The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Saturday said the Nigerian military had so far rescued over 20,000 persons kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents.
According to Buratai, who said this shortly after inaugurating the Nigerian Army Officers Wife Association’s Day Care, Nursery and Primary School at Ribadu Cantonment, Kaduna, the military remained resolute in not only rescuing those abducted by the insurgents, but rooted the criminals out completely.
The army chief frowned on calls by Nigerians to dialogue with the insurgents in the North-East.
He appealed to Nigerians to provide useful information that could boost the rescue operations and noted that the move by the Federal Government to negotiate with the insurgents would not stop the military’s rescue operations.
The Army boss had earlier visited the headquarters of One Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, where he had a closed-door meeting with officers and men of the division.
