DHQ tackles Katsina gov over claims military benefiting from terrorism

“In the light of the aforementioned statement of His Excellency, the Governor of Katsina State, the AFN elects not to trade words with the state governor but rather would encourage him to approach the military high command to substantiate his allegations. “

Buba stated that the military remained “unperturbed by such statements capable of demoralising or dampening the spirit of troops in operational theatres.”

“Rather, we will continue on the trajectory of conducting operations as well as working assiduously in the fight against terrorism.

“It is worthy of note to state that, the AFN led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa OFR, has zero tolerance for indiscipline and any form of criminality in the conduct of operations across the country. It is for this reason that there are standing court martials to treat any form of misbehaviour by troops especially those that portray the military negatively to the general populace,” he said.

Buba said, “Overall, the Armed Forces is for Nigerians and as such citizens are urged to own it and also report any credible observed bad conduct within the ranks so that they can face the appropriate military justice system.”
