Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has blamed the recent killings of Nigerian soldiers by Boko Haram on the acclaimed defeat of the sect by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Omokri, the claim that Boko Haram has been defeated made soldiers to relax and feel calm about the threat the sect poses.

He made this known in reaction to the death of Miss Saifura Hussaini Khorsa who was killed by the sect.

Taking to Twitter, Omokri wrote:

“President Buhari and the Chief of Army Staff should stop saying that Boko Haram is “technically defeated” or “degraded”. It is untrue.

“It also gives a false sense of security to our troops, making them drop their guard. That’s why so many soldiers have died recently.”

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Monday had described the killing of the aid worker by Boko Haram sect as heinous and despicable.

He assured that his administration would seize, “Every given opportunity, with both hands and to use all means available to bring home all citizens being held against their will by the Boko Haram terrorist.”
