A few hours ago, we reported to you that AFP shared a new video where Boko Haram leader, Shekau claimed to have captured and taken over Gwoza from the Government in Borno state and turned it into an Islamic Caliphate, see it HERE.
However, the Defence Headquarter has dismissed the claim as empty
In a statement just released, Defence spokesman, Major Gen. Chris Olukolade insisted that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country remained intact and perfect.
The statement read:
“The claim is empty. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nigerian state is still intact. Any group of terrorists laying claim to any portion of the country will not be allowed to get away with that expression of delusion and crime. Appropriate military operations to secure that area from the activities of the bandits are still ongoing”.
