Hassan Umoru, New Commander To Battle Boko Haram by robosky02(m): 1:53am On Dec 19, 2015
The Defence Headquarters on Friday, December 18, announced the restructuring of its fight against the Boko Haram insurgents.


According to Rabe Abubakar, the military’s director of Defence Information, the Operation Lafiya Dole in the Northeast, which is at the forefront of the battle, has been repositioned to make it more efficient and effective in the discharge of its assigned tasks of crushing the Boko Haram sect, Premium Times reports.


To this regard, a new Theatre Commander has been appointed for Operation Lafiya Dole and he is Major General Hassan Umoru.

Umoru who was the general officer commanding, 3 Division Nigerian Army, is succeeding Yusha’u Mahmood Abubakar, a Major General, who was appointed four months ago.

The Defence Headquarters however did not state why Abubakar was removed.

Also appointed is the Deputy Theatre Commander who is Major General Lucky Irabor.

A statement from Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar reads: “The changes are part of the reorganisation by the Defence Headquarters in line with the force restructuring of its operations to attain the overall objectives of the Chief of Defence Staff.

“The aim of this new development is to re-strategize and inject new tactics to the existing operational procedures with the aim of finally knocking out the terrorists who now devised means of hitting soft targets through suicide bombings and isolated attacks on remote villages.

“Operation Lafiya Dole will continue to be responsive until all elements of terrorists are finally crushed.”


Naij.com recalls that a deadline of December was given to the military by President Muhammadu Buhari to end the activities of Boko Haram terrorists in the northeast.

Ride on Operation Lafiya Dole.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace, strengthen them in their trials and temptations, give them courage to face the perils which beset them, and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be. Amin.

Which tactics? When you still send in soldiers for raid without air support. When you don't scan for heat signatures or employ infra red camera before sending the young men to am ambush at night? So what actually is he gonna do. My guess is simple, loot the stf budget as usual.

Get in some mercenaries who are well versed in the art of guerilla warfare; it does not diminish the prestige of the Nigerian army. The govt could be discreet about it too.

That is one of the ways to take care of the kind of enemy we are dealing with.
