Nigerian Army Solicits Media Support To Defeat Boko Haram

Chief of Army Staff,General Tukur Buratai made the plea while declaring open a 4 day conference for media editors in Abuja. Only recently,Nigerians condemned the clamp down of an Abuja based media outfit by the military over a detailed report of its operation to retake Baga and some other towns in Borno state from the Boko Haram sect. From the military perspective according to General Buratai, such reports are inimical to national security and give undue advantage to the terrorists.
