Army denies recruiting repentant Boko Haram members

The Nigerian Army, on Sunday, declared that at no time did it enlist repentant Boko Haram members into its fold, saying a report to that effect in the media was born out of mischief.

The Army made this known following reports that a repentant Boko Haram terrorist allegedly absolved himself of the force, and gruesomely murdered his female partner.

The clarification was made in a statement by the Director of Army Public Relations, Major Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu on Sunday with the title “Re: Repented Boko Haram Member Enlisted into Nigerian Army Slits Woman’s Throat in Enugu Barracks, Hides Corpse.”.
