Replacement of troops: Army moves a thousand soldiers from Lagos to Borno

THE Nigeria Army has com­menced replacement of troops fighting in the North East with about 1,000 soldiers and officers drawn from the 242 Reconnaissance Battalion in Badagry, Lagos.
Chief of Army Staff, Lieu­tenant General Tukur Buratai, who addressed the soldiers at the weekend charged them to go the North East and wipe out Boko Haram “but, you must fight within the rules of engagement.”

General Buratai said the soldiers must respect human rights and ensure that civil­ians and captured terrorists are treated humanely.
He said the military will maintain the tempo in the op­erations in the North Eastern part of the country until insur­gents are defeated, adding that the defeat of the insurgents is a service to Nigeria.
