Ever since the insurgency group BOKO HARAM came into Nigeria,the north east has known no peace,the milant group which pledged allegiance
to the Islamic State group (also called ISIS) in
2015, has killed a lot of people in the process of achieving their main objective which is to establish an ISIS-style government in Nigeria.

Though the Nigeria arm forces has tried their possible best to bring down this group which has now spread its activities across the
country’s borders into Cameroon, Chad and
Niger ,but there has still been no major achievement, how ever the Nigerian Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Tukur
Buratai ordered the military to wipe out all
elements of Boko Haram from the country by
December. In a statement Sunday, Buratai
called on the country's soldiers to end the
insurgency that has been ongoing for the last
seven years.

He said:

" I am sending to you all, the
troops of Operation LAFIYA
DOLE best wishes as the
Yuletide period approaches, I
commend you for your
sacrifices, commitment, loyalty
and courage in the service of
our fatherland. I wish to make
this call to action and wake up
call to you all and to emphasize
that we must immediately
begin to embark on the final
aggressive action and
comprehensive sweep of the
operational theatre with a view
to ending the operation on a
very high note. In this regard,
no stone should be left
unturned. I therefore call on all
officers and soldiers to buckle
up and ensure that remnants of
Boko Haram terrorists are
completely cleared. I hope to be
with you sometime this month
to motivate and positively
influence the ongoing
operations. This is with a view
to having a colourful end of
year and peaceful Yuletide in
the North East and indeed
Nigeria. I urge all commanders
to plan and embark on effective
patrols, raids, ambushes and
deliberate attacks in
conjunction with other Services
especially the Nigerian Air
Force and Nigerian Navy to
rescue all those abducted by
the terrorists. I also wish to
remind all troops that captured
and surrendered Boko Haram
terrorists must be treated
humanely and fairly and in
strict accordance with the
provisions of International
Humanitarian Law and Laws of
Armed Conflict. In doing so, we
must be prepared to enter all
fortresses, camps, dens and
enclaves of the Boko Haram to
completely flush them out and
dominate these areas to ensure
they are not reoccupied. I wish
to reiterate that December is a
month of decision. It is either
we succeed in clearing the
remnants of Boko Haram
terrorists or we continue to live
in perpetual circle of their
atrocities in the North East. I
hereby want to reassure all
troops that I intend to return
everybody back to Barracks in
2017 only leaving behind a
strong, highly mobile, effective
and motivated force that will
continue to do the good work
that we have already started.
In this regard we shall also
bring reassurances to the
populace as normalcy finally
returns to the area".
