Chief
of army staff, Tukur Buratai, has blamed Boko Haram for the reports of his
assets in Dubai. The
report generated controversy last week, but the government has since absolved
the army chief of any wrongdoing.
But
speaking at a media briefing to flag-off the Nigerian army day celebration, the
number one army officer described the report as a distraction to the war
against insurgency.
“I
am not supposed to comment on this because the federal government has already
made a statement on that through the ministry of defence. But if you want my
take on the issue, it is that we have already defeated the terrorists and the
insurgents on the land, now they have migrated to the cyberspace, they have
migrated to the Internet and other electronic media and so on.
“We
want to assure them that these terrorists, the Boko Haram terrorists, who have
migrated to the cyberspace, we will follow them to that cyberspace, and equally
defeat them and clear their doubts.
We
are meeting all the terrorists in the cyberspace, we have defeated them, in the
battle ground. We are developing our own cyber warriors and we will defeat them
as we have done in the north-east.”
