The General Officer Commanding, 81 division of Nigerian Army, Lagos, Major-General Tamunomieibi Dibi, yesterday, in Abeokuta, said Boko Haram insurgency and attacks in the state was possible , urging the Army officers, Ogun State Government and the people of the State not to rule it out.
Dibi, the newly-deployed General Officer, who paid a working visit to the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta, however, boasted that the Nigerian Army has what it takes to crush the Boko Haram insurgency and its attacks.
He urged the military men to be security-conscious and report any security-threatening information to the appropriate quarters for quick and necessary actions, noting that security watch and consciousness should be seen as everybody business.
The GOC who declared that the presence of Boko Haram insurgents could not be ruled out in any state, cities, villages and communities in any part of the country, charged army and other security agencies to be watchful and on the alert every time to crush any attacks.
While confirming the welfare and security challenges facing Nigerian Army and its officers, Dibi assured military men that government would look into the challenges and find necessary solutions to the challenges, saying; “I am impressed with the environment I met here, in fact, you are living close to the nature.
I know the problems of Army, your Brigade Commander has equally briefed me about your challenges and they are surmountable. While your officers are working, I want you to encourage them and be by their side; be behind them. If everybody is conscious of his security, it will amount to collective security.
I think you know that there is nothing like rumour in the Army, if you have a rumour don’t keep it to yourselves, pass it to the appropriate quarters for necessary attention and action.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Why a responsible man talk publicly like this. He should be arrested should Boko Haram strike in Ogun State. He is looking for funds from the State government. Foolish person!!!
ReplyDeleteThe man is simply being realistic.I don't think the man is foolish. You are the one thinking foolishly.
Deletewhy are people talk any how things are should be tackle immediately if there are possible ways not until they happen before taking any action, these has been happening around the global wold look at that of the southern kaduna people how they been killed
ReplyDeletePeople who do not know anything about security should stop passing uncomplimentary remarks about this comment. When has it become a sin to sensitse people especially the army officers about security consciousnes so that they don't lose their guards?
ReplyDeleteHow many of you if they employe you can tackle the problm u wl just be talking as a fool
ReplyDeleteHis statement is capable of inciting BH against Ogun. I think the officet is professional though unpatrotic. History is replete with this type of ploy. Hegelian dialetic:
ReplyDeleteCovertly create a problem,
actively control opinions on it
and profer solution to it later after much collateral damages. All for one purpose: to enrich themselves at the expense of other peoples' lives.
This is what has been going on with BH issue.
