Olukolade says the military will soon wipe out terrorists

by Ranti Joseph

The Director of Defence Information, Chris Olukolade, said the military was in the final phase of wiping out terrorists from the North-East.

Olukolade on Thursday said this at the just concluded media tour to Gwoza and other operational areas in the North-East.

“The tour is even beyond Gwoza and while we were at Gwoza, you possibly are aware that our troops had taken Yamkeke and Bita. Any moment from now the operation the will be completed,” he said.

“So you see that the advance is still continuing and the tempo of the mission is high and we are really in the final phase of the mission,” Olukolade said.

“What we should be doing is consolidating on the level of synergy in this mission; you can see that the coordination among the armed forces had really improved.

“And it is responsible for the successes of the mission lately and you also see that collaboration with other security agencies had made a lot of impact on the successes recorded. We should sustain it so that subsequently such incidents should not develop at all,” he said.

He said the stabilisation of the environment was on-going as well as ensuring that the military kept to the slogan of “never again that the Nigerian military tolerate this kind of situation”.

He, however, called on Nigerians for support and assured them that the military would not disappoint them noting that what was left to be captured by the troops was minimal.

“The area left to be captured are very minimal and what is important now is the stabilisation of the territories taken back and the mopping up operations; cordon and search was on-going,” he said.
