The Nigerian Army has debunked reports that Boko Haram terrorists are better equipped than Nigerian soldiers, dismissing them as propaganda and psychological warfare against troops.
In a statement, Army spokesman, Brigadier-General Sani Kukasheka Usman that most of the false allegations being levelled against the army were based on selfish and mostly political reasons by unpatriotic elements.
“In spite of extant rules, these groups of persons discuss highly classified military issues which they are mostly ignorant about on various media platforms.
“Indeed, those who should know better are the ones perpetrating these acts.
The Army Spokesman added that military equipment and welfare were known issues in the Nigerian army but that when such problems were observed, “appropriate steps are taken to remedy them.’’
