The Nigeria army on Monday said some of its officers are plotting to distract the fight against insurgency, which “is at a critical stage”. According to Sani Usman, army spokesman, some officers in collaboration with unnamed individuals, have scheduled December to begin a media onslaught against the army. He alleged that there was a deliberate plot to ridicule leadership of the force through lies and fabrication.

Appealing to the media to ensure that reports are verified before being published, Usman said: “Our doors are open for clarification, inquiries and reactions on any issue concerning the Nigeria army before filing or publishing such stories”. “The Nigeria army has received report of some elements both within the army and outside, especially through the use of the social media circle, to ridicule the Nigerian army and the person of the chief of army staff for reasons best known to them,” the statement read. “They intend to execute this plan as from next month, December 2015, using all means possible; lies, fabricating baseless stories, falsehood, publishing and broadcasting them through some designated print and electronic media, most especially the social media. “The Nigerian army has identified some of the officers involved and their collaborators.

The officers are being investigated to unravel their motive and motivation. The public and the media are please requested to be careful and wary of these disgruntled persons. They should please disregard any such material from them. “The Nigerian army holds the media in high esteem. The Nigerian media is one of the best in the world and have consistently been partners in progress and very supportive, understanding and cooperative with the Nigeria army especially in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. This at times comes at the risk of their personal safety and corporate existence. “The role of the media in nation building and conflict resolution, peace building and social responsibility is never in doubt. They have proven to be very important stakeholders in our collective efforts to restore peace and stability in our great nation. “With this and so many other things, the media, especially the online publications, should not be involved or lured into such dubious campaign. “It is imperative to note that the fight against Boko Haram terrorists is at critical stage, any attack on the Nigerian army will be counter-productive and serious distraction on the fight against terrorism and insurgency.

More so, as we are busy trying to defeat Boko Haram terrorists based on the given presidential mandate. “Consequent upon this, we are calling on all Nigerians not to fall prey to their campaign of calumny. This is because their evil intents would be distractive and capable of reversing the gains on the fight against Boko Haram terrorists. “Therefore, all hands must be on deck to ensure the defeat of Boko Haram terrorists and safety of lives and property in our country before the end of the year.”

As if they just realized that Boko haram has since infiltrated Nigerian army and using its officers to arm themselves while leaking out operational details to enable Boko haram defeat the Nigerian army.

Yes, they just found out! Who is fooling who?

My gallant officers,kindly expose all the lies and deceit of the current army leadership.Your exposure of the missing soldiers is what is getting them awry!! Do not abandon the struggle!! The army shall be free!!The missing soldiers must be returned.

Get the bad elements among the NA and send them to journey of no return.

.

Catch them and roast them Abeg

Why not stand up to those bad elements, arraign them and if found guilty, prosecute them?

LWKMD...He was practically licking the balls of journalists right there. "Can nigeria survive the information Age?" This should be a thesis for mass communication students.

SMH. Buhari and his team have never gotten anything right

D real hardened truth abt NA n boko haram issue is abt to b unveiled to da public n ds man is here trying to cover it up b4 it emerges. when d truth starts popping up, he ll run to d media with, "didn't I tell u" stories.

I see the army struggling so hard to cover the truth.




Journalists/bloggers/forumists please don't hesitate to expose any corrupt act of the army.


Don't fret.

This is not new why are they shouting now? This is the same way they frustrated GEJ'S effort. Siting here singing "What a mighty God will serve "

Hmmm.

General Baba Suwe
Oloriburukuu
your father

This is what you get when you recruit on quota system. When you have somebody like Buhari without WASC and he rose to the position of a general.
They should better stop pre-empting excuses for not meeting up on their Dec deadline.

burantashi!
tiyin buru oo

Another way of saying we cannot meet up with the deadline we set by ourselves again

The target of APC government is to buy over all media houses and bloggers so that to keep Nigerians in dark as par what is happening. My happiness is there is an extent they can go.There are things they cannot hide,for example, can they tell a common man that there is no fuel scarcity?No. Can they tell a common man there are jobs everywhere in Nigeria?NO. Can they tell a common man the price of garri and other food stuffs has come down? NO. The military has towed the same line with APC forgetting that the soldiers have families,we will always have access to the truths.

lie Mohammad met with bloggers in lagos and begs them now army spoke man is begging now but it is too late APC started it all by using propaganda to win vote but law of karma is a bleeping bich

It seems as if you are one of those disgruntled elements outside collaborator.
We are aware of you and your ilks negative antics to rubbish anything good about this present administration even to the extent of supporting allegedly criminal personalities. But i bet you, your propaganda and campaign of calumny is so cheap and infantile lacking tacts and skills that can only appeal to same disgruntled gullible minds.

I smell a big rat in this publication. why would the Nigeria army involve in such media PR such has this, rather than just wait for the bad elements to make their claims and they provide us with the truth.

from the first paragraph I sensed propaganda

APC government

This is real uwa mmebi/ opin aye.

Naija military na the weakest. They'll soon be blown up like bazooka!

Thank God you gave them the power @GEJ

Nah so deadline easy to meet?... Just d way US and British forces met d deadline on Alqaeda in Iraq, or Taliban in Afghanistan, right?

Some people have no clue about counter insurgency. I think people should read more on unconventional warfare or guerrilla warfare. These kind of wars hardly end...thats just d bitter truth.

Giving excuses in advance?

so what you saying is that the guy that promised to end insurgency within 3 months if assuming office was stoopid to say so? or we that demand he keeps to his word are stoopid?

my friend stop being a stooge demand that our politicians keep to their promises and stop deceiving people like you

On the contrary, I think it's pple like u who expect others to keep unrealistic promises that politicians deceive.

You can also ask Obama, Putin, Hollande and other world leaders why they haven't ended terrorism in the world....the answer is simple, unconventional warefare is not the type that works with promises and deadlines.

Thank you, who's next?

The NA has the capacity and capability to FISH and FERRET out the saboteurs from amongst them. The Directorate of Military Intelligence should get cracking by making sure that military personnels whose loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria is questionable should not be sent to the frontline.
The press should apply circumspection in the way and manner press statements are issued because we are in a state of WAR and we must show loyalty and commitment to the REPUBLIC.
