Army Dismisses Allegation Of ‘Fulani Agenda’

The Army has dismissed online reports on the alleged killing of
Igbo senior officers in Fulani conspiracy as baseless and failed
attempt to sow seed of discord in the Service.

It said there is nothing like Fulani agenda in the Army.

Director Army Public Relations Brigadier General Mohammed
Yerima, described the authors of the report as enemies of peace,
adding they are deploying their rhetorics against the sovereignty
of the nation.

According to the Army: “For the umpteenth time the callous and
cowardly enemies of Nigeria’s peace and unity are at their worst
moments of divisive and subversive rhetorics against the formidable
sovereignty of our beloved nation and its patriotic Nigerian
Army.

“The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to an online
publication anchored by the online medium Opera News Official at
https://stories. 6chcdn.feednews.com with the heading “Secret
Fulani Plan Unveiled – THE COMPROMISED ARMY CHIEF.”

“Ordinarily, the Nigerian Army would have ignored this illogical
and pathetic narrative especially as it continues to record
tremendous successes in its on-going operations nation-wide under
the able leadership of the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General
Ibrahim Attahiru. Nevertheless, for the benefit and awareness of
our peace loving and patriotic citizens whom the Nigerian Army owe
a duty”.

It added: “Part of the poorly scripted article states that “Last
week, two Igbo officers, Lt Col Okeke and Lt Col Ajah alongside 44
others, predominantly Southern and Middle Belt Christian officers
lost their lives in a conspiracy hatched by Fulani senior
officers.”

“Alas, this is the dumbest narrative that has the potential for
a Guinness Book of Record. However, to put the record straight, it
should be clear that the Nigerian Army does not train, deploy or
operate along ethnic, religious, tribal or regional divides thus
the name NIGERIAN ARMY.

“In the past, several subversive elements have attempted to
infiltrate the formidable ranks of the Nigerian Army to sow seed of
discord among its personnel but failed. This is due largely to the
loyalty and belief of the Nigerian Army in one great country,
Nigeria.

“The amateurish article presented in a self-styled stages 1 – 9
in a fictitious movie like scenerio devoid of even the basic
rudiments of a news report but yet laced with potent hatred and
venom for Nigeria and its proud citizens. One can not but forgive
the illiterate writer of this article and his sponsors for refering
to the Chief of Army Staff as Lt Gen Jega (Stage 1, paragraph
1).

“Similarly, on the alleged killing of some personnel, a quick
check on the Nigerian Army personnel data base returned negative
for Lt Cols ND Okeke and Aja as there are no name matches currently
in service of the Nigerian Army who were alleged to have been
killed in a conspiracy whatever that means.

“In general, summarizing stages 4 – 9 of the uncoordinated
article exposes the real intent albeit the very low IQ of the
writers and publishers Opera News.

“They have distinguished themselves as enemies of our existence
and should be seen and treated as such.

” Furthermore, the Nigerian Army would like to request all peace
loving citizens to disregard the content of the said article by
Opera News Official in its entirety as it lacks common logic.”
