REPORTS ON RELEASE OF BOKO HARAM FIGHTERS IN BORNO FALSE

The Nigerian Army (NA) has been notified of a media publication alleging that the NA has handed over 1009 Ex-Boko Haram fighters to Borno State government. The report also alleged that the event was shrouded in secrecy. This report, is obviously one of those attempts to dampen troops' morale and denegrate the NA, riding on the back of unsubstantiated report and misinformation.

While the NA would not want to join issues with the masterminds of this false narrative, it is important to set the records straight.

It is an indisputable fact that the ongoing Counter Terrorism Counter Insurgency Operations (CTCOIN) in the North East has led to the arrest of several terrorism/insurgency suspects. These suspects have been held in custody, while undergoing profiling and further investigations by experts from the Joint Investigation Centre (JIC) and those who are found culpable are usually handed over to prosecuting agencies accordingly, while those who are not implicated in terrorism and insurgency are cleared and released to the state government for rehabilitation before they are reintegrated into the society. These cleared suspects are therefore not ex Boko Haram fighters, as peddled in the said online report and as the masterminds would want to impress on the public. A total of 1009 cleared suspects, not ex fighters, were therefore released after this rigorous process on Wednesday 14 July 2021. It is also necessary to categorically state that the handing over of the cleared suspects was not shrouded in secrecy as it was witnessed by United Nations Humanitarian and government agencies, in tandem with global best practice.

The NA therefore urges the general public to discountenance this misinformation, as it is evidently a manipulation and distortion of the truth and reality of the event.

FTC for army thread...

Wow...

President Buhari, I need one hilux full of soldiers to be following me around

Back to the topic, I think if proper sensitisation was done prior to the release, it would have prevented this misinformation.

But Las Las, 9ja people go hardly believe anything army talk, dem don too lie

It doesn't matter. It has always been true. We all know you people will come out and deny it.
Make una rule the country as una like, the consequences dey front for una.

Foolish and stupid Fulani Army.

I’m sure they didn’t know the news will get out to the public.

They keep releasing the Boko Haram members to reinforce bandits.

But they continue to speak to Kanu and Igboho in the language they understand.

And brain-dead vulture grillers will still not smell the rat, they will continue to defend, stupidly, their darling daddy.

My happiness is that when the conflagration will come, it blaze over both sane people and zombies alike.

The Benue idiot always defended Buhari until his ancestral land was taken from him by Fulanis that massacred Agatu people.

Story for the gods.

First to cement

Smh

we all know the truth. you don't have to deny it

There is always an iota of Truth inside every rumor

Please check out my signature below

They are our brothers so there's nothing wrong if we release them.

Media media. Hmmn

I don't believe the army. Bubu can do anything to preserve his Fulani clan.

Kk

Onyema Nwachukwu! Be careful. They're using you o

Buhari has reduced the Nigerian military to mere boys scout. Rag tag terrorists and bandits take them out like chickens.

All they do is to refute and counter their loopholes and gross incompetencies.

What a show of shame.

Yes, you guys released the terrorists to continue to wreck havocs. But let it be up there in the North!

Ha ga egbufo unu ofu nwoke, ofu nwanyi n'ike ikpeazu a

Imagine a president & his Coas proudly smiling & hoisting the flag of a killer terrorist organization right in Aso-Rock villa as If na award.
If you believe this current Federal government is actually fighting Boko haram terrorists, then your brain needs to be examined.
-Sunday Igboho & Yoruba agitators are labelled TERRORISTS.
-Nnamdi Kanu & Biafra agitators are also labelled TERRORISTS.
-Pantani, Gumi, shekau & all Fulani killer jihadists are labelled BANDITS.
2023 we must get sense.

Now I'm tempted to believe it true

Always doing some kind of damage control.

No be our Nigeria Army again.?

Lies is the order of the day

Casted

The path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant.

Even if Boko boys kill 200 army, they will say na Fake News.

I knw they re going to deny it ,,their lying machine will soon defend them,which is liar Mohammed,,,,stupid and evil APC government

black man does not deserve to be independent

black man is truly an animal
calm when caged
wild when free hence he does not deserve to be free

quote me anywhere

When they deny just know its the truth.

It is well.
