Boko Haram an International Conspiracy to Split Nigeria – Army

Boko Haram an International Conspiracy to Split Nigeria – Army.

The Nigerian Army has said that the Boko Haram attacks are an international conspiracy to “cut Nigeria to size” and to destabilize the peace of the country.

Col Sagir Musa, the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, stated this, claiming that there are some international paymasters sponsoring Boko Haram. Musa stated this in an article he shared on social media and with journalists.

The army spokesman said:

 “The recent killing of our people on a rice farm in Borno State was unexpected, inhuman, cowardly, dastardly and sadistic cruelty by the Boko Haram terrorists. There is no normal human being that will take pleasure in such inhuman massacre of defenseless and armless civilians, working on their farms; but that is the nature of terrorism and those who sponsor it”.

“There is an international conspiracy to cut Nigeria to size and compromise national renegades making attempts to destabilise and dismember Nigeria if possible in subservience to the international paymasters; who are the owners of Boko Haram.They train them, arm them, finance them and supply their logistics.

“Without this treacherous international support of Boko Haram; they would have since been defeated. Yet, we can defeat them through our unity and unflinching support and encouragement of our security forces, particularly the military.”
