They did not bury them secretly, but loosing a thousand soldiers in less than a year, which they did not deny, is sacrilegious and I think someone should resign or be impeached and everyone involved be prosecuted and made to face the full wrath of the law.

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.

This denial is so weak and discredits nothing

Why didn't they threaten the wallstreet journal with legal action? Because they know the newspaper will show the world irrefutable proof

Wallstreet journal is one of the most respected newspapers in the world for the last 80 years

They don't publish false stories

Nigeria army are a bunch of liars

post=80843517:
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 internation[b][/b]al standard, featuring funeral parade, and solemn prayers I don’t know if the story is true or not but surely know that the highlighted is a lie.

Do people even have an idea what 1000 is?


How many trailers?

What of the relations of the deceased, would they keep quiet?

The amount of fake news in Nigeeia is enough to pull the entire country down.

Everything about APC is Denied. Fuel subsidy they denied it. Islamizing the country, denied. Minimum wage again denied. We are use to it eee! We just hopefully believed that one day Buhari will not deny being Nigeria President.

This is t a rumor the wAllstreet journal never ever publish rumors

For over 80 years they built a reputation for facts backed with proof

Do you think wall street journal is your Nigerian newspapers? Maybe you don't know about that newspaper please use Google

If the Nigerian army are confident let.them threaten legal action!

They won't because they know how wall street journal rolls , once you refute their story and threaten legal a room they will publish the proof that can't be disputed

When I was in maiduguri two months ago I had heard this rumor of army using trucks at night to carry dead bodies and I thought it was a rumor

Now I read this it makes sense

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.

YES! But who exactly counted the Soldiers to Conclude they are 1000? That is a whole lot of people. If they said 20 - 35 it might be believable.. But from 90 to 150 is difficult to believe not to talk of 1000.. Think about it. That's a whole lot of people, I mean who is keeping track? You can't really hide that many numbers of people no matter how much you try. The rumours would start filtering out... Others would believe that could be their faith if they die in battle.. Another thing is that the Army has always buried their Dead with public knowledge, so what could be their reason for doing this in secret? And how can it be secret if more than two people know? Cos one person cannot be doing all that burial of 1000 people in secret. Yes the Army's response wasn't strong enough, yet its hard to believe the news even if it is coming from a reputable news paper

As if we expected them to admit the truth after claiming technical victory over boko haram. The numerous lies of this illegitimate govt will be the catalyst that will end this bloody regime.

But you speak without reasoning.

Simple queation:

How did they establish the count of 1000?

Could 1000 members of any entity pass on without next of kin making a fuss?

What transported the 1000 to the burial site?

Where were they initially, a morgue?

What evidence does the WSJ have ?

Should we believe everything that comes from a source regardless of how often they may be right?

Think for a minute.

There's a reason you have a brain.

I would strictly caution you not be rude and put your point
for forward after reading and comprehending

If you read the article you would see that this secret burial routine began over a year ago

Secondly I handle contracts in the north east and was in maiduguri and spent nights with military personnel whom all made subtle.remarks at intending desertion and when I Inquired why they all made a comment stating that if you are sent to the fap (front assualt point ) you just might never return.. I asked repeatedly why they all nervously refused to give a direct answer , I heard rumors of trucks moving at night but paid no attention to it .

You are too young and uninformed to speak without proper information. I suggest you learn to speak to elders and focus on your studies

The military is at its lowest ebb in the history of this nation. This is what happens when rank and files are filled with hand picked individuals, who knows someone in high places, the Nigerian army does not know how to conduct proper military burial, cannot perform a perfect class act parade. Can’t engage a group of rag tag Islamists from the Maghreb in proper military warfares,because it’s ranks and file are filled with illiterates who can’t read tactics and formation during combat. How do you expect Emeka or Ayo to communicate with Isa who doesn’t understand the English word “GO”? All they do is keep lying to themselves. There are so many mass graves in maidugri where soldiers were buried in large numbers with no proper military etiquette observed. One day, we will unearth all they think they have hidden from us and try and court martial all those who played with the lives of our brothers fighting this useless war. So many families can reach their loved ones for the past three years now and the army has no tangible explanation to give, whenever I see the way westerners and some African countries handle the remains of their troops, I feel sad for this country

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.

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
