A Nigerian soldier returns home after fighting Boko Haram terrorists in Sambisa forest
A
gallant Nigerian soldier fighting for the country against Boko Haram
terrorists has surprised his family after returning home.
In line with the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General TY
Buratai’s determination of rotating overstayed troops operating in the
northeast as part of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, soldiers of 29 Battalion
based in Port Harcourt, have been rotated and returned to their main
unit amidst cheers and jubilation from their families and colleagues.
The troops have served in various units under Operation LAFIYA DOLE
where they contributed immensely to the successes of routing out and
defeat of the Boko Haram terrorists in the North East.
In his address to the returnee troops, the General Officer
Commanding (GOC) 6 Division Nigerian Army, Major General EO Udoh,
welcomed the troops back to their unit after a successful tour of duty
in the North East and applauded them for their selfless sacrifices to
the nation.
He further enjoined them to pray for their colleagues who are still
in the theatre for God’s protection and continued victory over the
remnants of the enemies of our great nation, Boko Haram terrorists.
The GOC further reassured the troops on their welfare and that of
their families. He also enjoined the troops to remain professional in
discharging their duties with the love of their country at heart as they
would soon be deployed for the Division’s routine operations after
their disembarkation leave.
The rotation of overstayed soldiers in Operation LAFIYA DOLE is
ongoing as more troops are being inducted while those that stayed long
are de-inducted from the theatre of operations.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Colonel Aminu Iliyasu Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 6 Division Nigerian Army.
