PINK REPUBLIC/ MY BLOG IS A STORY MARATHON.

  The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication in a section of the media alleging that over a 100 Nigerian troops were reported to have absconded after Boko Haram attacks on Marte and Dikwa. This publication is false, unfounded and an attempt to malign the image and character of the Nigerian Army.

It was later discovered that a good number of those affected rejoined their respective units and are currently part of the ongoing clearance operations. Members of the general public are please advised to disregard the story as the subversive intent of the promoters are targeted at dampening the morale and fighting efficiency of our troops. We continually solicit especially the much needed public support in
