The defence headquarters has dismissed the allegations against the Nigerian Armed Forces that it is callous, insensitive, corrupt and incompetent.

Defence spokesperson General Chris Olukolade, who stated this yesterday via his Twitter handle @GENOlukolade, while responding to questions from his followers with the hashtag #DefenceNGspeaks, insisted that the army’s men were patriotic and committed to the fight against terror.

He said, “We thank all our friends who have utilized the forum to interact with us. We assure you that we will keep this channel alive in our efforts to ensure sustained engagement with Nigerians and our friends all over the world.

“The campaign aimed at presenting the leadership of the Nigerian Armed Forces as callous, insensitive, corrupt and incompetent among many uncomplimentary descriptions is very unfair and unfortunate.

“Contrary to this misinformation, the leadership and the entire rank and file of the Armed Forces of Nigeria have remained highly patriotic and committed to ensuring the success of well-thought-out plans and operations to achieve the defeat of terror and restoration of peace and security in all parts of the country.”

The military spokesman assured that the security agencies had the necessary capacity to deliver on their mandate of securing life and property.
