In an interview with newsmen shortly after a routine
visit to troops in Betta, near Sambisa forest, the
Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole , Major-
General Yushau Abubakar, said the military will
capture Sambisa forest, the hideout of the Boko
Haram terrorists, before the December presidential
deadline.

Abubakar said:.

“We have achieved a lot and we are still doing
much, but you know that the job is still there
until we finish it. We are very close to Sambisa,
we must enter and capture the forest before the
Presidential deadline.”
“Our major concern is that we must fight Boko
Haram to a standstill and ensure that we
eliminate them,” he said.

He added:

“I am happy that we are progressing very well,
we have not reached the promised land but we
are making progress. We are making efforts to
clear all Boko Haram terrorists camps.”

Abubakar said a number of Boko Haram terrorists
had been taken into custody after they surrendered
their weapons.

“For those surrendering we have shown all the
human side of the military to them, we are
receiving them and some of them are very
impressed by what they are seeing.
“We are screening and de-radicalising them for
eventual re-integration back to society.”

Abubakar said his visit was based on a directive by
the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) that they have to be
close to the troops.


He continued:

“We must be able to know what they are doing,
guide them, look at their challenges, move with
them and encourage them to fight the war. When
I addressed the officers that was exactly the
message I gave them.”
