Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Azubuike Ihejirika, has accused his men of collaborating with members of the Boko Haram sects by exposing top secrets of their operations to the insurgents.

The army boss said this in Abuja at a seminar on personnel management and development organized by the Army Transformation and Innovation Center.

Ihejirika said that soldiers who have been collaborating with Boko Haram insurgents had hindered military operations, even causing the death of his men.

The COAS boss warned soldiers to stop such acts, and vowed to deal with those found guilty of the offence decisively.

He added that he had advised Commanders to take it easy while dismissing soldiers, but maintained that if a soldier’s misconduct was in terms of disloyalty, then the Army would have no choice than to dismiss and jail such officer.

General Ihejirika revealed that, as part of its readiness to tackle security challenges in the country, the Army was training more than 1000 amphibious soldiers to operate in waterways.

In addition, he said the Army was establishing a reserved battalion to be led by a Colonel, that will be supported by 25 other officers, while also building 176 Battalion at Gwagwalada in Abuja.

Earlier, the Chief of Army Transformation and Innovation, Major-General Ibrahim Sani, remarked that active digitalized road blocks/ checkpoints have been set up to ensure close to monitor movements of criminals, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), arms and ammunitions. He added that the new equipment would reduce the traffic problems road users are facing in the country
