The Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, General Lucky Irabor, has charged troops of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) to smoke out the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists to end the insurgency in the North-East.
Irabor gave the charge on Thursday 30th March 2023 in Maiduguri, while addressing troops at the Theatre Command, Maimalari Cantonment.
Irabor said, “You must ensure that the Boko Haram and ISWAP, terrorists are smoked out from their hideouts.”
The CDS added that there are remnants of criminals in Sambisa Forest and the Lake Chad region.
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.
The CDS was accompanied by other security service chiefs to assess successes recorded on the fight against terrorism in the state, as well commend troops headlining the onslaught against the terrorists.
They were received by Major General Ibrahim Ali, the theater commander, at Headquarters OPHK where they received intelligence briefing and other briefings on activities of the operations by various commanders.
