The Nigerian military has rejected in absolute terms the report that has been repeatedly aired on CNN, which presented footages of interviews of persons alleged to be Nigerian soldiers, branding it a calculated blackmail.

The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade in a statement Friday, said the report is  another orchestrated smear campaign targeted at the image and character of the Nigerian Armed Forces by some entrenched interests.
Olukolade said the CNN interview and report are an unfortunate effort to promote blackmail, adding that it smacks of an international conspiracy against Nigeria’s national security.

According to him, a reputable medium is not expected to indulge in propagating concocted stories from persons or individuals whose identities remain questionable.
