The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has charged the GOC, 8 Task Force Division, Major General Ali Nani, to beef up security against attacks by remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists.
Buratai gave the charge on Saturday at Gubio in Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno State.
He specifically charged the GOC to ensure that terrorists do not attack communities in the area again.
Boko Haram terrorists had on March 15 attacked the community.
Buratai said: “You must ensure that the incident of March 15 do not happen again.”
Buratai, who was in Gubio to inaugurate a Mobile Clinic for the troops of 5 Brigade, promised to provide a “level 2” medical care for them.
He said the Maiduguri-Magumeri-Gubio-Damasak Road, which was re-opened on December 25, 2016, “must be kept safe for people to do their businesses”.
The German Government donated the Mobile Clinic equipped with all necessary facilities, including intensive care unit, to Nigeria in 2016.
