Army Denies 'Killing & Secret Burial Of 1000 Nigerian Soldiers' by AllGists(op): 6:15pm On Aug 01, 2019
The Defence headquarters has described as false, the story by The Wall Street Journal which accused its officers of burying a thousand dead soldiers in secret graves, to avoid bad publicity. The American medium had reported that soldiers are being buried in unmarked graves in Borno State, after the army suffers defeat from Boko Haram.

But Defence spokesman, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu released a statement saying: “This insinuation can only emanate from an uninformed position of the author of the said publication. Therefore, it must be unambigously clarified that the Armed Forces of Nigeria does not indulge in secret burials, as it is sacrilegious and a profanity to extant ethos and traditions of the Nigerian military.”

He insists fallen heroes are honoured in befitting military funeral of international standard, featuring funeral parade, and solemn prayers.

Atiku surprised me in all honesty to have responded to such rumour. When he knows the implications of such on the country Security. Insecurity doesn't know opposition, Afenifere leader that lost his daughter to insecurity is a major critics of Buhari government but after all noise all over, is Buhari leave the seat. We should work together to ensure adequate security for our life and family.

There is something fishy from the response of the Military. Wall Street Journal is a reputable organisation. The response from the Military is too weak. I expect them to come hard on the Newspaper and initiate diplomatic actions to call the Newspaper to Order.

Legendary liars, if they can deny that they didn't try to rig election for Amaechi during the last election then they can deny anything.

Many Nigerians were born stupid, 1000 men out of 100k active men died yet no single Nigerian raised alarm, except for fake news western media and thier anonimous source.

If not for trump debunking the big media companies, they are ready to feed any dunce false news.

That was how they fustrated dull Jonathan for rejecting homosexuality, they started with a report of Army been reckless in handling boko haram and been inhumane, amnesty international also fabricated many propaganda, and just like that US goverment stopped selling arms to us, while unknown helicopters brought arms for boko haram


Same Western manipulators that said 98 million people or 1 out of 3 Nigerians can't live on $1.8¢ a day, meaning 1 out of three Nigerians cant afford 500 to survive in a day, yet we use internet, eat best thailand rice,import from asia every and anything
well some local idiots would believe any white supremacist propaganda...

Believe the Nigerian army at your peril. The way they lie and the manner they lie is simply beyond compare. They lie and lie like they expect to get gold medal for it on judgement day. Even if someone went there and dug up the corpses they will lie again and change their story.
If the Nigerian army told me Jesus is the son of God, I would ask for a copy of his birth certificate and a sworn testimony from the midwife and doctor on duty on the delivery night before even thinking of believing them.

Re: Army Denies 'Killing & Secret Burial Of 1000 Nigerian Soldiers' by jchioma:
Under General Buhari, the Nigeria army has gone to the doldrums.

There is general apathy, lack of morality and integrity. It's a pity really that a once respected institution has become a shadow of itself under a so called general and his band of political soldiers.
