Shehu Shagari.
The army and government are corrupt. There is absolutely nothing they can do but to look for supernatural help.

Baba God na for your hand we deh

If you want to know authentic true news.

Wait for the stance of APC led FG.

Any version of any story they abide by is the false one.

As a goat can't bark, FG is incapable of truthful answers.

So once they deny anything, just know its the raw truth.

Clown incompetent liars.

No b wetin we wan hear be this so how much them allocate for the spiritual Prayer so I can apply...
