The Nigerian Army has reiterated that no level of distraction would stop it from putting an end to insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria by December.

Theater Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Yushau Abubakar, on Sunday disclosed this in Maiduguri.

He said that the recent bombings were just an act of distraction, to divert their attention from achieving their commitment to end terrorism.

“I want to assure all that for every second that passes, we get more committed to fighting the insurgents; we cannot be deterred.

“We are doing as much as we could to ensure that we completely eradicate the insurgents as quickly as possible because we are aware of the timeline within which to complete the task.”

He revealed that the Military already have an idea of those involved in the recent suicide bombings in Maiduguri.

“We searched the houses and certain items that we recovered at the vicinity gave us some clues.

“Investigation on those that we suspect that are either participating or hiding, fueling or conniving with those that carried out those acts, is ongoing.

“They will be exposed in due course.

“The citizens need to know that security is their personal responsibility as individuals. They must be able to secure themselves and doing so means they need to be security conscious.

“Any suspicious movement within the environment should be reported to security agents immediately.”
