The
Nigerian Army said on Sunday that it will soon launch an attack on a remote
Island in Lake Chad where Boko Haram fighters now use as their new operational
base.
This was disclosed by the Acting General
Officer commanding, GOC 8 Task Force Division, Stevenson Olabanji, when he
visited troops of the 118 Task Force Battalion under his division at their
frontline location in Gudumbali village of Guzamala Local Government Area of
Borno State.
A statement issued by the spokesman of the Task
Force Division, Timothy Antigha, quoted the GOC issuing motivational orders to
the troops.
Mr. Olabanji, a brigadier general, asked the
soldiers to always make sure their weapons are serviceable as the strike order
on the secret Boko Haram location could be given at any time.
He also said the awaited operation might be the
final one that would bring about the end of Boko Haram insurgency.
