The Chief of Defense Staff, General Lucky Irabor has tasked troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) to smoke out terrorists to end war in the Northeast.
Irabor gave the task, yesterday (Thursday), in Maiduguri, while addressing troops at the Theatre Command, Maimalari Cantonment.
“You must ensure that the Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists are smoked out from their hideouts,” stating that there are remnants of criminals in Sambisa Forest and the Lake Chad region.
While assessing troops in the ongoing counter-insurgency operations, he said: “Huge progress is being made in our joint military operations to restore peace in the insurgency affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.”
He, therefore, noted that with the troops’ resilience and commitments in the counter-insurgency operations the war could end to restore peace in the region.
End.
