The Nigerian Army says it is taking steps to report Sidi Ali Mohammed, a member of Presidential Committee on the North East Initiative, to appropriate authority over his knowledge on Boko Haram welfare.
The spokesman of the army, Colonel Sagir Musa made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Musa was reacting to Mohammed’s allegation that the “terrorist group members earn as much as $3,000 daily as against the Nigerian soldier who is paid N1, 000 only.
He, however, urged Nigerians to discountenance the statement credited to Mohammed, saying steps are being taken to formally report him to the appropriate authorities to further substantiate these unfounded allegations.
Musa said that the Nigerian army’s attention was drawn to the false claim credited to Mohammed as published by the Sahara Reporters and other social media platforms.’ He said over time, the army had been alerting the world that the menace of Boko Haram terrorism was being “aided and abetted by sympathisers such as Sidi Ali Mohammed.
