The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Baratai, has tasked officers and men of the army to deal decisively with criminal elements threatening the country’s security.
The army chief stated this on Thursday in Bauchi while inaugurating 19 newly refurbished war vehicles refurbished by the Armoured Corps of the Army, Bauchi.
According to Buratai, who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Planning, General Lamidi Adeosun, the army like other arms of the Nigerian military has the mandate of providing external security to Nigeria by protecting its territories.
He, therefore, charged troops to deal decisively with criminals across the nation with a view to restoring peace to the country.
