The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, has charged troops in the ongoing counter terrorism and insurgency operations in the North-East to remain dogged and unrelenting in the ongoing operations.
Yahaya gave the charge at the Headquarters of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation, Hadin Kai, on Sunday in Maiduguri.
The COAS, who was on a routine operational visit to the JTF OPHK to assess the level of successes recorded so far, urged the troops to be more decisive in routing the criminal elements from their enclaves.
Yahaya, who arrived at the theatre of operations in company with some principal officers, expressed satisfaction with the successes so far recorded.
He enjoined troops to continue to decimate the insurgents, and deny them freedom of action.
This, he said, would provide a safe environment and opportunity for others to play their statutory roles.
The COAS was conducted round on inspection of some combat equipment recently revamped using the Nigerian Army Electrical Mechanical Engineers Corps repair efforts.
