The Nigerian Army has commenced an investigation into the leakage of a classified Department of State Services intelligence report warning of planned attacks by suspected Boko Haram insurgents and bandits in parts of Adamawa and Borno states.
Findings by The PUNCH revealed that senior officers at the 232 Battalion in Yola, Adamawa State, have launched an internal probe to identify the personnel responsible for circulating the confidential security document, which was originally sent by the DSS to alert the military to impending attacks.
A security source familiar with the development said the leaked document had already been received and registered by the battalion before it found its way into the public domain.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said, “If you see the document, it was already punched in the registry of the 232 Battalion.
