Boko Haram: Mischief Makers Creating Panic in Bama,
Dikwa, Monguno- Army Warns
It has been observed that some unscrupulous individuals with likely
sinister motives within and outside Borno State, are trying to
create panic and unnecessary humanitarian problems for undisclosed
reasons.
It has come to our attention that these people are plotting to
instigate the inhabitants of Bama, Dikwa and Monguno communities to
abandon their communities and relocate to Internally Displaced
Persons (IDP) Camps for undisclosed reasons.
The inhabitants of these towns and the general public are please
urged to discountenance such calls and remain calm.
Theatre Command, Operation LAFIYA DOLE and other Security
Agencies will shed more light on the issue in a Security Council
meeting with the Borno State Government, scheduled to hold on
Monday 31st December 2018.
We would like to further state that there is no basis for the
people of Bama, Dikwa and Monguno to vacate their respective
communities.
However, Operation LAFIYA DOLE troops in conjunction with Borno
State Government are working towards relocating the residents of
Baga, to safer locations in view of the ongoing military operations
in the area.
Members of the public are advised to remain calm as the military
is in firm control to guarantee their safety and security. We would
like to warn that any attempt to cause further panic through this
false alarm would be viewed very seriously.
