The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Faruk Yahaya has given terrorists and bandits waging war against the country last notice to toe the path of their members who recently surrendered en mass to troops, or face the wrath of the military in their renewed vigour to end insurgency and other criminalities across the country.
The Army boss gave this ultimatum while flagging off the welfare flight for troops of Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai at the Nigerian Air Force Base, Maiduguri.
According to the Yahaya, the latest option of the military to airlift its personnel travelling out of Maiduguri has also become necessary considering the rampant kidnapping of travellers along the notorious Maiduguri-Damaturu highway where both civilians and security agents have fallen victims in recent times.
He noted that travelling out of the theatre sometimes has been problematic due to distances and other associated challenges.
The Army chief said it had been on his mind to find a way to ease movement for the gallant troops when they want to go on leave.
