The Nigerian military has revealed plans to intensify the fight against terrorism in Nigeria following the recurrence of attacks in North East Nigeria.
Colonel Rabe Abubakar, Director of Defence Information in a recent statement promised the military’s sustained efforts at diminishing the incidence of terrorism in the country, particularly the northern regions.
Abubakar reiterated the military’s unending efforts, and promises that efforts to rid the nation of these extremist attacks are in full gear.
Describing the terrorists as ‘barbaric’, he regretted that many innocent lives had been lost in the spate of attacks; that of Sabon Gari market in Borno being the most recent.
Abubakar said steps to counteract the attacks are ongoing, even as he urged Nigerians to be more observant and report suspicious acts around their vicinities.
‘The military is intensifying efforts to continue to break the bones of the terrorists and wish to re-state and re-assure Nigerians that it is not relenting in its efforts to rid the country of terrorism and any act of criminalities.
‘Every step is being taken to neutralise the capability of terrorists whose activities still continue to constitute danger to civil populace as they are in disarray while running away from their former safe haven and no longer capable of confronting the troops,’ he said.
