The Nigerian military has raised concern over
careless talks and undue exuberance by some
individuals from the military of neighbouring
countries involved in the Multinational Joint Task
Force, MJNTF, which have the implication of
destabilising the spirit of the joint efforts against
terrorism within the sub-region.

Reacting to a purported statement in some media by
officials from the MJTF that troops from Niger and
Chad made deep incursions into Nigerian territory to
battle Boko Haram elements, the Director Defence
Information, Major General Chris Olukolade, advised
that it was necessary for officers from participating
countries to beware of the terms they use while
speaking with the press and also understand the
implications of those terms.
According to him, “The location in question has to be
mentioned before one can confirm whether it is part
of an assigned or authorised mission or an incursion
as described. This campaign against terror only
makes provision for collaboration and cooperation;
not incursion into territories. I think there is a
careless use of terms by some inexperienced people
or officials eager to make impression without
understanding the implications. There’s no allowance
for incursion here.
“The truth is that there were some pre-emptive
manoeuvres along an axis in the theatre. Nigerian
forces were also involved. It is unfortunate if that is
what this young man is reporting in this false and
divisive way. He may have to be called to order to
stop this exuberant attitude of misinforming people
as this is not good for our collective efforts. We will
take this up where it matters.”
