The Advocates of Social Justice for All has
faulted reports claiming that the Nigerian Army recruited repentant Boko Haram
members into the military. The group made this known on Wednesday, saying it
was important to clear the air in the “outright falsehood and highly misleading
information pushed by enemies of the Nigerian state.”
In a statement signed by convener, Samuel
Adadu, the group said “such speculation is a distraction to the ongoing efforts
of the Nigerian Army in the fight against terrorism and other militant
activities in the country.” Adadu said, “To say there is no iota of truth in
the rumour that the Nigerian Army has recruited repentant Boko Haram fighters
into the Nigerian Army is an understatement.
“Instead, it is a part of a bigger plot to
cause a distraction to the on-going efforts of the Nigerian Army in the fight
against terrorism and other militant activities in the country. “The takeaway
from the rumour is that war merchants are angry that the Nigerian Military is
making considerable gains in the fight against terrorism in North-East Nigeria.
As such, they must do everything possible to cause a distraction to suit their
nefarious interests.
“It is indeed a statement of the fact that
the repentant Boko Haram members cannot in any way fit into the operational
structure of the Nigerian Army. As such, the rumour should be disregarded by
all and sundry for lacking in merit and reason.
“We wish to advise those bent in
distracting the troops engaged in clearance operations of Boko Haram remnants
in North-East Nigeria to desist from further misleading the members of the
unsuspecting general public in their ill-fated flight of fancy.”
