The Nigerian Army has reaffirmed
its stand on ending terrorism in
three months as directed by President
Muhammadu Buhari .
The Acting Director of Army Public
Relations, Col. Sani Usman , stated this
while giving an update on the
counter-insurgency operation, at a
news conference in Abuja on
Thursday.
He stated:
“I have no iota of doubt in my
mind that our troops will wipe out
the insurgents in the shortest
possible time and we are
committed to this target. You are
aware that our troops recaptured
Gamboru Ngala last Tuesday and
are now consolidating, mopping up
and preparing for the next
offensive against the terrorists. It
is gratifying to note that most of
the terrorist group leadership, has
been decimated, while foot soldiers
are abandoning their masters,
burying their weapons in the forest
and seeking solace. It is the
achievements from harmonised
efforts that have confirmed our
stand that the insurgency would be
ended as soon as possible.
I would like to acknowledge the
commendable role the Nigerian Air
Force plays in the fight against
terrorism, alongside sister service
and other security agencies. The
bombardment of identified Boko
Haram terrorists’ location, close air
support, air surveillance and
interdiction by the Nigerian Air
Force, have enhanced the ongoing
operation’s efficiency and
successes. In addition to providing
water and airlift of other logistics
to the war front, the air force has
been a force multiplier as troops
are confident that they would
receive quick medical attention
when necessary.”
The director assured that the military
would do its part by ensuring that
recaptured territories were secured
well enough for the government to
commence reconstruction work.
