Military chiefs relocate to Maiduguri to quell resurging insurgence in North-East

In compliance to the directives of the Acting President, Yemi Osibanjo, the military  chiefs have relocated their command  and control center to Maiduguri, the Borno Stated capital.

This is in a bid to curtail resurgence  of Boko Haram who had in the last two months ,carried out over 90 suicide attacks in the northeast.

The most recent of  their  attacks,is the ambush and abduction  of a team of geologists  from the University of Maiduguri, who where on their way to the Lake Chad area for oil exploration.

Recall that  the Acting President last week in a closed door meeting,  ordered the service chiefs to relocate to the Northeast to address the worsening attacks of Boko Haram.

The Director Defence Information (DDI) Major General John Enenche,in a press briefing in Maiduguri ,said  the relocation of the command and control of the military  will “give impetus” to the military  in the north-east.

“The move is expected to give impetus to the military effort in the north-east.

“Consequently the defence headquarters appeals to the public and the people  in the areas affected  directly by this negative act of terrorism and criminality   to come forward with credible information that will  further assist security and response  agencies to tackle  the menace.

“It is necessary to point out some key information  required which include the following:Terrorist sleeper cell locations,  Terrorist concentration area and outpost location, collaborators and informants to the terrorists, suspicious habitations and living  quarters within rural and urban centers, suspicious  and isolated settlements  and camps outside normal living areas ” he said.
