The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Friday, charged troops in the North East to pursue and neutralise Boko Haram terrorists to “eternity".

Buratai gave the charge in a message of commendation to the troops.

He said he was delighted “to receive the good news of their “triumphant entry, clearing of the strategic town of Baga and neutralising the terrorists that tested our might some days back.’’

“Your efforts and open display of gallantry, as well as patriotism that brought about this unprecedented feat, gladdened my heart, all Nigerians and indeed, peace loving people around the world.

“I am very proud of you all.

“I would like to enjoin you to consolidate on these gains by continuous pursuit of these criminal terrorists and neutralise them to eternity.

“You should be more proactive and continue with the clearance operations on any known Boko Haram terrorists’ hideouts in your respective areas of responsibilities,’’ the army chief further charged.

He assured them that the army would continue to provide all the needed support to ensure that they succeed in “this noble task.

“I have directed for more replenishment and special welfare packages for you all which will be made known by your various Commanders.

“I want you to invoke the spirit of courage and bravery that the Nigerian military is noted for, the world over. Victory is very near.

“Definitely, you are the ones that will make it nearer and sweeter,’’ he said.

Buratai expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for his continued support, political will and guidance which made the modest accomplishment (routing of terrorists from Baga and other areas) possible.

He prayed for the repose of the souls of the fallen heroes and wish all those wounded in action speedy recovery.

“Once more, I am proud of you all, you should continue to be motivated, maintain the momentum and the fight against the criminal terrorists until you clear them out anywhere they are hibernating on our territory.

“Well done our gallant troops, sustain the offensive and be assured of our total support.’’

The army chief specifically commended the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj,-Gen. Benson Akinroluyo, Commander, newly created Nigerian Army Special Forces Command, Maj,-Gen. M.G. Alli and Commander Sector 3 Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. O.T. Akinjobi.

Sinjen, Chief of Staff, Nigerian Army Special Forces Command (ASFC), Brig.-Gen. M.L.D. Saraso and Commander of NASFC Military Intelligence Brig.-Col. A.A. Idris,

Also, he commended Commander, Integrated Logistic, Col. C. Ochimana, Commander of the Armed Forces Special Forces, Commander (Nigerian Navy) G.B Osuobeni and Commanding Officer of 123 Battalion, Maj. L.A. Balogun.

Buratai also commended Commanding Officer of Army Headquarters Strike Group, Maj. M.T. Nasiru.

From another angle

Chill man, we've been hearing this since 2014

#our mumu don do#

Few months to 2015 elections, Goodluck Jonathan increased the offensive on BH and ‘reclaimed’ territories. Buhari is doing exactly the same thing!

Will Nigeria ever be safe or peaceful under Buhari’s leadership?

God bless our gallant forces.




Thunder fire anyone against our soldiers, wherever he is.

They have come again
They have come again
When they Kill one they will say they're Victorious
Instead to keep calm and fight
They'll be making Noise
Nigeria Army Generals are now Comedians

Technically near

fk001:
God bless our gallant forces.




Thunder fire anyone against our soldiers, wherever he is.

"Thunder fire" LOL, you people can never change...

Your soldiers are just protecting resources owned by multinational corporations and governments while you are here talking about "Fire thunder" like a 5 year old....

Buratai is a joker and is the equivalent of an army Major in a UN peacekeeping force

Buratai please close your mouth.

Election stories we must not buy.

Haven't bokoharam been defeated?

Racoon:
Buratai please close your mouth.

So, Salkida is also lying?
