The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Kenneth Minimah, has charged new officers of the Army, to be prepared to destroy the insurgents of Islamic terrorists sect, Boko Haram.
On Saturday, during the passing out parade of Direct Short Service Commission Course 22/2015, held at the Nigeria Army School of Infantry, Jaji, Kaduna, Minimah vowed that the Nigerian Army would defeat Boko Haram.
He said that the insurgents “have been seriously degraded”, and that the army would continue to repel and attack them until peace and stability is restored in the North East.
Minimah also challenged the new officers to be prepared to join the war“ to crush those bigoted miscreants.”
He said: “You are aware of our current national security challenges, particularly in the North Eastern part of the country.”
“As we continue to make progress towards ending the Boko Haram insurgency, you will be joining the rank of officers and men who have demonstrated tremendous gallantry and valour in defence of our fatherland against the terrorists.
“Therefore, you must be ready to contribute your quota towards taming these bandits. You will be leading men who have firmly resolved that “Never Again” will a band of bigoted miscreants be allowed to unleash havoc on our country and its citizens.”
