The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Monday said Sambisa forest would serve as training ground for personnel of the Nigerian Army as from 2017.

Buratai said this in Damasak, Borno, while celebrating Christmas with troops of 145 Battalion after the road leading to the town was reopened by Gov. Kashim Shettima, three years after closure.

He said troops were already conducting a mop up operation in the forest after the last strong hold of the Boko Haram terrorists was captured.

“We are also opening up roads to Sambisa and Alagarno forest. Sambisa forest is going to be one of our training grounds.

“I have already directed that we should conduct Nigerian Army small arms championship in that forest Next year.

“And we are going to use it also to test fire our fighting vehicles, other key equipment and weapons that requires testing whenever we want to induct new weapon and equipment into the Nigerian army inventory.

“It will afford us very good ground for basic tactics and indeed advance tactics, including but not limited to tactics at the Platoon, company, battalion, Brigade and even division levels.

“We are going to make it more robust to make sure that these criminals do not come back to that forest again.

U want to learn how to dance in the lion's den.. Lwkmd!

Sai baba
Sai APC......

This is what you get when you have a GENERAL as PRESIDENT.

OK, at least that wl keep d forest busy.

That's a welcome development.
They can even build an army barracks or headquarter there.

I have a feeling: some people are already saying it's a lie

Last last Games like CALL OF DUTY,BATTLEFIELD AND FARCRY suppose get a mission or installment based on sambisa

Saying that boko haram belongs to the past, is an understatement. They have been crushed beyond the possibility of ever staging a comeback. All glory to God and thumbs up to the duo of the president and Buratai.

My head down our hero..

Training ground , all the way!

Buhari is endangering the lives of soldiers and civilians.What if there are mines in the forest?They should move borno state governor's lodge and house to sambisa forest.

That would be a good development. God bless the men and women of the Armed Forces.
