This is not to ridicule the Nigerian military or anything close to that as Nigerians deserve to know better.
Following the photos of the rocket-making factory which was released by the Boko Haram terrorists few days ago, the Nigerian military has claimed that the photos are fake, saying the intention is to deceive members of the public on the insurgents’ potency and the insurgents don’t have the capacity to make such rockets.
Now the main issue is if the Boko Haram rocket factory is fake or the pictures posted by the group are not real, then how come the same rockets which are purportedly being made by the militants in the photos were the same type of rockets used in an attack against Dala area in Maiduguri few months ago -as shown in the pictures below.
It is good for the military to moderate some online publications so as not to cause panic among citizens but telling us that what we know is not true -that’s FALLACY. Denying the rocket factory doesn’t prevent another attack by these miscreants rather embracing the shocking development and looking for a better way to stop them should be the way forward.
