The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai has disclosed that the rampaging Fulani herdsmen killing and maiming of innocent Nigerians may have link with members of the dreadful Boko Haram sect.

 Buratai who disclosed this during a visit to Governor Ibikunle Amosun in his office in Abeokuta and other military formations in Ogun state urged all Nigerians to be security conscious

Speaking at the Oke Mosun office of Governor Ibikunle Amosun in Abeokuta on the security situation, Buratai said Nigerians should not rule out links between the violent herdsmen and Boko Haram sect.

While appealing for calm, Buratai appealed to Nigerians to be security conscious as some of the fleeing members of the sect are moving to other regions to perpetrate their evil act stressing that the army and other security agencies are working endlessly to unravel the misery.

 The Chief of Army Staff debunked insinuation that members of the Boko Haram Sect have recaptured some areas in the North East. He said no Nigerian  community is presently under the control of Boko Haram as the insurgents have been flushed out of their hideouts while all lost grounds have been recaptured.

 While responding Governor Ibikunle Amosun commended officers and men of the Nigerian Army for the feat achieved so far in the fight against Boko Haram stressing that all Nigerians are solidly behind them.

He enjoined officers and men of the army not to give up the fight but should censure that lasting peace return to the troubled areas in the North East.

Buratai, after the visit to Governor Amosun equally visited some military formations in Ogun state.
