Army Calls Nigerian Doctor ‘Criminal’ Over Fundraising Campaign To Feed Troops

The Nigerian Army has declared a Nigerian in Diaspora, Dr. Perry Brimah, wanted over a fraudulent global fundraising effort to provide food for troops in the North East.

The fraudster allegedly kicked off a global campaign to provide food for Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram.

However, in a statement on Wednesday, the army spokesman Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, called on the general public to provide any information on the whereabouts of Brimah.

“We wish to state that the Nigerian soldiers deployed to the North East or elsewhere, neither lack logistics nor food as the fraudster wants unsuspecting members of the public to believe.

“The criminal is using the following contact points for the fundraising, https://www.gofundme.com/feed-nigerian-soldiers/info @ ENDS.ng Tel: +1-929-427-5305; Whatsapp: +234-903-420-3031,” Usman alarmed.

According to Usman, Brimahs action was nothing than a scam as the troops were well provided for.

“We would like to further state that there have never been complaints of lack of food by soldiers talk-less of starvation.

“The so-called Dr Perry Brimah or his agents do not represent the Nigerian Army or her soldiers. Whoever believes and falls victim to this criminal act does so at his or her own risk. In addition, the Nigerian Army in conjunction with the Interpol are working hard to declare him wanted and extradite the International fraudster to face justice.

“Therefore, we request the general public for any information on the whereabouts of this fraudster.”
