Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state has reportedly been rocked with at least two bomb blasts. It is unclear if Boko Haram insurgents are behind the blasts.
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno has directed his fury to the Nigerian Army (NA) over the attack on his convoy by insurgents at Baga town on Wednesday, July 29.
The chief of army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has stated that Nigeria is safer and more secured than it was in 2014. The visit occurred on Sunday.
About 601 deradicalised ex Boko Haram fighters have graduated at the DRR camp in Mallam Sidi, Gombe state. This was disclosed by Major General Bamidele Shafa.
Two soldiers who were earlier abducted by Boko Haram fighters after an attack in Borno have been rescued by policemen attached to the counter-terrorism unit.
Apart from helping to deescalate criminal activities in many parts of Nigeria, the soldiers have undertaken to do more to assure citizens of their good plans.
The monarch also counselled that Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the army's relationship should be strengthened, adding that there is a need for synergy.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday, July 5, said the recent Boko Haram attack on a United Nations helicopter in Borno will be met with severe consequences.
It is such quick actions by the military that have endeared it to the people as security experts say this was the element missing in the past administration.
