You Lied, Buratai Tells Naij.com

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, has raised the alarm that an online news portal, Naij.com, lied in one of its publications against him.The Army chief who spoke through the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, in a statement insisted that the said publication was mischievous and a great disservice to Nigeria.The statement reads: “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a news story on naij.com website with a very misleading opening paragraph. The publication is repugnant and was in great variance with all known ethics of journalism.“The choice of words as seen on the headline and the opening paragraph was done in bad faith, very mischievous and a great disservice to the nation.“There is nothing like arguing with Mr President (Muhammadu Buhari). He gave the directive and he remains resolute as can be attested by his continuous support.“It is obvious that those behind the story are out to make mischief and scuttle the fight against terrorism and insurgency in our country.“For the avoidance of doubt there is no any contradiction from what the Chief of Army Staff said and what the representative of Mr President stated and we are determined to meet up with the set deadline based on the fact that Operation LAFIYA DOLE has been receiving tremendous support from the Federal Government.”
