The Defence Headquarters might have set the Nigerian military up for backlash as it called repentant terrorists “clients” on Friday.
DAILY POST reports that the ex-fighters had killed several civilians, military and paramilitary personnel in Nigeria’s 10-year long insurgency war.

Under Operation Whirl Stroke, Enenche said troops, on May 12, killed four suspected armed herdsmen while responding to a distress call on infiltration at Agasha in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.
