 The Nigerian Army  accused the The Sahara reporters online media of  of working for the Boko Haram terror group
“It is noteworthy but unfortunate that Sahara Reporters has committed itself to support terrorism and fight Nigeria, its people, its military and particularly the Nigerian Army.
“Before Sahara Reporters published their purported document described as petition from Lt Col Wende, a serving commanding officer, the Nigerian Army conducted a thorough investigation on the document involving other security and intelligence gathering agencies. The process confirmed that the serving officer was not the author of the petition,” the Army stated.

The statement also disclosed that  Lt Col Wende who was the officer involved, had disassociated himself from the petitionat a press conference in Maiduguri,  and Sahara Reporters which published the story was not only absent but went on to discredit the officer, describing him as “unverified”.
