Despite the increasing suicide bombings in the Northeast, the Defence Headquarters on Wednesday said troops will soon neutralize the Boko Haram insurgents.
It also said the insurgents were already in disarray and opted to wreak havoc while fleeing from their camps.
The DHQ gave the assurance in a statement issued by the Acting Director of Defence Information, Col. Rabe Abubakar.
The statement said: “The Defence Headquarters has condemned in its entirety the spate of suicide attacks in the Northeast where scores of innocent lives are lost on regular basis. The latest being the suicide bombing at Sabon Gari market in Borno State.
“Those perpetrating these heinous crimes are callous, barbaric and monsters whose activities will soon become a thing of the past.
“The military is intensifying efforts to continue to break the bones of the terrorists and wish to re-state and reassure Nigerians that it is not relenting in its efforts to rid the country of terrorism and any act of criminalities.
“Every step is being taken to neutralize the capability of terrorists whose activities still continue to constitute danger to civil populace as they are in disarray while running away from their former safe haven and no longer capable of confronting the troops.
“Defence Headquarters is therefore appealing to the general public to be extra vigilant and be wary of strange faces and objects in their localities.
“Asymmetric warfare calls for collective effort of both the general public and the security agencies in information gathering and sharing.
“The public is advised to always give timely information to the security agencies in order to avert the re-occurrence of the ugly incidence.”
