The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, on Wednesday, said the military would remain focused in the discharge of its duties ``in spite of unreasonable criticisms.

``We swore to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to defend the integrity of our states.

``It is your military, you don’t have another one so, encourage your military to do well. We must all be patriotic as Nigerians to defend our country.’’

Badeh, however, said that what the country was fighting was above Boko Haram, noting that the group which started in Maiduguri as a small group had now gone out of hand.

``It is now an Al- Quada in West Africa and Central Africa. We have evidence from people outside Nigeria fighting with Nigeria so it is no longer Boko Haram, it is Al- Quada we are fighting.

``You are aware that we have international partners working with us to release our girls and our girls will be released.’’
