“The public in Niger and Nigeria should note that the attack on the oil pipeline, inform that the perpetrators were neither backed nor assisted by Nigerian authorities. They should be reminded that the Government and good people of Nigeria are strongly committed to the fight against terrorism and will not condone or support the activities of such groups.

“That the Nigerian Military has a strong history of not accommodating boots on the ground and the allegations are unfounded and should be discarded in their entirety.
