The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Monday said Sambisa forest would serve as training ground for personnel of the Nigerian Army as from 2017.

Buratai said this in Damasak, Borno, while celebrating Christmas with troops of 145 Battalion after the road leading to the town was reopened by Gov. Kashim Shettima, three years after closure.He said troops were already conducting a mop up operation in the forest after the last strong hold of the Boko Haram terrorists was captured.

“We are also opening up roads to Sambisa and Alagarno forest. Sambisa forest is going to be one of our training grounds.

“I have already directed that we should conduct Nigerian Army small arms championship in that forest Next year.

“And we are going to use it also to test fire our fighting vehicles, other key equipment and weapons that requires testing whenever we want to induct new weapon and equipment into the Nigerian army inventory.

“It will afford us very good ground for basic tactics and indeed advance tactics, including but not limited to tactics at the Platoon, company, battalion, Brigade and even division levels.

“We are going to make it more robust to make sure that these criminals do not come back to that forest again.

Heart break to haters.

Nasarum Minallah. = Victory is from Allah = ﻧَﺼْﺮٌ ﻣِّﻦ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪِ

As Boko Haram are calling Allah so Also the Nigerian Army.

At the end Allah have responded to the prayers of Nigeians and The Army.

Well done General Buratai.

They keep asking for what PMB has achieved as if they're really blind, deaf and even dumb.

Ok, President Muhammadu Buhari has truly recorded a great level of success in the following areas:
1. Decimating of Boko Haram such that the terrorists are no longer a dreaded sect.
2. Dealing seriously with corrupt people including corrupt judges who sell judgement to the highest bidders.
3. Revolution in the agric sector such that local rice production has significantly improved.

Yes, he still have many things to do before we give him a full pass mark BUT he still has two full years to achieve them.

Make we no lie, PMB has tried considering the rot he met. The economy was practically in recession when he took over because both states and FG couldn't pay their workers salaries then. Also, crude price crashed and he was still able to manage the meager earnings.

Hatred na bad thing.

hahhhaa chie aboki

abeg we must leave this contraption

chie chie

i have nothing to say

Were are the girls? Dis news no dey important na d arrive of the girls matter.

Where's Shekau and where are the girls?

I remember the past COAS under the IB said that Sambisa Forest is too dangerous to send troops there to face Book Haram. Compare those political Generals of GEJ to Buhari's Generals and you'll agree that president pass president.

GEJ was a waste of presidency.

Enemy of Nigeria, Shekau is a title that can be taken up by any commander at any time.

The girls are possibly being held somewhere as a last bargaining tool.

Happy?

Safety of 170 billion Nigerians are better than that girls and Shekaus Head.
