The Nigerian Army in a press statement signed by Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director, Army Public Relations said it has been notified of a statement insinuating that Nigerian villages were attacked by Cameroonian ( Ambazonian) seperatists on 29 May 2022.
The statement said, contrary to the misinformation, own troops deployed at Danare received information on Sunday morning about the said attack. The troops immediately mobilised to Bashu community, which was allegedly under attack. On their arrival, it was revealed that Bashu was not under attack and no external incursion was recorded; rather the separatists attacked Obonyi 2 and Njasha, both of which are communities located in the Republic of Cameroon.
Continuing, the statement said that, four victims of the attack, who crossed over to Nigerian territory were later rescued by our troops and operatives of Nigerian Immigration Services.The attack was therefore not within Nigerian territory as claimed.
Members of the public are enjoined to disregard the unsubstantiated information and not panic, the statement concluded.
