As part of ongoing counter insurgency operations, the Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE has been conducting several clearance as well as cordon and search operations in urban and rural areas within the Theatre.
\nThe clearance operations effort has been yielding several successes. It has forced the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) to change tactics and resort to employment of suicide bombers to target military locations and the populace.
\nThis necessitated the need to intensify Cordon and Search in Maiduguri metropolis and environment.
\nIn the last one week cordon and search operations were conducted in Jiddari \u2013Polo, Muna Garage, Jakana amongst several other areas. On 10th August 2017, Theatre Command received information from one of its credible sources that some high value BHT suspects had infiltrated into Pompomari Bye Pass.
\nIt therefore became expedient to take preemptive action by combing the general area through a cordon and search operations. \u00a0The operation was successfully conducted as over 30 houses were searched. \u00a0One of such included a property which was said to be occupied by United Nations Staff, although the property did not carry a UN designation. \u00a0On the whole, operation in the general area was successfully concluded but no arrest was made because the suspects were not found.
\nThe command wishes to assure the general public that these operations are being conducted to safeguard lives and properties but not targeted at any individual or group. \u00a0The general public is cautioned to avoid peddling rumours which may cause disaffection and to remain law abiding.
