Military won’t be involved in hiring mercenaries- DHQ
The Defence Headquarters has said the decision to engage mercenaries to assist the military in defeating Boko Haram insurgency is for the federal government to take.
It noted that security forces could not challenge the initiative, stressing that it was up to Nigerians and the government to contract the private army.
Following the killing of over 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State by Boko Haram insurgents last Saturday, Governor Babagana Zulum and governors of the North-East states had called for the hiring of mercenaries to fight the insurgents.
