The Nigerian Army says it will not relent towards fighting insecurity in the country.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC ) 82 Division Enugu, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja made this commitment during a courtesy call with his team to Governor Willie Obiano at the Governor’s Lodge, Onitsha.
The GOC said that he resumed office a week ago and that his visit to the governor was to customarily introduce himself and assess the situation in the area considering the security challenges the state has experienced in the past weeks.
While thanking the Governor for providing necessary assistance to the Nigeria army and other military formations in the state, he frowned at the attacks by some criminal elements on military deployment especially along the Onitsha, Orlu, Owerri corridor.
Major General Lagbaja assured that he will compare notes with other commanders on ground to devise ways to quickly address the security challenges in the state, and pleged the loyalty of the Nigeria army in fighting crime both in the state and country at large.
In response, Governor Obiano appreciated the military for their zeal to fight insecurity within and outside the state, noting that his administration looks forward to working with him.
