Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has commended troops, especially the Air Task Force, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, for their heroic and patriotic actions which resulted in the successes they have recorded.
This was disclosed the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sagir Musa on Saturday, January 16, 2021.
The commendation came after an ambush by troops of Operation TURA TAKAIBANGO against Boko Haram terrorists, when they attempted to attack troops’ location at the outskirts of Marte, in Borno State.
