The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has called for deliberate effort to remove mines from the Sambisa after the sack of the terrorists from the forest.
The Chief of Army Staff, who made the call in an interview in Maiduguri yesterday, said that this effort will require the assistance of the United Nations, relevant NGOs and development partners.
According to Buratai, this is because such project requires much resources and effort that the country alone may not be able to finance.
He, however, said the army had acquired more equipment for the demining to make the areas where troops operate in the Sambisa safe for them.
On remnants of the terrorists, Buratai said of the three affected states by insurgency in the North-East, Yobe and Adamawa were now almost “100 per cent free of the insurgent’’ except Borno of which is being followed up.
