The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Yusuf Buratai, while inaugurating the team, said the CJTF was drafted into the counter insurgency fight due to their superior knowledge of the terrain.

Buratai said, “Identifying the enclaves of the terrorists as they move from one location to another is useful. The counter insurgency fight should not be left to the military alone.”

At the event, the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, called on Boko Haram terrorists to drop their weapons and embrace the peace process being initiated by the government.
