The Theatre Commander, North East Task Force ‘Operation Hadin Kai’ (OPHK), Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar has refuted media reports, which first appeared in Newscentral TV that Boko Haram terrorists invaded Kirawa community in Borno state and wrecked havoc last Saturday.
Recall that, apart from Kirawa in Borno, there is another Kirawa in Cameroun Republic which shares common International Border with each other.
He said, the attack took place in Kirawa community of Cameroun where Camerounian soldiers were involved, and not Nigerian troops of OPHK as insinuated.
In a short text message to Vanguard on Monday, General Abubakar said: ” Its the Cameroonian Base in Kirawa that was attacked oooh. Not Nigerian troops”.
He also shared the videos and pictures of the attack which clearly shows the operational vehicles destroyed signifies that of Camerounian troops.
The Theatre Commander therefore urged the media practitioners to always verify information on any attack from military authorities before going to press in order not to pass wrongful information to the public. End
