| Buratai with the President |
The COAS, who was on a tour of military units and formations under the 3 Division, told the Gbong Gwom that the Army had defeated Boko Haram and rendered the insurgents incapacitated.
His words: “…, you can see that our efforts in the Northeast has paid off as the incessant bombing of markets and worship centres has virtually stopped. And I can assure you and the people that you will never witness Boko Haram attacks as in the past.
“For a long time now, we have not had such cases and it is because of efforts of the military in the Northeast. The Army has not only succeeded in rooting them from their camps, we have also been able to block these criminals from crossing to other areas or building their camp anywhere in Nigeria.
“I assure you that we would remain resolute in the discharge of our duties. I want to praise you on your role as the Gbong Gwom Jos, including the moral support you gave us through your wise counsel.
“Besides, I want to acknowledge the people’s cooperation; it is a fact that the Army has received excellent cooperation and understanding, especially towards officers here.”
In his remarks, Da Jacob Buba said: “The success of the Army over the Boko Haram insurgency did not come to me as a surprise because I know that the Army, historically, had always distinguished itself and today, that particular history is still playing out.
“On behalf of the state, I thank you and your men, who, over the years, have been sacrificing for peace, law and order, not only in our state but in Nigeria.
“We thank God for your efforts in restoring hope to Nigerians; your sacrifices that have translated to almost a total end to these destructive elements.”
The monarch also sought the intervention of the Army in the search for killers of the Ron Saf Kulere, Lazarus Agai.
