The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has reassured Nigerians that the service personnel are determined to completely eradicate terrorists, bandits, and other threats.

The Army Chief added that the service was focused and determined to bring peace to the country.

Nigeria has been afflicted by numerous security challenges, including terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping, resulting in the loss of lives, abduction of many, and displacement of citizens.

In his Easter message on Sunday, Lagbaja noted that the service had recorded successes in the ongoing operations against terrorism and banditry among others.

He said, “The Nigerian Army remains committed, determined, and focused on ensuring the total defeat of insurgents, marauding bandits, and all other forms of external and internal aggressions disturbing the peace of the country.

“Accordingly, under my leadership, the Nigerian Army has continued to record tremendous successes in various operations at home and abroad. You all can attest to our achievements so far, especially in the ongoing Operation Hadin Kai in the North East and other internal security operations nationwide.

“While urging all officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army to use the season to pray for our continued successes, I wish our Christian faithful and, indeed, all Nigerian Army personnel and their families a wonderful and Happy Easter Celebration.”


The COAS stated that he had provided the needed training and resources for his men to tackle the insecurity ravaging the country.

“In line with my command philosophy, ‘To transform the Nigerian Army into a well-trained, equipped and highly-motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibilities’, I have ensured the implementation of quality training and equipping toward combating the myriads of security threats confronting the nation,” he said.

He assured his men that he would prioritise their welfare and training.

“As we continue to push towards the final onslaught on the adversaries troubling our nation, I assure you that the welfare of officers and soldiers, including training and provision of the needed equipment, will always be prioritized to enable us to discharge our constitutional responsibilities effectively.

” I, however, charge personnel of the service to use the Easter celebration to offer prayers against all forms of negative forces militating against the peace and progress of Nigeria,” he added.

Wishing you guys all the best.

The most foolish army on earth,they reveal all their plans before actions why won't they fail.

Bombing is what we will hear of
And soldiers dead

Be careful o COAS

Hopefully

Utter nonsense and rubbish propaganda

What we are expecting to read is Army have defeated the terrorists, all this will shall na familiar lyrics

COMRADES another incoming government can achieve that, not the current APC's government

We hope so

Can terrorists defeat another terrorists?

Defeat, defeated that is what we have been hearing for the past 8 years yet nothing. Terrorism is an aspect of internal revenue generation for the north, they should be sincere with themselves most of them even in the military are in of the terrorist. Defeat ke

That's what I pray for 🙏

hmmm

Carry on!

IPOB must be crush. The terrorist organisation MUST NOT be allowed to see the light of the day or even bud.
Unknown Gun Men must be 'vandalised' and destabilised.
ESN must be overpowered.
Boko Haram must be eliminated.
Bandits and Kidnappers must meet their end.

Story for the gods.

you guys sound defeated

For you to keep calling them "bandits" at this day and age means either you are working with them, or they have defeated you already.

Words of a failure 😆😆😆

Same rhetorics , same statement, same tactics and u expect results 😆😆

Na so.

I'm not disappointed, propaganda nzogbu nzogbu government of we will, we shall, FGN vows to, we are set to... We commences, we are about to...

Another lamba

Just know that the military has prepared a new repentant package and goodie bags for another batch of terrorists

Nigeria has a peculiar terrorist problem
multi-faceted and will require a multi-dimensional approach
If EFCC can de-glamorize flaunting ill gotten wealth
and the government can make sure the state allocations are spent on the citizens
and the corrupt looters are fished out and exposed and prosecuted


The terrorist will decrease, but just to let you know, only guns will not solve the terrorist problem in Nigeria.
You have to address it like a social vice. When one man steals government money and buys 50 cars in his house.
Its hard to convince the neighbor not indulge in social vices to feed his family.

Its a war that has to be fought by turning of the fuel supply and not necessarily extinguishing the flames only.

Till then sir...


We are very familiar with this type of statement and we are tired.

Less talk, more action

Ojoajogwu (God of battle)
We will surly win this battle against terrorism.
