A
Nigerian soldier surprised his family after returning home from
fighting Boko Haram following Nigerian Army rotation of Troops Serving
in North Eastern part of the country. In line with the Chief of Army
Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General TY Buratai’s determination of rotating
overstayed troops operating in the northeast as part of Operation LAFIYA
DOLE, soldiers of 29 Battalion based in Port Harcourt, have been
rotated and returned to their main unit amidst cheers and jubilation
from their families and colleagues.
The troops have served in
various units under Operation LAFIYA DOLE where they contributed
immensely to the successes of routing out and defeat of the Boko Haram
terrorists in the North East.
In his address to the returnee
troops, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6 Division Nigerian Army,
Major General EO Udoh, welcomed the troops back to their unit after a
successful tour of duty in the North East and applauded them for their
selfless sacrifices to the nation.
He further enjoined them to
pray for their colleagues who are still in the theatre for God’s
protection and continued victory over the remnants of the enemies of our
great nation, Boko Haram terrorists.
The GOC further reassured
the troops on their welfare and that of their families. He also enjoined
the troops to remain professional in discharging their duties with the
love of their country at heart as they would soon be deployed for the
Division’s routine operations after their disembarkation leave.
The
rotation of overstayed soldiers in Operation LAFIYA DOLE is ongoing as
more troops are being inducted while those that stayed long are
de-inducted from the theatre of operations.
