Reacting to reports that Boko Haram men attacked and ceased his home town, Mubi in Adamawa state, the Chief of Defence staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, said an attack on his village does not mean the military is helpless. He said its immaterial if it was his hometown that was attacked as the attack could have been on any other part of Nigeria and it would still have affected him as Security Chief.
Mr Badeh made this remark while speaking to newsmen after the National Council of state meeting at the Presidential villa in Abuja yesterday.
“How can Nigeria be helpless? If the CDS loses his hometown, its the same thing as losing Lagos, its the same thing as losing Enugu. Any part of Nigeria that is lost, CDS carries the weight. So its immaterial, whether its my hometown or my house that is burnt or Emeka’s house, or whoever’s house that is burnt in Nigeria, the CDS is pained”.
