"It's mere propaganda"- Nigerian Army reacts to new videos of Boko Haram commanders threatening to attack Abuja

The Nigerian Army has reacted to the newly released video of Boko Haram terrorists threatening to blow up the country's capital, Abuja. In a press statement issued by the Nigerian Army spokesman, he stated categorically that the recent Boko Haram Video released is  mere propaganda. The statement reads;
The attention of Nigerian Army has been drawn to two video clips released by one of the released Boko Haram terrorists in exchange for the abducted Chibok school girls.  In the first clip the terrorist, among other things, made boastful and spurious allegations, while the second clip was about alleged indoctrination of some of the abducted Chibok school girls in captivity.  We wish to state that the terrorist has lost touch with current realities.  

It was aimed at seeking relevance and attention. As you are all aware, he was a direct beneficiary of the process that led to the release of 82 of the abducted girls, and does not have a say or capacity to do anything, therefore his threats should be ignored. 

We would like to assure the public that the Nigerian Army is totally committed to the Federal Government’s determined efforts of rescuing all abducted persons and peace in the country.  We will not relent our determined efforts of clearing the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists as manifested through the ongoing clearance operations.  

The Nigerian Air Force is unrelenting in its bombardment while other Security Agencies are equally doing their best.  Therefore, we wish to solicit for more support, cooperation and understanding of the public, particularly members of the Press.  

We should not give in to terrorists propaganda and empty threats. We have come to a very critical stage of the fight against terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria that require more patriotism and security consciousness by all and sundry.  Gone were the days when people glamorize terrorists and their criminal acts

Whether it be a potential or empty threat, all what we need from the armed forces are skill, security and professionalism as well as alertness.

My anger with boko goats is that attacking Abuja means attacking innocent citizens instead of the koko masters. Abeg army pls wipe them out.

It is not a propaganda. It's for real. Abuja is just a decoy. Lagos is the real target. Lagos be ALERT!

They were released and they are plannimg attacks. So whats the fuss alla about? It is now difficult to differentiate who is who. And i am wondering who made the release above

If truly 82 girls were swapped for boko haram soldiers, this threat won't be in play. Wars are man-made to commit fraud. This implies that, in the name of fighting insurgents, politicians and top military brass will eat well. Shekau has 4 reincarnations . Another well played season film
