Chris Olukolade insisted that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country remained intact.

The statement said: 

“The claim is empty. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nigerian state is still intact. Any group of terrorists laying claim to any portion of the country will not be allowed to get away with that expression of delusion and crime. Appropriate military operations to secure that area from the activities of the bandits are still ongoing”.
