Reno Omokri, a former Aide to
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has blamed the acclaimed defeat of Boko Haram by
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for being responsible for the death
of Nigerian soldiers.
Omokri made the statement while
reacting to the death of Miss Saifura Hussaini Khorsa, an aid worker, by the
Boko Haram terrorists.
The former aide noted that the
claim that Boko Haram has been defeated has made soldiers to relax and
complacent, hence the reason they are being killed.
Omokri on his Twitter page wrote:
“President Buhari and the Chief of Army Staff should stop saying that Boko
Haram is “technically defeated” or “degraded”. It is untrue.
“It also gives a false sense of
security to our troops, making them drop their guard. That’s why so many
soldiers have died recently.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu
Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Monday had described the killing of the aid
worker by Boko Haram sect as heinous and despicable.
He assured that his
administration would seize, “Every given opportunity, with both hands and to
use all means available to bring home all citizens being held against their
will by the Boko Haram terrorist.”
