Boko Haram Terrorists Eliminated as Army Lambasts
Nigeria’s Amnesty International
Troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE on Saturday 16th December 2018
neutralised four Boko Haram terrorists and recover weapons. The
terrorists came at about 5.00pm to attack Maibukarti village along
Maiduguri-Damboa road when they were engaged by the gallant
troops.
The troops were further reinforced and went on hot pursuit of
the fleeing terrorists, while the Nigerian Air Forces provided
close air support.
Unfortunately, one soldier paid the supreme price during the
encounter with the terrorists.
The gallant troops recovered 4 AK-47 rifles, 45 rounds of 7.62mm
ammunition, 5 AK-47 rifrles magazine, 2 Motorcycles and 1 bicycles.
Other items recovered include 1 Bandolier, 1 GSM handset, 3 SIM
cards, an earpiece, some phone accessories, kolanuts, gloves and
drugs. The exploitation continues in conjunction with CJTF.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian branch of Amnesty International that has
hitherto been well respected has deviated from the core values,
principles and objectives of the original Amnesty International
domiciled in the United Kingdom. There is credible information that
the Nigerian branch of the International Non-governmental
Organisation is determined to destabilise the Nigerian nation.
This is noted through fabrication of fictitious allegations of
alleged human rights abuses against the Nigerian security forces
and clandestine sponsorship of dissedent groups to protest, as well
as unfounded allegations against the leadership of the Nigerian
military. They have tried over the years using Boko Haram
terrorists conflicts, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, some activists
and now herders-farmers conflicts.
The NGO is at the verge of releasing yet another concerted
report against the military, ostensibly against the Nigerian Army.
Consequently, Nigerians should be wary of Amnesty International
(Nigeria) because it’s goals are to destabilise Nigeria and to
dismember it. The Nigerian Army has no option than to call for the
closure of Amnesty International offices in Nigeria, if such
recklessness continues.
