Boko Haram: No army can have enough equipment for its operations – Buratai
that no army can have enough equipment for its operations.
He spoke in response to the recent killing of about 100 soldiers in
Metele, Borno State.
Speaking at the 2018 Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference in
Maiduguri, the Borno capital, with the theme: "Optimising the
operational efficiency of the Nigerian Army towards safeguarding
democracy and national security in Nigeria," Buratai said the army has
started to strategise to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the
North-East.
According to Buratai: "Internally, there has been violence in some
sections of the country, which constitutes security threats to
Nigeria's democracy and existence. The causes of the crises are often
for ideological, economic, political, religious and ethnic reasons.
"The fight against Boko Haram in the North-East will continue
unabatedly. The army is collaborating with Chad and Cameroon, and we
are currently conducting joint operations in adjoining areas.
"No army can have enough equipment to conduct its operations. So it is
incumbent on all commanders to know that we are involved in an
asymmetric warfare which calls for dynamism and flexibility."
