The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has dismissed trending report on social media that no fewer than 500 citizens were abducted by terrorists, in Zamfara State, insisting that the reported figure is fictitious.

Major General Edward Buba, Director Defence Media Operation, in a statement on Friday, said that four persons and not 500 were abducted by the terrorists as propagated on the social media to make mountain out of anthill.

He said: “Troops are compelled to deal with two realities. The virtual reality as well as the reality on the ground. The virtual reality which is mostly on social media is more of fictitious figures and extreme exaggeration of the situation on the ground.
For instance, it is fictitious and over exaggerated to state that over 500 people were abducted by terrorist, while in reality troops can confirm that four persons were abducted”.

Gen. Buba recalled that same was experienced during the Kuriga abduction during which the figures brandished were much higher than those truly abducted.

On the issue of rotation or overstayed troops in operational area, he said, “It is no news that, the current military leadership upon assumption of office addressed several of these issues. In fact, both issues were prioritised in line with enhancing troops welfare and administration. Accordingly, on the ground, troops continue to demonstrate stamina, resolve and strong desire to remain focused and stay the course until the enduring defeat of the terrorist and their cohorts”.

Stressing that the military admits that there is still a lot of work ahead to better secure citizens and protect them from acts of terror, Gen Buba noted that efforts are ongoing to better the cooperation with the Zamfara State Community Protection Guard.

Efforts, he added, are ongoing to better secure the citizens in their farmlands with the set in of the rainy season.

“There is also a lot more ongoing, which is better left unsaid due to ongoing operations in the area. Overall, we are in a good and strong position in this war against the terrorist with many terrorist leaders killed. We are making them pay a much heavier price than we have been forced to pay,” he said.

The Director also explained that troops of Op HADARIN DAJI which covers the NW of the country are actively fighting and conducting ongoing operations in and around Zurmi LGA of Zamfara State.

He noted that troops are fighting a vicious enemy in a complex combat environment in which several factors are at interplay both on and off the battlefield.
