The Nigerian military on Monday assured Nigerians that the reign of terror imposed by Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria will soon be brought to an end.

The Acting Director, Defence Information, Colonel Rabe Abubakar made this known while receiving some journalists who visited him in his office at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja.

The Defence Spokesman pointed out that with the renewed commitment of the military leadership and the determination of the troops in the mission areas, the end to insurgency is imminent.

He commended the success of the coordination between  the Nigerian Air Force and the ground troops of the Nigerian Army that has uprooted the Boko Haram insurgency from their strongholds, including their several camps in Sambisa forest.

Colonel Abubakar, described as unpatriotic acts for any citizen, no matter under whatsoever guise, to carry arms against his/her own people and the country.

Abubakar paid tributes to the troops for their ever-ready posture to tackle head-on all forms of criminality by the terrorists. He attributed the feat recorded so far to motivation and injection of right arsenal in the prosecution of the battle against insurgency.

While making comment on the issue of suicide bombings, Colonel Abubakar re-assured the public that the Defence Headquarters is re-strategising to halt such inhuman activities.

He said the proactive measures put in place by the military led to the arrest of a suicide bomber who wanted to blow up Yankari Motor Park in Bauchi was arrested before he could commit his heinous crime.

He therefore appealed to the citizens to be on alert and conscious of crowded and populated public places including markets and places of worship. He charged members of the public to collaborate with the military and other security agencies in the supply of timely information that could assist the agencies to be pro-active in their resolve to contain insurgency.
