THE Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has said that the war against Boko Haram in the North-East has been won and urged his men to sustain the victory.
Buratai promised that the Nigerian Army would remain vigilant and ready to contend with new strategies that might be adopted by the terrorist group.
The army chief made this remark on Saturday while laying the foundation stone for the new Brigade headquarters complex at the 2 Brigade in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Describing the current military operations in the North-East as critical, Buratai commended the soldiers for their commitment towards the onslaught against terrorists.
He said, “The North-East operation is critical at this stage. The terrorists have been defeated. These criminals may rear their ugly heads through other means. We will continue to maintain vigilance.
Buratai explained that the Federal Government would not relent in giving special attention to the welfare of military personnel.
Expressing satisfaction in the commitment to duty the 2 Brigade personnel, he pointed out that the Nigerian army had always been celebrated globally for its high level of professionalism and discipline.
The army chief urged soldiers to continue to maintain the high level of discipline they were known for, even as he commended the brigade for its effort in fighting oil theft in the Niger Delta region.
Promising that government will give attention to the medical needs of military personnel, Buratai added that the Nigerian Army would not fail to tackle the problem of accommodation in all the barracks across the country.
Apart from inspecting an ongoing five-bedroom block project embarked upon by his office, Buratai also spoke with wives of soldiers in the barracks and pledged Federal Government’s commitment towards improving their welfare.

hmmm d last time Lai Mohammed made dis particular statement we all knw wat happened after

Children of hate will soon flood this thread with trash, not minding the fact that this only means their structure has completely been reduced. The US significantly reducing terror attacks on home soil doesn't mean that pockets of attacks don't happen once in a blue moon.
#HateItOrLoveIt


I have served and I am still serving this country in capacities best imagined, hearing such statements is only but good news. Before you guys quote me a million times, Go enlist and stop hiding behind a system.

Ok

You call others children of hate but your sentiments is hoozing
. Going by your analysis then we must give Gej kiddos because he made sure all territories were reclaimed.
But I must fault the current administration for playing politics with this issue and this further buttress the point Gej made when he said " can't you see some people are calling the shots"
Indeed some people were calling the shots. If you go opp the force headquarters in Abuja, you will see a large billboard saying vote APC to defeat bokoaram.
Personally am glad peace is finding it's way back to the North East but you cannot say the war is won if your cannot provide Shekau and bring Back our Girls.

Propaganda

Sheaku and his boys will soon prove them techincally wrong


AGAIN

The army should allow us be the judge to that.


You cannot be the defence counsel and also the Judge, you'll definitely win the case.

Glory be to God.

GOD BLESS THE NIGERIAN MILITARY.

I'll believe when I stop reading of bomb blast in Nigeria

How true is this news... This a news that will stare up boko haram to strike this week again

It is too early to call victory.

We must remain vigilant against any ''underground'' elements.

Still....the Boko experience must have taught our Armed Forces valuable lessons.I hope that eventually, there would be something like a comprehensive report with recommendations...because something tells me that this won't be the last time we would be seeing a group of criminals taking up arms against the State.

Gen Buratai, is it a technical victory or otherwise?

Smartsyn:
The army should allow us be the judge to that

WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO BE THE JUDGE OF?

Ona don start again
Okay buratai should relocate his family to maiduguri

How can you say you have defeated something when its still there

Go and stand in Borno state and make that boast not in Port Hacourt.

Lies

Lai Mohammed has infected the Army with his Lying disease...


Expect another Boko Haram attack soon!

To God be the glory

hjh

l would be very happy if the bokoharam had finally defeated by our gallant shoulders. security of this nation is very important. May God help us

Amen and I hope this is true
