The Nigerian Army has unveiled the list of fourth batch of 86 wanted Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.
Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai alongside Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum launched the new list at Nigerian Army Super Camp, Chabbal in Konduga Local Government Area of the state.
The ceremony also witnessed the launching of Civilan JTF, Hunters and Vigilantes into the operations of the Nigerian Army Super Camp.
Lieutenant General Buratai said the two events were part of activities designed for the final push to the end of Boko Haram activities in the North-East region.
He remarked that the induction of Civilian JTF into the operation will greatly help in containing the activities of Boko Haram because of their knowledge of the terrain and identifying Boko Haram members.
The Army Chief maintained that there is no Child CJTF that will participate in the operation and called on the public to support the military in fishing out remnants of the insurgents.
Borno state Governor Babagana Zulum commended the Nigerian Army for initiating the operation.
Theatre Commander, Operation ‘Lafiya Dole’, Major General Farouq Yahaya said adequate arrangement have been made for the welfare of Civilian JTF that will participate in the operation.
