Buratai told them not to allow the recent setback experienced deter them from defeating the terrorists.
“As you all know, we have been on this ground for long and I expect us to remain resolute, selflessly committed and push for the total defeat of the Insurgents in the coming days”, NAN quoted him as saying.
“I assure you that what is remaining is very small but it will require us to put more effort, more determination and more courage to complete the remaining part of the battle soon.
“Recall that recently, we had setbacks which must not be allowed to happen again. We will not allow any further casualties both in men and equipment.”
Buratai confirmed that the Nigerian Army had taken delivery of more equipment and platforms that would be deployed to various theaters of operations across the country.
