The Nigerian Army has described as mere propaganda the latest video released by the Boko Haram terrorists on Tuesday.
The Army in a statement by its spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, said the release of the video by the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists was done in desperation.
The video clip contained what Usman described as “all manner of spurious assertions, denying the surrender of some of the terrorists and the killing of key key commanders, among other lies, all aimed at instilling unnecessary fears in law abiding people”.
He said although the relevant department is still analyzing the video clip, “it is sheer desperation and clear signs of fear as our troops keep closing up with them. Moreover, two other Deputies of the purported Boko Haram terrorists group leader, Afdu Kawuri and Abubakar Banishek, were killed in a successful military operation at Alafa on Sallah day, Friday 1st September 2017. This is in addition to Ba’Abba Ibrahim and 2 other Boko Haram commanders that died after sustaining injuries during their last ambush at Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno state.
“We wish to challenge the so-called terrorist leader to produce the 5 key commanders earlier killed or the video of those Ameers he claimed not dead and are still with him. It is also instructive to note that Shekau is scared and rattled by the 40-day ultimatum issued by the Chief of Army Staff to the Theatre Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE and hiding from one hole to another, like the bush rat that he really is!!!”
