The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Leo Irabor, has allayed the fears of Nigerians on the ongoing mass surrendering by members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect.
Irabo gave the advice in a statement issued by Maj.-Gen. Benjamin Sawyer, Director, Defence Information at the end of an interactive session which the CDS had with retired senior military officers residing in the North-East Zone.
The session held on Tuesday in Yola, Adamawa State.
Irabor expressed appreciation to the people of the North-East for supporting the military operations.
“Gen. Irabor posited that the solutions to the North-East security challenges lie in the region, as he was optimistic that the situation would get better and better in the days ahead.
“On the recent fear and apprehension making the rounds about the mass surrendering of Boko Haram /ISWAP ex-members, the CDS reassured Nigerians to trust the relevant agencies that have been tasked with responsibility of planning the rehabilitation of repented insurgents,” Irabo was quoted as saying in the statement.
According to him, the military will deal with the matter for the good of the region, as there would be no loose ends.
