Nigeria’s Army Chief Lagbaja Charges Troops To Sustain Onslaught against Terrorists in North East

Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, weekend, charged troops to sustain the onslaught against the insurgents and restore sanity in the Lake Chad region and northern Borno State.


Lagbaja urged the troops to be resolute and not rest on their oars as the war against terrorism and insurgency raged.


Lagbaja also laid a wreath in honour of officers and soldiers, who paid the supreme price fighting terrorism and insurgency in defence of Nigeria.


The COAS laid the wreath at a Heroes Cenotaph in the northern Borno town, Mongunu, the Headquarters Sector 3 Joint Task Force North East Operation Hadin Kai as he continued his operational tour of the North East theatre of Operations.


Addressing combined troops of Sector 3 and the Hybrid Force, Lagbaja pointed out the significance of paying tribute and laying wreath in memory and honour of gallant officers and soldiers, who paid the supreme price to defend and extricate the North-east from the strangulating hold of ISWAP/ Boko Haram terrorists.


He assured the troops that “the transformation currently sweeping through the Nigerian Army in terms of proficient training, adequate equipment and welfare, will leave no Army formation or unit untouched.”


He added that amenities in army cantonments and barracks would be revolutionised to bring succour to personnel and their families.


He charged them to sustain the onslaught against the insurgents and restore sanity in the Lake Chad region and northern Borno, urging the troops to remain resolute.


Earlier, the Commander Sector 3 JTF NE Operation Hadin Kai, Brigadier General W Dangana, briefed the COAS on ongoing Operations Desert/ Lake Sanity ll, as well as Operation Harbin Zuma to clear the insurgents from the Tumbuns (Islands) and the Lake Chad basin, a statement signed by Army Spokesman, Brig-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, stated.
