A new army division has been established in northern Borno to clear the area and its environs of remaining Boko Haram terrorists, Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai on Wednesday stated.
“The Nigerian Army, therefore, remains poised to the extermination of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria; today, they can no longer hold any territory as it used to be in the past that is why they have resorted to the use of IEDs to hit soft targets.
“We have established the 8 division located in the northern part of Borno specifically to clear the area of the remaining terrorists elements while another division, 6 Division, will be established in the South-South,’’ the boss said.
He said the division would soon become fully operational with logistics and manpower deployments. He added that plans were underway to establish another division to be known as the Nigerian Army 6 Division with Headquarters in the South-South region of the country.
