Gen. Lucky Irabor, and service chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Sunday, Army spokesman Brig.- Gen. Mohammed Yerima announced the arrest of\u00a0 one Modu Ari, for providing Boko Haram terrorists with vital information to assist their attack on troops at Kamuya on the border of Borno and Yobe states.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the troops at the Theatre Command Headquarters in Maiduguri, Magashi said: \u201cYou should not be afraid of the bullet because it can even meet you in the house if it means you dying by it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you are not meant to die by the bullet, it will never kill you even at the heart of a war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister assured them of the government\u2019s readiness to improve on their welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Theatre Commander, Maj. Gen. Farouq Yahaya, lauded the sustained commitment shown to the operations of the Theatre by the minister, the chief of defence staff and the service chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Stressing that the troops were grateful for the minister\u2019s visit,\u00a0 he recalled that immediately after their appointments, Irabor led the service chiefs to visit the Theatre Command headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Yahaya explained that apart from collective tours,\u00a0\u00a0 the service chiefs also visited individually to ensure smooth operations.<\/p>\n<p>The minister and his team held a meeting with component commanders.<\/p>\n<p>Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have come under heavy attacks, the\u00a0 most recent being in Damasak.<\/p>\n<p>Army Spokesman Gen. Yerima in a statement, said: \u201cTroops of Operation Lafiya Dole\u00a0\u00a0 arrested suspected Boko Haram informant whose spying activities and that of his accomplices were responsible for the attacks on troops position by terrorists in Kamuya, Yobe State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe informant who was identified as Modu Ari was apprehended by troops of 27 Task Force Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn interrogation, he confessed to having revealed troops\u2019 movements and position to his Boko Haram collaborators. Investigation is however ongoing to unravel the network of local informants whose nefarious activities have endangered troops on clearance operations around the fringes of Timbuktu Triangle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unfortunate sabotage of troops movement by Ari and his accomplices made it possible for the terrorists to attack the rear element of troops on patrol. Though the attack was swiftly repelled by troops from the Tactical Headquarters of 27 Task Force Brigade and Army Super Camp 3 Buratai, own troops suffered some casualties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn spite of the setback, the Chief of Army Staff has encouraged troops of Operation Tura Takaibango to keep their fighting spirit up and to remain dedicated in the effort to flush out the remnants of the terrorists as quickly as possible. He charged them not to relent even in the face of gross unpatriotic acts of some locals who are snitching on their movements and positions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bashir Magashi, the Minister of Defence has dared Nigerian soldiers to step up the fight against terrorists by\u00a0becoming more daring and should not be afraid of \u201cthe bullet.\u201d The defence minister who is a retired Brig.-General also stated that how to secure the country should be on the minds of our soldiers while battling insurgents.
