Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru, the Chief of Army Staff, (COAS), on Sunday, visited troops of Sector 2, Operation Lafiya Dole of the Nigerian Army in Damaturu, with a charge on them to end Boko Haram insurgency.

While addressing the troops, Attahiru said he was there to know more about the troops for a smooth and successful operation.

“I personally as your Chief of Army Staff, I am here to take cognizance of the challenges you have and ensure they are addressed; so you can have the highest level of morale to be able to do your job and do it proudly as Nigerian soldiers.

“I am very pleased your commanders have told me what you have done collectively as part of ‘Operation Tura Takai Bango’, how you have pushed the Boko Haram insurgents, we are so proud of you.

“And I believe in the second phase of that operation you will do more”, he added.

Attahiru also charged the troops to go out and push harder and bring the entire insurgency to an end, assuring the troops that their challenges were noted and would be addressed.
