Nigerian army denies claim of recruiting jihadists

The Nigerian Army has denied the claim of recruiting jihadists.

Condemning a viral video alleging that it recruits jihadists, Army spokesman, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu said the footage is aimed at sowing discord and causing a religious crisis in the country.

He stated that the Nigerian army remains steadfast in upholding professionalism and impartiality as an institution devoid of ethnic and religious bigotry.

“The footage also falsely portrayed an officer calling on Muslim young men to join the military to protect and propagate Islam,” Nwachukwu said.

He said the footage was targeted at “sparking palpable anxiety and fear, sowing discord and mistrust amongst our personnel” particularly among Christian and non-Muslim communities.

Major General Nwachukwu said the Army is a professional institution with operational and administrative processes as well as actions guided by the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not ethnicity or religious sentiments.

He added;

“We, therefore, urge the public to dismiss this misleading report, which evidently stems from a misconception and lack of understanding about NA’s Standing Operating Procedures (SOP).

“It is crucial to reiterate that any deviation from the NA’s SOP is met with appropriate disciplinary action, regardless of the personnel’s religious affiliation.

“We call on all citizens to rise above these divisive tactics and stand united. The strength of Nigeria lies in her unity in diversity, and it is this unique national strength and trait that the NA seeks to protect while carrying out its constitutional responsibilities. We will remain undaunted in upholding these principles in the face of any challenge.”
