We are winning the war against terror – Army

The Military has implored Nigerians to maintain faith in them, and believe they have the ability to defeat the menace of Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram.

This was said by Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, who gave assurances that Nigeria will win the war against terror.

While speaking with journalists at the Presidential Villa after a breakfast meeting between service Chief’s and President Goodluck Jonathan, he stated that the purpose of the sit-down was to brief President Jonathan on the security situation in the country.

He said: “Of course, you are aware of the security situation in the country, the President thought it fit to call us this morning for us to come and brief him about the current situation of things. We have told the President exactly where we are and our future plans. As you know, we can’t talk about our future plans here, that will mean us telling the enemy what we are doing.”

He also assured that the troops were winning the war against insurgency, saying: “We are certainly not losing it. We are winning the war. Don’t worry, Nigerians should have faith in their military. The nation will win this war. Elections will hold there. Don’t worry”.

Badeh also harped on the Boko Haram members arrested by the DSS and the phantom ceasefire agreement with the sect.

He said: “It is better not to discuss those things. SSS is on it, they are doing their own investigation. They did a briefing yesterday and they have told you exactly what they are doing. It is better we leave the SSS to handle that one.”
