We have dealt with Boko Haram, they now lurk around lake chad – Buratai
Buratai said the offensive had pushed them to the remote Islands on the Lake Chad basin.
“You will discover that the Boko Haram terrorists are now lurking around the borders, especially the dangerous and inaccessible areas of the Tumbun and Islands .’’On the ongoing joint operations between Nigerian and Chadian troops in Northern Borno, Buratai said that the coming of the Chadians had given a boost to troops and equipment concentration in the area.He said that this was necessary to route the terrorists from their hiding places in the Islands.
“You must maintain the momentum; we must never ever allow the reverse to be the case again. Now that we are moving, we must continue to move. News Agency of Nigeria reports that Buratai also visited the Chadian troops deployed alongside their Nigerian counterparts for a joint operation at Cross Kauwa, the Headquarters of Sector 2 of Operation Lafiya Dole.
While he prayed for the repose of soul of personnel among them that had paid the supreme sacrifice, he also prayed for quick recovery of those wounded in action.
