Emir of Gwoza Alhaji Mohammed Timta, who
has returned to his domain, once seized by Boko Haram as their headquarters,
has passed a vital information on the location of Boko Haram to Chief of Army
Staff, General Tukur Buratai. Timta told visiting Buratai that remnants of Boko
Haram fighters are hiding inside caves in the Mandara Mountain and called for
urgent action against them.
According to him, it is true that the
insurgents have been defeated and decimated but the remnants are hiding in the
mountains because there are caves there. He said that the people of his domain
had enjoyed good relationship with the army, adding that such cordial
relationship had boosted their confidence.
He also said the military could not
confront Boko Haram all alone, advising that the local hunters should be
engaged to identity the hideouts of the terrorists in the mountains. Buratai
pledged that the theatre command of Operation Lafiya Dole(OPLD) would take
action to clear the mountains of the terrorists as soon as possible, adding
that the army was committed to clear the remnant of the terrorists in the north
east.
Buratai was in Gwoza to host the Nigerian
Army Medal Parade to honour officers and soldiers who had participated in
Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD). He explained that the army decided to bring the
event to Gwoza to reaffirm that the federal government was in control of all
territories in the country.
