Lagbaja Urges Tough Action on Plateau Terrorists

Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, has directed troops to escalate their efforts against terrorists wreaking havoc in Plateau and nearby states.

This order follows a recent attack in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where at least 33 people lost their lives. The Army Chief’s directive emphasizes a more aggressive stance against these militants, particularly in light of previous attacks that claimed over 100 lives in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi LGs during Christmas Eve. Maj. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, conveyed the Army Chief’s message during his visit to the state, emphasizing the need for a decisive response to combat the terrorist threat.
