“My purpose of coming here is to see all of you, to discuss with our colleagues from Chad and to see how we can improve our operational efficiency, we have discussed at length with their officers, they have told us their problems and everything is needed for you to improve in the conduct of this operations, so our prayer is that all of you will continue with good works you have been doing,” he said.

While commending the recent achievements of the Sector 3 Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD) in eliminating dozens of terrorists in the axis, the Minister urged the troops to remain steadfast and sustain the tempo.

In his remarks, the Commander of the Sector 3 Operations Lafiya Dole, Maj Gen. Abdulmalik Bulama Biu thanked the minister and his entourage for visiting the frontlines to boost the morale of the troops.

Biu said the sector had launched “Operation kamadougu link” designed to totally eliminate Boko Haram from their hideout in every part of the Lake Chad.

According to him, the Operations conducted in Northern Borno and Tumbus traversing Niger and through Yobe corridors had yielded successful clearance operations in several Boko Haram hideout.

The Sector Commander said the troops also destroyed notorious terrorists enclaves in Duguri Arge around the Tumbus, Karere, Gashigar, Arege, Metele and Malam fatori, in the fringes of Lake chad, Borno state.

“The successful operations led to the killing of 37 Boko Haram Fighters, recovery of four Guntrucks and dozens of other arms and Ammunition,” he said.
