Worried over the recent attacks in Borno and
Mubi, the Defence Headquarters said necessary
deployment of troops and equipment was
ongoing to reverse recent violation and breach
of security by terrorists and criminals operating
in some parts of the country.
This information is contained in a statement
issued in Abuja by the Director of Defence
Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade.
The statement said that the coordinated air
bombardment was already yielding required
results in the mission to repel the unwarranted
attacks on citizens, especially in Adamawa and
Borno. It said that land forces were also
conducting mop up operations to apprehend
retreating terrorists and facilitate restoration of
normalcy in some of the affected communities.
It said that more details would be released as
the operations progressed. The statement also
said that the content of the video purportedly
released by terrorists on Friday was being
studied.
It added that further information on subsequent
position on the issues involved would be
released in due course.
``The military will continue to accord due
recognition to any ongoing mediatory efforts
toward bringing our girls home and terminating
the insecurity in parts of the country.
``Citizens are assured that the military and
security agencies remain committed and
optimistic for positive outcome of ongoing
operations,’’ It added
