CDS to troops: You’re not complete until you kill Boko Haram insurgents

Gen. Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, has tasked Nigerian troops to find and kill Boko Haram terrorists before they attack Nigerians.

Gen. Musa, while giving the order to troops of Operation Hadin Kai at the Maimalari cantonment, Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, said a soldier who comes to the theatre without killing at least one Boko Haram fighter is not complete

He urged the troops to take the battle to the insurgents, saying, “Don’t just come and sleep in the theatre; make sure you look for Boko Haram and kill. Anybody who enters the theatre and finishes without killing one Boko Haram is incomplete.

“So you must make sure before you go, look for them; that’s the only way we can finish them completely.

“They should not be looking for us; we should be looking for them. Do not go and sit down until they attack and we repel; there is nothing like repel; go and find and kill them.”

He further let the troops know that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recognises and appreciates their sacrifices and commitment in their fight against insurgency in the country.

“The president said he is happy with us and wishes us all the very best,” he added. “He also reminds us that it is not yet over but that we are moving on the right track. If we continue the way we are going, very soon, Boko Haram will come to an end.”
