Burutai’s charge comes a day after the terrorists attacked the town, forcing Internally Displaced Persons to scamper for safety.
Following the attacks on Ganze and Gubio Local Government Areas of the state, security forces reportedly engaged the fighters in a gun battle.
Speaking through the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sagir Musa, the Army chief charged the Commander OPLD to consistently engage in massive offensive patrols to all identified terrorists’ locations and enclaves within the theatre to ensure the terrorists are denied freedom of action and eliminated.
Burutai also promised to visit the Northwest region particularly Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara over the increasing banditry in the area.
The Army Chief assured the troops and people of the affected states that his planned visit to the region will ensure that the madness of the bandits is put in proper check.
He said he was impressed with the performance of the troops in the ongoing Operations Accord and Hadarin Daji, and urged them to maintain the momentum.
