The Nigerian Army has urged groups and persons celebrating the decimation of Boko Haram, to tread with caution, as the development could distract its determination to completely rout the fighters.
In a statement signed by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, the Army alerted the public to the fact, that “the terrorists are surreptitiously fanning out of their last enclaves in Sambisa to cause havoc or seek refuge elsewhere.
“It, therefore, underscored the compelling need for all to be more vigilant and security conscious to enable us clear the remnants of these terrorists wherever they might flee.”
The Army, however, “disassociate itself from such celebrations and solidarity rallies”, even as it said it was “imperative to state that we do not begrudge such persons their desire to identify and associate themselves with this success.”
