The Nigerian army has inaugurated
special mobile strike force in a renewed onslaught against Boko Haram
insurgents in the north-east.
Ibrahim Attahiru, theatre
commander, operation Lafiya Dole, made the announcement on Tuesday at the
inauguration of the force at Maimalari cantonment, Maiduguri.
He said the special strike force
was one of the new approaches evolved by the military to end insurgency and
enhance security network in the region.
“The mobile strike force (MST) is
launched to deny the insurgents freedom of action and finally decimate them,”
he said.
“This specially selected force
with mixed equipment and platforms were deployed to achieve the conduct of long
range patrols and ambush deep into the hinterlands.
“All these are in an effort to
ensure the success of Operation Lafiya Dole and enhance our operational
efficiency,” he added.
He urged them to be guided by
their professional ethics to enable them win the war.
Attahiru told the troops that
successful campaign against the insurgents would have an indelible mark in the
history of counter-insurgency campaign in the north-east.
