The Coalition Against Terrorism and Extremism (CATE) has
saluted the Nigerian Army for averting what it described as ‘Black Monday’ by
successfully repelling multiple terror attacks in several parts of the country.
Recall that the gallant Nigerian troops had overpowered and
decimated some terrorists in Adamawa, Yobe and Benue States yesterday.
CATE in a statement through its President, Gabriel Onoja,
lauded the Nigerian Army and the entire military for the dedication, commitment
and the sense of sacrifice that inspired them to take down the terrorists while
putting others in flight with varying degrees of bullet wounds.
The Coalition said that the attacks call to mind the series
of alarms that have been raised by different stakeholders that there are people
that have commissioned and paid terrorists to carry out such attacks so that
Nigeria’s democracy can be aborted and an interim government illegally put in
place.
“The Army has averted
what was apparently planned to be a Black Monday of sorrow and terror on
account of the number of Nigerians that would have been massacred had these
terrorists not stopped in their track. This success recorded by the Army is a
demonstration of the positive results that can be had when citizens trust the
military enough to collaborate with them and provide vital information.
“The successful thwarting of the terrorists in all the
instances has affirmed that the decision the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant
General Tukur Buratai, to launch Operation Python Dance nationwide was the
right call for which he should be commended. It has turned out to be a
proactive approach to the nation’s security challenges since it is now apparent
that there are really those that are embittered that the country is on the way
to having peaceful elections, which has made them even more desperate to
destroy Nigeria’s democracy,” Onoja noted.
