The Acting Director,
Defence Information, Brig.-Gen Rabe Abubakar, who spoke yesterday, said the
video was the same the terrorist group used in 2014.
He said: “It was the same
video they used in 2014; this time around, they removed Shekau from it. This is
cut and paste of an old video to make it look like new. Anything is possible in
technology.
The Military yesterday
dismissed a new video released by militant Boko Haram sect, showing thousands
of its members at three different locations during the Sallah celebration. But
the military dismissed the video as “cut and paste”, saying it is a complete
sign of weakness and it poses no threat to Nigerians.
Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubaka
said..
“The only ground the Boko Haram Terrorists
(BHT) can go into and hide and pretend to be alive is the social media because
it is everybody’s home without tracing the source.
“I believe the issue of the
group is near ending by the special grace of God, The video is a complete sign
of weakness and poses no threat to us.
“The so-called video is an
attempt by the remnants to remind us that there was once Boko Haram elements.
Empty vessels make the loudest noise.”
The Defence spokesman also
said that the issue of the threat to President Muhammadu Buhari from the video
is “complete joke.”
Describing the video as “a
total washout”, Abubakar reinforced the troops’ commitment to the eradication
of the insurgency in the Northeast.
“Issue of threat to PMB
(President Muhammadu Buhari) is a complete joke and the dream of the century,
therefore the entire clip is a washout. Everybody is appreciative of our feat
against BHT, no doubt about it and they know too.
“We reiterate our total
commitment and resilience in stamping them out, people shouldn’t be deceived by
their use of photoshop,” the military spokesman said.
we are hopeful continue the good job
