| [360NOBS] Speaking on Wednesday to newsmen in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor stated that the capture of the terrorists’ last stronghold was a pointer to the level of success recorded by the army. The Major General also averred that the success was achieved not without cost, as the troops lost both lives and equipment. Irabor said that since the September 27, capture of the areas, the army had consolidated its position by keeping the place safe. He said: "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 ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... terrorists, that we have done successfully." |
