The Nigerian Army is getting closer to ending the Boko Haram terrorism in the Northeast going by successes recorded in recent operations, Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, has said.
Irabor, the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, gave the assurance while addressing newsmen in Maiduguri on Wednesday.
He said that the capture of the terrorists’ last stronghold in Northern Borno was a pointer to the level of success recorded by the army.
“As you know, Malamfatori is in our kitty; our troops are consolidating on the capture of Malamfatori, Abadam and Gashigar.
“The last time we met I told you that we were looking forward to capturing these areas which were the last strongholds of the Boko Haram terrorists, that we have done successfully,” he said.
Irabor said that since the September 27 capture of the areas, the army had consolidated its position by keeping the place safe.
He, however, expressed regret that the army lost few equipment during the battle for the areas.
