The COAS who was reacting to questions from journalists in
Damaturu as to whether the over 4,000 soldiers that were sacked by the Army
during the Boko Haram fight would be recalled responded that; “I don’t know how
they would become a problem to us concerning your questions. But what I would
tell you is that I cannot tolerate indiscipline in the force,” Buratai replied.

celebrate Sallah with the troops is part of the measures to boost the morale of

the soldiers so as to come up with a better approach to the counter insurgency

Yobe State in particular. My presence here is to improve civil military
