BOKO HARAM MOKING THE BRING BACK OUR GIRLS CAMPAIGNERS

                    

               The Chief of Army Staff of the Nigerian army, (COAS) Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah, faulted insinuations that the Islamic deadly terror group, Boko Haram sect has more sophisticated weapons that the Nigerian Army as being claimed in some quarters.

          Minimah said this when he visited the 44 Army Reference Hospital Kaduna where some wounded officers and soldiers, from all the theaters of the operations in the north eastern states were receiving treatment.


   “Insurgents are not more sophisticated in terms of weapons. Do they have ship, helicopter, and aircraft? Even what they have are stolen, so they cannot be more sophisticated. They do not have more sophisticated weapons than the army”.

He disclosed that his routine visit was also going to be used to present Purple Heart medals to the wounded but brave officers and soldiers in recognition of their gallant efforts towards the army’s continued determination to fight all forms of terrorism in the country.“It is part of welfare program to rekindle the fighting spirit and troop efficiency among the soldiers and officers.

“It is also part of the extension of the concern of the Nigerian army to officers or solders injured or killed during the operation”.
