The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has appealed to the international community to be more objective by showing understanding for the peculiarity of Nigeria’s current security situation, saying that the counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations against the Boko Haram terrorists were a bit protracted because of the guerrilla tactics.
The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj- Gen Chris Olukolade, stated this while receiving the prestigious Alfred Daniel King Foundation award as a distinguished Military Information Expert, in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America (USA).
Olukolade, in a report by PRNigeria, noted that the Nigerian Armed Forces have always striven to operate in line with the global professional best practices.
He criticised the hard stance of some western countries over perceived negative human rights record of Nigerian military, saying it is ill informed and based on wrong mindset.
