As the multi-national troops intensify efforts to crush the deadly Boko Haram insurgents, the sect is also doubling efforts to gather more recruits.
The Coordinator of the National Information Centre (NIC), Mike Omeri said on Thursday that intelligence reports indicate considerable movement of Boo Haram recruits from locations such as Geidam, Mairi and Dupcha, in Borno State to training camps.
However, Omeri, assured that the Nigerian military forces have been fully mobilised and deployed against the insurgents, who are being chased and roundly subdued.
He advised members of the public to exercise a high level of vigilance and also support the effort of the military to ensure hitch-free elections and a return to normalcy in the North East.
“We urge the public to exercise a high level of vigilance and support the military to ensure hitch-free elections and a return to normalcy in the general area, soonest.
“We also seize this opportunity to restate government’s commitment to keeping the country and its citizens safe from those who seek to destroy the nation,” he said.
The NIC coordinator also enjoined the civil society organisations and politicians to refrain from “disruptive and inciting statements”.
Prompt News reports that the troops have recorded positive results of late and military high command is condiment that within weeks, the sect would be completely defeated.
