Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has stated that the insurgency affecting Nigeria, particularly in the Northeast, is not overpowering the nation’s troops.
Buratai made this known on Friday during an appearance on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He spoke while addressing ongoing efforts to combat insurgency and banditry across the country.
“I don’t see that the insurgency is somehow overwhelming the troops. We are okay. Now we have more enablers in terms of drones.
“A lot of platforms have been injected but the military still needs more of such platforms and the enablers.
“If you look at the landmass of the Northeast only, it’s quite enormous. This is what we have always talked about even during our time.
“If you look at it, the troops are so dispersed. Manpower and equipment are challenges,” he said.
