The Nigerian Army has said that the responsibility to reveal the identity of sponsors of Boko Haram terrorists is not shouldered on them.

This was said by the Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, John Enenche, during a press briefing.

Enenche revealed that the responsibility of the Army is to fight terrorism and other criminal acts.

He said that the responsibility of revealing the identity of sponsors is shouldered on the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Services (DSS).

“It is not the duty of the military to uncover the sponsors.

“Our duty is to remain in the frontline and defeat terrorism and other criminality and that is what we are doing.

“We have the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Security (DSS). It is their responsibility to gather intelligence on the sponsors of the terrorists and not the military,” Enenche maintained.
