The Federal Government of Nigeria has rejected the alleged
appointment of a new Boko Haram leader, describing it as a cheap propaganda,
reports ITRealms.
Reports have it that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has appointed a
new leader for Boko Haram in the name of Abu Musab Al-Barnawi.
Reacting to the announcement, the Federal Government through
the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, dismissed the appointment,
saying it is too late to employ such tactics to revive the defeated Nigerian
terrorist organization.
He told members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE)
attending the 2016 Annual Conference of Editors (ANEC) in Port Harcourt, on
Thursday during the opening ceremony.
''By the way, don't believe the cheap propaganda by the
global terrorist group ISIS, which has reportedly named a new leader for Boko
Haram. Our gallant military has put Boko Haram on the run and nothing will
bring back the terrorists, not even the wishful thinking by ISIS,'' the Minister
said in his remarks at the ongoing All Nigerian.
According to reports, ISIS, to which Boko Haram is
affiliated, has named Abu Musab Al-Barnawi as the new leader of Boko Haram.
He also urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and reach out to
the security agencies if they suspect any security breach in their environment.
