Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore's news site (Sahara Reporters) was some days ago accused by the Nigerian Military of working for the dreaded Boko Haram sect,.
Well, he's come for them!!
He told The Paradigm that he is not in anyway surprised the Nigeria Army has resorted to name-calling.

Dismissing the allegation against Sahara Reporters, the New York-based journalist said, “The US Government was similarly accused of working for Boko Haram for refusing to sell helicopters to the Nigerian Army.
“The Nigerian Army has been reduced to a petty organization. The other day they deployed their men chasing after newspaper delivery vans across Nigeria because some were critical of their handling of the anti-terrorism fight.
Continuing, Sowore stated that “Since they (Nigerian Army) can’t find or arrest our (Sahara Reporters) copies, they’ve resorted to cheap blackmail. The content of the petition clearly speaks on how Boko Haram could be defeated; states why they haven’t been defeated.

“The petition indicted senior military officers including stating how a GOC was diverting money and food, and also building a mansion in Kaduna. But instead of investigating and acting on the content of the petition, the military hierarchy is engaging in subterfuge and deflecting public attention from the real issues.
“We join the long line of conscientious watchdogs branded by the Nigerian authorities for saying and reporting the truth,” Sahara Reporters publisher said.
