The new elected Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, yesterday
said under his command Boko Haram will have no room to operate. According to
him he has no mercy for abuse of human rights, killings and destruction
of property.
He went on saying that Boko Haram would either beg for peace or face
the rage of highly motivated soldiers.
He also re-named the operational code of the counter
insurgency efforts from “Operation Zaman Lafiya” to “Operation Zaman Lafiya
Dole”, which in Hausa means ‘the quest for peace becomes a must’. Continue
below to read part of his address speech yesterday.
“The ongoing activities of Boko Haram is assuming an
alarming dimensions in Borno state and other parts of the north east. We will
not tolerate the killing of citizens and destruction of property; in as much as
we urge you (troops) to adhere strictly to human rights abuses, the time to
crush Boko Haram and other criminal activities in this country is now or
never.”
“As Chief of Army
Staff, I will be actively involved in this ‘Operation Zaman Lafiya Dole’ to end
the madness of Boko Haram if I will have your collective maximum support and
cooperation.
“My doors will always remain open to all of you for
constructive criticism and advice towards restoration of peace in this country.
“Therefore, we are here to identify with you and to officially
inform you that as from today henceforth, we have changed our Operational Code
from ‘Operation Zaman Lafiya’ to ‘Operation Zaman Lafiya Dole’.
