Insurgency: Army Publishes Images Of 100 Suspects
The Nigerian Army has published the photograph of 100 suspected insurgents declared wanted by the ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’.
The
Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, made a public
show of the suspected terrorists in Maiduguri on Wednesday at the
closing ceremony of a three-day engagement, organised for Army Public
Relations Officers from across Nigeria.
The
Army Chief said that troops on the front lines were doing all they
could to put an operational end to the counter terrorism war.
Lieutenant
General Buratai, however, said that the insurgents had been greatly
decimated, assuring Nigerians that ‘the Army is winning the war’.
He,
nonetheless, stressed the need for the recognition of the sacrifices
being made by federal troops on the front lines.
Lieutenant
General Buratai urged Nigerians to show patriotism and support the
efforts of the Nigerian military by providing information that would
lead to the arrest of suspected insurgents.
He
also said that the December deadline required the cooperation of all
Nigerians to achieve the desired results.
President
Muhammad Buhari had in August given the army a
three-month ultimatum to
end insurgency in the north-east which was later extended to December
2015.
