By Ndahi Marama, Maiduguri
Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District, has called on the Nigerian military to intensify efforts towards the rescue of victims abducted from communities across Southern Borno, including the schoolchildren from Mussa and Lassa, passengers abducted along the Buratai axis and the remaining victims from Ngoshe.
Ndume made the appeal during a visit to the Theatre Command, North East ‘Operation HADIN KAI’, where he commended the Nigerian military for its sustained efforts in combating insurgency and restoring relative peace across the region.
This is as the Nigerian Army has disclosed plans to recruit about 1,000 Southern Borno youths, mostly from Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State into the military, as part of efforts to strengthen security and improve military presence across Southern Borno and adjoining parts of Adamawa State.
