Military Activates War Mode, Recite Riot Act to Terrorists

The Armed Forces of Nigeria has read the riot act to terrorists and bandits with a notice that the military has activated its war mode to end all insurgency in the country.

The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, who shared updates on the activities of the military in the past two weeks, announced the neutralisation of two terrorists and the arrest of others.

He added that the offensive posture indicated by ongoing military operations would cause the perpetrators of the challenges to reconsider their position.

On the sidelines, the Director, Defence Information, Major Gen. Tukur Gusau, clarified the recent retirement of some senior military officers in line with military hierarchy.

The Armed Forces are engaged in nine different operations across the country, with operational theatres within the six geopolitical zones to address the numerous security challenges.
