The
defence headquarters has clarified statement by the Chief of Defence Staff,
Alex Badeh to the effect that insurgency in parts on northern Nigeria must end
before April this year.
At
a news briefing in Abuja yesterday, the Director, Defence Information Chris Olukolade said contrary to the
interpretation in some quarters, the declaration was to charge the new service
chiefs to brace up and restore normalcy in all parts of the country.
Major
General Olukolade stressed that the
nature of terrorism in Nigeria, particularly the Trans boarder dimension make
it difficult for the military to make definite promises.
He further called on
Nigerians to join hands with security agencies in ensuring that sustainable
peace and security is achieved across Nigeria.
