The Senate Committee Chairman on Army, Senator Ali Ndume,
has urged the military to suppress the activities of the Islamic State West
Africa Province (ISWAP) in Southern Borno.
Ndume made the call when he led members of the committee on
an oversight visit to the headquarters of Joint Operation Hadin Kai in
Maiduguri on Wednesday.
According to him, ‘Boko Haram terrorists are surrendering’,
while ISWAP is still attacking people.
“As Boko Haram members are surrendering, ISWAP is attacking
people, particularly in the southern part of the state.
“It’s also important that we commend your effort to put you
on notice.
“Please do more so that under your leadership (Theatre
Commander) this year, it will be written in gold that you brought an end to the
insurgency.
“We are Borno to assess the security situation on the ground
as well as find ways of addressing the challenges,” Ndume said.
Earlier, Maj.-Gen. Christopher Musa, the Theatre Commander,
hailed the committee for its commitment to address the challenges facing the
army and assured it of the theatre’s commitment to discharge its assigned task.
“We say a big thank you for your dedication, sacrifice and
commitment.
“We will continue to put our best to ensure total peace is
restored to the northeast and Borno in particular,” Musa said.
