The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Tuesday charged the nation’s political class and the intelligence communities to take up their responsibilities and ensure total defeat of the Boko Haram in the Northeast.
Buratai said the nation’s armed forces have done their part in ensuring that the insurgents have been substantially degraded, adding that the issues of indoctrination and propaganda by the terrorists must be stopped forthwith.
The army chief spoke at the investiture ceremony of the newly promoted Major Generals at the Conference Hall of the Command Guest House in Maiduguri, Borno State.
He said: “As we are all aware, insurgency is a difficult war that requires all hands to be on deck for it to be effectively tackled and finally destroyed. The Nigerian Army has played her role satisfactorily. We have won the ground war and the Boko Haram terrorists substantially degraded.
“We have secured Nigeria’s territorial integrity and equally maintained her sovereignty.
Intelligence communities must ensure Boko Haram’s defeat – Buratai
