Boko Haram, Niger Delta Militants Stretching Army To Limits, Says Buratai by TheFreeOne: 9:08pm On Jun 29, 2016 |
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai on Wednesday, said that the involvement of the army in operations to check insurgency, pipeline vandalism, cattle rustling, among others is stretching the force close to its limits. Buratai with troops in the North-East Buratai with troops in the North-East Speaking at the inauguration of the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, in Abuja, Buratai said the need to optimise the capability of the army to meet emerging security challenges could not be overemphasised. He added that in conjunction with sister agencies, the military would rid the country of “criminal elements operating in the guise of militants, terrorists”. “The Nigerian Army Resource Centre is a vision that is anchored on the need to ensure that the army does not only participate in the ground battle, but indeed under all terrain to ensure that our adversaries are defeated wherever they are,” he said. “As you are aware, Nigeria faces sundry security challenges, but our main focus has been in counter-insurgency operations in the north-east. “As you are aware, Nigeria faces sundry security challenges, but our main focus has been in counter-insurgency operations in the north-east. “The Nigerian army has been involved in operations to check militancy, pipeline vandalism, armed robbery, cattle rustling and inter-ethnic clashes among others. “These myriad of security challenges have stretched us close to our limits.” The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali commended the efforts of the armed forces in containing the security challenges, saying security remained top on the agenda of the current administration. Ali urged them to sustain the tempo in the ongoing campaigns against contemporary threats across the country. “I want to emphatically state that one of the top priorities of this administration is the enhancement of the armed forces to discharge their duties,” he said. “We will continue to provide the much needed support to the armed forces of Nigeria to deliver efficient services and to effectively discharge their duties. “I commend the commitment and zeal of the present leadership of the armed forces in tackling security issues across the country. “I also appreciate the successes of the Armed Forces of Nigeria in the counter-insurgency operation in the north-east and urge you to sustain the tempo.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/boko-haram-niger-delta-militants-stretching-army-to-limits-says-buratai/ |

Why complain when we have a man who ended Second World War as Commander in chief. A sensible CInC should know you cant engage in different battle at the same time and not even with the inefficient Nigeria army, his sycophants pushed him with the "New sheriff in town" between Buhari promised to fight from the front line before election but chicken out of Ogoni visit just by a mere threat from a ragtag NDA group. So much for our general 7 Likes |

Otondo snake charmer did you forget to add your alleged cyber terrorists Seriously, will statements like this from COAS not embolden terrorists and others to wreck more havoc on the nation or is Buratai indirectly hinting Buhari on the futility of force on ND militants Like the saying no nation/army can fight different wars on many fronts successfully. 1 Like |

General ‘Savings-for-Dubai’ Burutai, I have a property that is up for sale in Dubai now. The property is worth 10 milion dollars. How much do you have in your new savings account now? I hope it’s more than that amount because I know you are a genius in savings matters 6 Likes |

I really don't see what business our army has with operations in the creeks. It's the business of the Navy or better still the Marines. The army isn't trained in such combat. that's why the ND boys would keep scoring victories and prove difficult to Crack |

General is coming out plain. When he attacked Shittes and Unarmed protesters I know he must be thinking no one will defend them. Nigeria soldiers fighting internal wars since 1960 |
