Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Buratai in what can be described as a deserved reward promoted three soldiers for their outstanding performance. The soldiers are men of Operation Lafiya Dole who are fighting against insurgency.
They were promoted to the next rank when the Army boss visited their camp on Sunday, February 16. The three soldiers, Felix Ugwu, Kehinde Goban, and Ishaq Yesif are serving at Super Camp 3 in Buratai, Biu local government area of Borno state.
In a related development, the Nigerian military had been urged to change its strategy in the fight against terrorism in the northeastern part of the country. Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno state, gave this advice while speaking at a meeting with President Buhari at the palace of Abubakar Elkanemi, Shehu of Borno.
