Ex-Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, and his gallant troops for a display of sheer “gallantry and patriotism” against Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists.
According to Tsav, Buratai has once again silenced his critics and proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is worthy of President Muhammadu Buhari’s trust and that of Nigerians despite conspiracy.
Scores of insurgents lost their lives on Wednesday after the gallant troops repelled an attack in Damboa, a town 85km away from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The Nigerian soldiers were unscathed from a five-hour gun duel which left dead bodies of the insurgents and their 19 abandoned trucks littered on the ground.
Being a security expert himself, Alhaji Tsav likened the Nigerian troops to their American counterparts with zero tolerance for terrorists.
He expressed pride in their consistent show of bravery and courage amidst distraction by “paid critics behind beguile negative scripts”.
Tsav added that this may not have been achieved without Buratai’s focused leadership and tenacity, who he says has done enough to earn his respect and that of all Nigerians.
This victory, according to the ex-CP, however, is an indication that all the military needed was encouragement and not disparagement from Nigerians.
