The Minister of Informational and National Orientation, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, while speaking to newsmen on the successes recorded by the Army in the North-East, said President Buhari will not spare any Boko Haram sponsor.
Mohammed said "The dilemma of government is how to redress the past wrong. What I want to assure you is that nobody, who is responsible for this situation either by sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing our resources, will go unpunished. That I can assure you. But we will follow due process.”
He also said that no member of the current administration is a Boko Haram sponsor.
The minister said the terrorists will be tried according to laid down laws, adding that “Our legal regime is different. I can assure you that it is not in the interest of the military to protect Boko Haram because they are the first victims of the activities of the insurgents.”
Mohammed also expressed his gratitude to the Nigerian Army for its doggedness in the fight against terrorists in the North-Eastern region of the country.
