President Muhammadu Buhari has been presented with the flag of Boko Haram that was recovered at the insurgents’ Camp Zero which was captured in Sambisa Forest days ago.
The handover ceremony which took place on December 30 saw Major-General Lucky Irabor, the theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole hand over the flag to the President.
Buhari received the flag at exactly 10.30pm at the 2016 regimental dinner organised by the presidential brigade of guards.
In his response, Buhari recalled how he escaped death in the Army even before he was due for his first salary. He however revealed that he enjoyed his 25-year of service before retirement.
The Chief of Army staff Tukur Buratai assured that the Army would continue its duty of protecting lives and properties in the north-east.
