The Theatre Command of Operation Hadin Kai has displayed weapons seized from the Sambisa Forest enclave of Boko Haram and ISWAP.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Farouk Yahaya, who inspected the weapons on Tuesday, commended the troops for capturing the large number of weapons.
He was taken round the equipment by the General Officer Commanding 7 Division of the Nigeria Army, Major-General Christopher Musa.
Yahaya assured Nigerians of the Army’s readiness to get rid of all terrorists in the country.
He asked the terrorists to lay down their arms as soon as possible before it is too late.
“The weapons that were captured from these terrorists speak for themselves,” the army chief said.
“And we cannot but appreciate the troops and urge them to do even more. I am very impressed with the commitment and zeal I am seeing in the theatre and indeed all our theatre of operations.
“Challenges are part of operations but the military and other agencies are not deterred by the few setbacks we’ve had.
“But we are determined to defeat this enemy. Our call to all these terrorists and bandits is to know that the tide is against them.”
