| 2016-12-01 |
| [PREMIUMTIMESNG] The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, has said that troops have commenced advancing into Sambisa Forest, one of the major enclaves of 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. Mr. Buratai said this on Tuesday in Abuja while unveiling packs of bottle water provided through private initiative in appreciation of troops fighting the Lions of Islam in the region. According to the Army Chief, the advancement is an onslaught to finally flush out remnants of gunnies from the forest and rescue all those kidnapped in that area. He added: "This year (2016), the whole Army Headquarters will be moving into the North East to celebrate Christmas and New Year with our troops.’’ Mr. Buratai described the bottle water initiative for free distribution to troops as "quite historic and the first of its kind.’’ He said: "The scheme involves branding 50cl bottle water with the image of the Nigerian soldier. "It has the Nigerian army logo and that of stakeholders and partners from the private sector with the words: Thank you for your service.’’ According to him, the initiative seeks to appreciate the efforts of Nigerian troops actively engaged in the defence of our dear nation. |
