‘They will continue to remain technically defeated and they will never be as strong as they were previously’, these were the words
of Lt Gen Tukur Buratai shortly after speaking in Damaturu the Yobe state capital after a closed door meeting with the state
governor. Ibrahim Gaidam.
The Army Chief also visited the 159
battalions in Geidam, Yobe state as well as
the military base located in Kanamma the
Nigeria/Niger border where he asked the
soldiers at the theatre of war to work
towards ending the fight by clearing the
remnant of the Boko Haram terrorists.
He charged them to be law abiding and
respect rules of engagement as the military
hierarchy will not take their welfare issues
lightly. He also assured them that the military
under his leadership will continue to rotate
the soldiers in the theatre of operation
instead of allowing others to over stay in the
war front.
