The army deputy spokesperson Maj. Henry Obbo denies receiving any communication from the Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala about this development.
He however maintains that the UPDF condemns the activities of Boko Haram and gladly commends the decision of the AU summit this past weekend while Addis Ababa to deploy a 7,500 strong multinational  force to fight Boko Haram militants.
