Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima has reacted to allegations by Chris Olukolade, Director of Defence Information, that he and Senators from the state gave the nation’s military misleading information about the Boko Haram sect.
Responding to an enquiry by our reporter, Isa Gusau, Special Adviser to the Governor on Communications said he had read Olukolade’s interview via online links.
“First of all, Governor Shettima will not join issues with the Defence Headquarters because he has so much respect for the military as he has proved over the years in his exact words and actions,” he noted via an email.
“One of the two most wanted suspects of the Nyanya bombings placed on terrorists list has been arrested with the effort of the Interpol.’’
He said Ogwuche’s extradition back to Nigeria would commence soon for interrogation and prosecution.
Omeri also said the operation to rescue the abducted girls was being carried out by the Nigerian troops, while others were playing complimentary roles.
Marylin Ogar, spokesperson for DSS, said Nigerians should be happy that the international community had joined the operation to free the country of terrorists.
She said the mystery behind Boko Haram and the abduction of Chibok girls would soon be unravelled.
Spokesman for the police, Frank Mba, said “parading the suspects would weaken the terrorists. This will also help to demystify them.
“It will also enable the security agencies to know their modus operandi.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the other suspected mastermind, Rufai Abubakar Tsiga, is yet to be apprehended. (NAN)
