| 60 Per Cent of Boko Haram Not Nigerians - Army Chief |
| 2016-11-17 |
| [All Africa] The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, on Wednesday said that judging by the current activities of the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... terrorists, 60 per cent of them are not Nigerians. Mr. Buratai, a lieutenant general, said this in Maiduguri when he received the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Mohammed Ibn Chambas, at the headquarters of the Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole at the Maimalari Cantonment. "Your Excellency, I want to bring to your attention that while the Boko Haram (insurgency) can be said to have started in Nigeria, by and large as at today, I can say that almost 60 per cent of the bully boyz are from our neighbouring countries. "You can see that almost all of the recently surrendered bully boyz are not Nigerians. "This is a challenge that impacts more on the Nigerian side than the other countries. But by and large, our military is up to the task and we will continue to do our best to ensure that our country is secured," Buratai said. He said that there was no doubt that the gunnies had been defeated but added that troops would continue with their operations until the bully boyz finally surrender. The army chief thanked the UN for identifying with Nigeria in its efforts to rout-out the gunnies and solicited additional support from the world body. |
