The Nigerian Army has alleged that recent attacks by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents were motivated by the international community to “cut Nigeria to size.”
This was contained in an article on Wednesday by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col Sagir Musa, saying some international paymasters were sponsoring the insurgents and the attacks.

According to the Army Spokesman, “the recent killing of our people on a rice farm in Borno State was unexpected, inhuman, cowardly, dastardly and sadistic cruelty by the Boko Haram terrorists.
“There is no normal human being that will take pleasure in such inhuman massacre of defenceless and armless civilians, working on their farms; but that is the nature of terrorism and those who sponsor it.
“There is an international conspiracy to cut Nigeria to size and compromise national renegades making attempts to destabilise and dismember Nigeria if possible in subservience to the international paymasters, who are the owners of Boko Haram. They train them, arm them, finance them and supply their logistics.”
Musa maintained that without international support for the sect, Boko Haram would have since been defeated by the Army.
