Don't Go Near Sambisa Forest- Military Warns Journalists
Category: Boko Haram News
The Nigerian Military have warned Journalists to desist from entering
Chibok, where 234 girls were kidnapped as well as security conscious
areas, as “any unsavory outcome of such movement” will not be blamed on
the military.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Defense spokesman, Major General Chris Olukolade.
According to him “The Defense Headquarters has noted the presence of a
large number of tourists, journalists and adventurers of diverse
interests moving about in areas where security operations are currently
ongoing especially in Adamawa and Borno States without the necessary
security cover or clearance. This trend constitutes unnecessary risk to
the persons especially the foreigners involved. It is also an undue
obstruction to operations,”
He stated that though the military has nothing to hide in their
operations, people visiting the area should know that there are
operational areas, while promising to protect people whose movement is
“duly vetted and in line with development in the security situation on
ground in particular mission area”.
“Much as the military has nothing to hide and believes in the freedom
of movement in the country. Anyone violating the existing procedures
for coverage or movement in the mission area does so at his or her own
peril as the security forces should not be held responsible for any
unsavoury outcome of such movement. The general public is hereby
informed that obstructive, suspicious or risky movement of visitors will
not be condoned in any mission and operational area in the country,
Chris warned
