The new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Turkur Buratai, has warned troops against acts of indiscipline and cowardice in the ongoing campaign against the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East.

Buratai also urged the commanders to ensure a prompt and timely response to distress calls from communities in the besieged area.

The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in an electronic mail on Monday that the COAS made the comment during a visit to troops of 103 Battalion Nigerian Army, Konduga, Borno State, on Sunday.

Usman said that the Army Chief also renamed the military operation in the North-East from Operation Zaman Lafiya to Operation Lafiya Dole as part of the efforts to intensify the onslaught against the insurgents in the area.

He said that the change of name was to send out a strong message to the insurgents that they would not be allowed to perpetrate their heinous crimes in the region.

According to him, Buratai used the opportunity of his visit to assure the troops of the Federal Government’s commitment to the provision of necessary equipment for the fight against the insurgency.

Buratai who briefed the troops about his vision for the Army and resolved to end the insurgency commended them for their resilience and bravery.

“As part of the efforts to rejig and add renewed vigour to the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the country especially in the North-East, the Nigerian Army has decided to rename the “Operation Zaman Lafiya” to “Operation Lafiya Dole”. The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Major General Tukur Yusufu Buratai made this known at 103 Battalion Nigerian Army based in Konduga, Borno State today…

“The COAS also used the occasion to inform the troops of his vision and the resolve to end the activities of Boko Haram terrorists. He also assured them of the Federal Government’s support and that all necessary equipment and facilities would be provided to actualise the defeat of the insurgency.

“He commended them for their resilience, bravery and dedication and enjoined them to take the initiative and be more proactive. He commanded that troops should do more by pursuing and destroying Boko Haram terrorists within the bounds of Rules of Engagement.

“General Buratai further warned that he would not tolerate any act of indiscipline or cowardice from any soldier. He also exhorted commanders to be more proactive and respond promptly to distress calls. In line with his vision, some of the identified challenges in the frontline were proactively addressed through specific directives,” the statement read in part.
