A new Theater Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, a military operation against Boko Haram terrorosm in Northeast Nigeria, Major General Ibrahim Ali has taken over tour of duty today.
General Ali takes over from Major General Chris Musa who had been on duty since June, 2021.
General Musa’s 19 months tour of duty at the Theater saw the most dramatic moment since the creation of the Theater in 2015 when thousands of Boko Haram terrorists surrendered to troops .
However, General Musa said despite the feat, the successes are just a scratch on the surface of the issue on the ground.
He called on troops to see Boko Haram as enemies of the state and ensure they live up to their sworn role as protectors of the nation by taking the war to the nooks and hideouts of the terrorists.
The general who is taking over as the Commander Infantry Corp, Jaji, in Kaduna state said his regrets in the past 19 months was the death of a General and other troops during the course of operations.
The new TC said he would build upon the successes of his predecessor.
