The
Nigerian military on Friday dismissed the Cable News Network, CNN’s
report on the army as another orchestrated campaign to smear its image.
The
CNN had aired footage of interviews with individuals claiming to be
Nigerian soldiers who said they were being frustrated in the fight
against Boko Haram.
The Director of Defence
Information, Major-General Chris Olukolade, said that the Nigerian armed
forces are without doubt committed and focused on the ongoing fight
against terror, calling the CNN report a blackmail.
General
Olukolade said, “The CNN interview and report is an unfortunate effort
to promote blackmail and smacks off an international conspiracy against
Nigeria’s national security.”
The Nigerian military spokesman
then gave a reassurance that Nigerian soldiers were working round to end
and defeat insurgency in the north-east.
