The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Farouk Yahaya, has said that the Nigerian Army is determined, committed and capable of clearing criminals anywhere across the country.
“The troops are not resting and in high morale to reach out to all the criminals in all the nooks and crannies of the north east and especially, the north west to clear the criminals and bring sanity. “What the criminals are doing is a indication that they are finished and Nigerian Army will reach out to them as NA will not relent on its efforts to rid the country of such criminals. The Nigerian Army is on its toes to meet its constitutional mandate professionally,” Farouq said.
He stated this Monday in Maiduguri during his two day state operational visit and also commended the media for their partnership with the Nigerian Army in the fight against criminalities and insurgency among other crimes while commissioning some projects at the 7 Division of the NA Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri.
