*President celebrates, congratulates military By Levinus
Nwabughiogu ABUJA – Finally, Nigeria has won the war against Boko
Haram insurgency as troops, on Friday, crushed the last
enclave of the terrorists in the dreaded Sambisa forest in the
North East geo-political zone of the country; and President
Muhammadu Buhari is happy about it.

The development has reportedly caused the insurgents to flee the
forest while many were left dead. Excited by the development,
President Buhari, in a personally signed goodwill message  to
the troops on Saturday, celebrated the Nigerian Armed
Forces. While commending the gallantry of the Nigerian troops, the
President also charged them to be more courageous and never give
up. Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General TY Buratai commissions
motorcycles for troops.

He then called on Nigerians to be supportive of the activities
of the military by making available necessary information to
them.

The statement reads: “I am delighted at, and most proud of the
gallant troops of the Nigerian Army, on receipt of the long-awaited
and most gratifying news of the final crushing of Boko Haram
terrorists in their last enclave in Sambisa Forest. “I want to use
this opportunity to commend the determination, courage and
resilience of troops of Operation Lafiya Dole at finally entering
and crushing the remnants of the Boko Haram insurgents at “Camp
Zero”, which is located deep within the heart of Sambisa Forest. “I
was told by the Chief of Army Staff that the Camp fell at
about 1:35pm on Friday, December 23, and that the
terrorists are on the run, and no longer have a place to hide.

I urge you to maintain the tempo by pursuing them and bringing
them to justice. “I, therefore, call on all Nigerians to cooperate
and support the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies
by providing useful information that will expose all the terrorists
hiding among the populace. “Further efforts should be intensified
to locate and free our remaining Chibok girls still in captivity.
May God be with them. “I also want to congratulate and commend the
able leadership of the Nigerian Army in particular and indeed, that
of the Armed Forces in general, for making this possible. This, no
doubt, will go a long way in improving the security situation not
only in the North East, but the country in general.  But we
must not let our guards down.

“Once more, congratulations to our troops and all who, in one
way or the other, contributed to this most commendable and
momentous effort. May the Almighty continue to be with you. “I wish
you a Merry Christmas and a most rewarding and peaceful Year 2017
ahead,” the President concluded.
