‘President will deal with Boko Haram sponsors,’ Lai Mohammed

Mohammed also expressed his gratitude to the Nigerian Army for its doggedness in the fight against terrorists in the North-Eastern region of the country.

 

The Minister of Informational and National Orientation, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, while speaking to newsmen on the successes recorded by the Army in the North-East, said President Buhari will not spare any Boko Haram sponsor.

Mohammed said "The dilemma of government is how to redress the past wrong.  What I want to assure you is that nobody, who is responsible for this situation either by sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing our resources, will go unpunished.  That I can assure you.  But we will follow due process.”

He also said that no member of the current administration is a Boko Haram sponsor.

The minister said the terrorists will be tried according to laid down laws, adding that “Our legal regime is different. I can assure you that it is not in the interest of the military to protect Boko Haram because they are the first victims of the activities of the insurgents.”
