The Chief of Army State Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buaratai has warned troops at Geidam in Yobe State not to allow terrorists to invade the town again. The Army Chief who was in Giedam for operational visit to assess the damage of the attack by the Boko Haram terrorists Thursday night in the town also assured the residents of their protection from any form of attack by the insurgents. A statement issued by the Acting Director of Army Public Relation Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman also confirmed that death of three soldiers in the fight and the destruction of some military equipment by the insurgents. The statement reads in parts; “The Nigerian Army wishes to confirm an attack on Sector 1 of 27 Task Force Brigade located at Gaidam, Yobe State, yesterday Wednesday evening. The attack was successfully repelled by the troops and the reinforcement sent. The troops killed most of the attacking terrorists and destroying their weapons and equipment. However and regretfully too, we lost three soldiers and some equipment during the encounter. “The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai who was on operational visit to North East, personally visited the troops location, assessed the damage done. He warned the officers of the unit that such ugly incident should not be allowed to happen again”. While giving the assurances of the COAS of the protection of the people by the military from the Boko Haram terrorists, the statement added ; “The COAS also drove into the town and further assessed damage by the terrorists and gave further directives to the troops for the defence and improved security of the general area. He also met with some of the community leaders and Idris Aloma Polytechnic staff where he assured them of their safety and improved security”. According to the statement Geidam is now calm and people are going about their normal businesses. The Chief of Army Staff was received at Geidam by the General Officer Commanding 3 Division, Major General Hassan Umaru and Acting Commander 27 Task Force Brigade who led the reinforcement team last night.

With millions of youth roaming aimlessly in the North all the name of " Almajiri " I don't see an end to the insurgency. The North must abolish " Almajiri sect " first and see Boko Haram go solo. |

Atleast for the past 20 years now I can authoritatively say there is always crisis in the north. From Jos to Kaduna reach Kano. Abolish Almajiri today and I bet you crisis in the north will reduce to 20 percent. sameer1212: |
