Boko Haram is trying to emb@rra§§ Nigerian government but… — Chief of Defence Staff

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has said the recent b%mbing in Gwoza and Pulka towns of Gwoza LGA of Borno State, were meant to embarr@§s the government.

However, speaking in Plateau State on Monday, Musa assured that the perpetrators of such ev+l act would not succeed.

He stressed that the military are not magicians and rely on intelligence it can get from the people.

According to him, “The armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and other security agencies are working tirelessly to ensure that there is peace and security in the country.

What had happened in Gwoza shows clearly those that mean bad or evil for the country are not relenting. And so, we must continue to work hard.

It was a deliberate thing to embarr@$s the government but they would not succeed. Recently, we were able to arrest persons with IED equipment trying to blow up some installations. We will continue to work hard.

Our appeal to Nigerians is those people perpetrating this evil act are within. They sleep and live within our environment.

If we report as quickly as possible, actions would be taken. Security cannot be everywhere. We are not magicians. We also rely on intelligence we are getting from the people. That is why we call on Nigerians that the responsibility to secure Nigeria depends on all Nigerians working together with security agencies. We are committed to ensure that is achieved,” he added.
