New General Officer Commanding, 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maj-Gen. Abdul Ibrahim has said that the military is re-strategising under the Super Camps concept to end Boko Haram terrorism in Borno and Northeast region.
The GOC hinted that the new strategies are to project fighting powers on wheels to emergency response areas of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.
He unfolded the fighting strategy last Wednesday, while addressing troops at the Damboa road front lines, in Borno and that the strategy, was to force the terrorists to surrender and restore economic activities with increased surveillance and intelligence sharing.
Hear him, “I’m just coming to the theatre at a time when we have the change in our strategies.
“What we have now, is the Super Camp concept. It’s a concept in warfare, whereby we have strongly held positions with reasonable fighting resources.
“From the super camps, we are able to project fighting powers into the various response areas of insurgency affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.”
According to him, the army has discovered that criminal and Boko Haram elements have the mobility of attacking forward operational bases (FOBs); with losses of fighting equipment, stressing that “We still have remnants of Boko Haram terrorists marauding to be dealt with the super camp new fighting strategies.
“Our aim is to force the terrorists to surrender and restore economic activities with increased intelligence sharing,” the GOC said.
