Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has been honoured as the “Most Outstanding Chief of Army Staff” by a News magazine company.
According to the media Bruatai was singled out for his dogged, brave and fearless approach in containing banditry, terrorism, and insurgency in Nigeria.
At a ceremony held at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Abuja, on Wednesday, the platform, however, urged the COAS to sustain the momentum.
The Army Chief was represented at the event by Brig Gen TO Olowomeye D CMA who received the awards on behalf of the COAS and the Nigerian Army.
The event was attended by personalities from different walks of life including the Governor of Nasarawa State, ably represented by the Director Strategic Communication and Press Affairs, Alhaji Yakubu Lamai.
Others present include representatives of Honourable Minister of State for Agriculture and Ministry of State for Petroleum Resources, COPP, Brig-Gen PO Ilodibia among others.

A Notorious war criminal. This wicked mass murderer and notorious child-killer led the brutal and inhuman #ZariaGenocide. More than one thousand innocent children women and men were brutally murdered in Zaria in December, 2015., by @HQNigerianArmy.#ICC @IntlCrimCourt take note pic.twitter.com/qpUWzBE7XB

Beneficiaries can only be those in charged of financial expenses. Is there anyone other than the military high command?

I now believe by the APC saying that it’s those who are benefiting from the Boko Haram that are calling for the resignation of the service chiefs.

Whoever that agreed to publish this in way of mocking the families of the people killed because of insurgency should search their hearts and see if they are right. Blood lost, life lost, hope lost, trust lost. What remains? ……….Fill in the gap Mr. Writer.
