A security expert, Mr. Dogo Lukman, has hailed the Chief of Army
Staff, Lt. Gen. TY Buratai and Nigerian troops for reportedly sending Boko Haram fighters and their sponsors into ‘self isolation’.
He
said what Buratai and the troops have done to the terrorist groups is
akin to placing them on quarantine while sending their sponsors on
exile.
Buratai has been coordinating military activities in the theatre of
war since March at the Lake Chad region in the bid to making sure that
the activities of the groups are brought to a final end has posted
impressive results on the battlefield giving hope that the defeat of the
terrorists is close by,
Within Nigeria reports.
Lukman
said after processing relevant information emanating from the Lake Chad
region, there is every indication that the terrorists have finally been
subdued, cornered and cordoned off while their sponsors have gone into
hiding.
His words:
“These elements that used to
torment the peace of the entire country have been quarantined by the
heat coming from the troops and are now self isolating themselves in
caves.”
The
security expert said the recent audio message released by Abubakar
Shekau in which he confessed that his men are under “trial” and going
through rough times is a confirmation in security cycle that they have
been overwhelmed.
Said Luqman:
“This
is a man that in all his messages used to talk about killing or
abducting innocent and unarmed citizens, but this time he is saying they
are passing through a trial and is encouraging them not to lose hope.
He said Nigerian troops have gone beyond technically defeating the terrorists to nearly bringing them down to their knees.
