Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Leo Irabor has condemned the alarming increase in cases of military personnel ‘aiding and abetting’ terrorists and bandits in the country.
The Army chief made this known in a letter sent to all commanders of various operations, which was exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters.
In the letter, Irabor asked the commanders to sensitise their officers to the implication of collaborating with the enemy.
He lamented over the incident of a who soldier was arrested by a covert Intelligence Team for conniving with a confirmed terrorist informant known as Babagana Kura in Bama LGA, Borno State.
“The arrests of these personnel are indicative of inside action that has continued to aid the adversary, pertinently with immediate or potential impact on operations,” he said.
Recall that Lance Corporal Abdullahi Jibrin who is an instructor with the Nigerian Army battalion in Geidam, Yobe State committed suicide after he was arrested for allegedly conniving with Boko Haram insurgents who attacked Yobe communities recently.
