The Nigerian army has re-opened every major highway linking Maiduguri, Borno, with other parts of the country after the routes were closed for three years due to attacks by Boko Haram.

The Chief of Army, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, made the announcement at the launch of the Army Combat Motor Bike Battalion in Damboa, the headquarters of Damboa local government area of the state.

Buratai said the army would work towards securing the lives and properties of motorists in the northeast.

Army chief Buratai believes the north-east is getting safer every day

“From today the road – Maiduguri-Damboa and Damboa-Biu highway will be opened,” the general said.

“The road is going to be entrusted into the hands of the Brigade Commander of the 25 Task Force Brigade.”

“I do not want to hear any case of attack on innocent civilians or motorists on the road henceforth,” Buratai said.

“Our troops will be on alert 24 hours to ensure that the road is kept open.”
He said the Nigerian Army had also re-opened other major highways, including the Maiduguri-Bama, the Maiduguri-Mafa-Dikwa-Gamboru/Ngala roads.

“All other major roads have been re-opened to motorists in the state,” the general said.

“We are deliberate in ensuring that the roads are opened and the people that ply the roads.”

And they say BUHARI is not winning the war. If you have the disease we call 'wailerosis' (that's inability to be discerning and having partial or acute blindness) , you must find a reason not to celebrate anything like this report.

This just cross my mind. Those boko haram members that was captured non of them have been use as detriment or killed to show others that they are not welcome in Nigeria. http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/30/chad-executes-10-members-boko-haram-firing-squad&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjS-vKA5pnLAhWqFJoKHSsYB_AQFggPMAA&usg=AFQjCNGcSBpQdUZNyOkQcCyEtkvCHyFozQ
