The Nigerian Army has dissociated itself from groups and individuals celebrating its recent victories against Boko Haram insurgents.
The Army also advised such persons that such celebrations and solidarity rallies could distract the troops efforts against Boko Haram.
A statement released by Army spokesperson, Colonel Sani Usman, said: “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a number of groups and individuals celebrating the routing out and decimation of Boko Haram terrorists on our soil.”
“So much as we thank them for that, it is imperative to state that we do not begrudge such persons their desire to identify and associate themselves with this success.”
“However, the Nigerian Army wishes to disassociate itself from such celebrations and solidarity rallies. We also would like to advice that they should tread with caution as this could be distractive to us. The public are please informed that the terrorists are surreptitiously fanning out of their last enclaves in Sambisa to cause havoc or seek refuge elsewhere.”
“Therefore, there is need for all to be more vigilant and security conscious to enable us clear the remnants of these terrorists wherever they might flee.”
