Authorities at the headquarters of Operation Lafiya Dole, a military counterinsurgency outfit in North-east Nigeria, Thursday, threatened to treat civilians who hide useful information about Boko Haram as terrorists.

According to a statement signed by the spokesman of counterinsurgency operation, Onyema Nwachukwu, the military “would not be kind” to those who were aware of clandestine movements of Boko Haram into communities around Maiduguri and fail to report such to the relevant security authorities.

Mr Nwachukwu, an army colonel, said the military has credible information that Boko Haram are moving into communities to “indoctrinate, recruit fresh members and asking others to vacate their homes”.

“There is credible information and evidence that in a bid to further intensify their psychological war and instil fear on the citizens, some elements of Boko Haram terrorists have infiltrated some villages in the fringes of Maiduguri city,” said Mr Nwachukwu, a deputy director, army public relations.

“They (Boko Haram) have clandestinely been going about threatening innocent residents, warning them to vacate their homes.

“So far, out of fear, several inhabitants have moved out of their ancestral homes. Consequently, we wish to inform all well meaning citizens, especially within Maiduguri metropolis and its environs to promptly report the presence of suspicious persons or avail the security agencies of information about such persons.

“Failure to report will be viewed seriously as it is tantamount to collaboration with the Boko Haram terrorists. Such compromising persons when found will be treated like the terrorists.

“Members of the public are enjoined to please cooperate and support ongoing operations to weed out the infiltrating terrorists and their sympathisers.”

Yesterday, the military had, in the wake of fresh attacks in communities around Maiduguri, shut down the Maiduguri-Kano highway from Maiduguri up to Potiskum for about seven hours, as troops led by special forces conducted a search in communities along the 235km road where Boko Haram had been carrying out attacks.

Which information again....sebi na sambisa forest book haram dey...abi dey son relocate niii

Nigerian army, only good in threatening and abusing unarmed civilians but when they see Boko Haram they are quick to abandon all and take to their heels

meanwhile some where in the east : oke no n'uno gwara oke no n'ohia na azu di na ngiga. but up there in the north they are still hiding info about boko haram till date cos they see it as means where money from oil will flow into thier area. they are not willing to end it. till today no one knows where shecow is with all the repented boko haram and all the escapee captives, and all the swap deals and all the mama boko who all have links to the sect. and even now that the sect has been factionalised yet there seems to be no end in sight. ALL they seemed able to do is to send southern soldiers to go and die in that forest of death and now send northern soldiers to kill southern civilians at the end who is losing ? the south

Yes.. Finish them all..

Useless army.Instead of them to eliminate the ones they find they keep for a clueless president to grant them amnesty only for them inturn be a thorn on their skin.

Now, they are threatening hapless citizen suffering from the effect of their stupidity.

The fifth columnists are in the military. Right from the head down to the foot soldiers, they are the ones feeding the enemies and sacrificing themselves. If there is no enemy within, Boko Haram would have been a thing of past. The army should check within their ranks first before checking without....
