The Borno Women Peace Restoration Group (BWPRG) has expressed hope that the State will begin to experience lasting peace with the aggressiveness and professionalism of the Armed Forces in the fight against insurgency.
The secretary of the women’s group, Amina Mele, in a statement on Tuesday, welcomed ongoing military operations in the state, especially clearance operations in the Sambisa forest.
Mele noted that the recent rescue of a kidnapped Chibok schoolgirl, Saratu Dauda, and the uncovering of the ISWAP underground armoury in Sambisa forest, by the Armed Forces, under the leadership of Gen. LEO Irabor, was a sign of good things to come.
Recall that the Theatre Commander, North East Joint Operation, Hadin Kai, Major General Ibrahim Ali, had disclosed that a total of 183 Chibok school girls have so far been rescued from captivity with 93 schoolgirls remaining.
“We are happy over the fatherly disposition of the present Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. LEO Irabor towards the plight of families that have been under stress since the abduction of their daughters in 2014.
“We not only hope that ongoing military operations in our state and the entire North East will restore total peace, but bring back our daughters in the hand of the terrorists,” she added.
