THE Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has described the soldier who granted interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as an impostor.

The Defence Headquarters made this known on their website on Wednesday. It said  “The statement stated that the series of lies contained in the alleged responses of the faceless person referred to as a soldier confirmed the whole arrangement as another step of the mischief makers working for terrorists.”

“The degree of cowardice is not in the character of a real soldier of the Nigerian Army.”  

 “No soldier has been sent on any mission without being armed. Each soldier answers for his action in terms of discipline. Anyone who knows the military reward for mutiny will not join another person to try it. The overwhelming majority of the Nigerian soldiers remain as brave and disciplined as ever,” it stated.
