NGOs Providing Logistics Support to Boko Haram Terrorists, Army Claims

The Nigerian Army has again accused some Non-Governmental Organisations operating in the North East of breaching security and sabotaging ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the zone.

The army spokesman said that preliminary investigations revealed that the Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram had been receiving “humanitarian support of food and drugs supplies from some NGOs operating in the North East.”

He, therefore, warned the affected NGOs to “desist from compromising Nigeria’s national security and war efforts against terrorism.”

He further warned, “The Nigerian army will no longer tolerate such acts of sabotage inimical to the fight against terrorism by any organisation or agency, and will not hesitate to sanction any such recalcitrant organisation as appropriate.”

NAN reports that in December 2018, the army suspended the operations of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund in the North-East theatre until further notice.
