The Theatre Commander, Joint Task Force, (JTF), North-East ‘Operation Hadin Kai‘, Major-General Christopher Musa, has commended the troops’ exploits in the fight against the insurgency in the region.
According to a statement issued by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, said Musa gave the commendation on Monday during an operational visit to troops of Sector 3 OPHK.
The commendation came on the heels of the troops’ exploits against Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists at Mallam Fatori and Damasak areas of Borno State.
The Theatre Commander charged the troops to dominate their areas of responsibility against the terrorists with a view to ensuring the total return of normalcy and peace to the North-East.
He expressed appreciation to the troops for their selfless sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and insurgency and tasked them to be more resilient and steadfast in the conduct of their operations.
Musa said as border towns between Nigeria and Niger Republic, the locations were strategic and must, therefore, be dominated by the troops.
He also visited and commiserated with ‘Wounded-in-Action’ troops who were receiving medical attention.
