Don’t glorify terrorists, treat them as criminals, Buratai warns

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai has warned against further glorification of the Boko Haram Terrorists, asserting that they should be treated purely as criminals.He said increased propaganda for the terrorists by the media and some people have emboldened them to carry out criminal activities against the people.

Buratai, who described the undue publicity given to the terrorists as worrisome, lamented that “the development has further boosted the image of the criminal gang thus assuming larger than life status.” Consequently, referring to such gang of criminals, bandits, insurgents such as Boko Haram Terrorists Group, JAS or ISWAP in Nigeria could amount to supporting or encouraging terrorism, Buratai added.

“He pleaded that as peace loving people, Nigerians should not be glorifying these criminals by calling them by any name other than “criminals,” “rapists,” “kidnappers”, “armed robbers” and “murderers.”

DefenceInfoNG HQNigerianArmy Rubbish. Who is glorifying terrorist? Those that broadcast their activities or those (government and security officials) that released captured terrorist and integrated them into the society.

That’s why it is wrong when you pardon Bokoharam and killer herdsmen.
