The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Adesola Amosu has assured
that the Nigerian Armed Forces have the capacity to crush the Boko
Haram insurgency in the Northeastern part of the country as soon as
possible.
Amosu gave the assurance yesterday while receiving the Commandant
of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Air Vice Marshal John
Ifemeje who paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
The Amosu said there is a synergy between his office and that of
the Chief of Army Staff, with the view to designing the appropriate
approach to effectively counter the onslaught by the rampaging
insurgents.
The insurgents have killed dozens of innocent Nigerians, including
school children, in a string of attacks launched on soft targets in
communities in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States in the last two weeks.
A statement yesterday by the Director of Public Relations and
Information of the Air Force, Air Commodore Yususf Anas, said the Air
and Army Chiefs are in constant touch with troops stationed at the
troubled states.
The statement added that the troops are in high spirits and
inspired to crush the insurgents in record time, adding that the
officers and men in the front lines are being motivated to achieve
results.
The Air Chief hinted of renewed collaboration with other security
agencies with the aim of effectively tackling the festering insurgency
and restoring normalcy to the affected areas.
The statement quoted Amosu to have said that the Armed Forces were
already thinking of post insurgency plans and strategising on how to
“keep the place clean”, to avoid a relapse to the killing spree.
He was also quoted to have posited that the task in the envisaged
post insurgency era would require more technology-based platforms.
The Air Chief called for commitment of and sacrifice from members
of the Armed Forces, as the Federal Government continued to provide
funding and support for the campaign.

Nonsense too much talk less action. Don't tell us what u can do, go out there and crush d vermin. Tired of tales and rhetoric. Weak commander in chief clueless n confused soldiers.
ReplyDeleteMenh! Its not easy. I believe Nigerian Army. And may the souls of all the dead soldiers fighting for the peace on this country RIP.
ReplyDeleteI don't consider making your plans/strategies known to the public good enough. Your strikes should be unprecedented. They shouldn't have a hint of what you want to do. It's possible there are some traitors amongst you or who has been giving orders of withdrawals to the troops before the insurgents' attacks?
