The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai on Monday said the army was working to ensure that remnants of terrorist group, Boko Haram are totally eliminated.

Buratai said this while speaking with journalists at the media workshop, organised by the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information (NASPRI) at 81 Division Officers’ Mess, Lagos.

Represented by the Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Maj.-Gen. Peter Boje, Buratai said the terrorists will be eliminated on the battlefield soon.

“We are degrading their activities. Most of the areas that were initially occupied by the insurgents have been captured and a lot of them have dispersed.

“But again, there are elements of this Boko Haram that are scattered all over the North- East and if you know their characteristics, you will know they operate in small cells.

“So they come out and carry out small attacks and disappear. So, we are making efforts to restrategise, track and finally eliminate them from the battlefield,“ he said.
