Prepare To Deploy To Sambisa, Buratai Tells New Army Recruits

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has charged new recruits to be ready to defend the country against external aggression and other security threats.
He gave the charge during the final screening for 80 regular recruits held at the notorious Falgore forest in Tudun Wada Local Government Area of Kano State, yesterday.
He also charged the recruits to be prepared for a move to Sambisa Forest, a stronghold of the Boko Haram terrorist sect in Borno State.
“You must make up your mind that you are ready to serve your country as a soldier and you should be ready,” he said.
“All of you will go to Sambisa at the end of your depot training. If you are not ready to move to Sambisa and other parts of the country, and of course, our border areas to defend our country from any act of aggression, then you have not started.”
Burutai said that henceforth, the recruitment and selection would be conducted in Falgore Forest, pointing out that all recruits would be subjected to a similar process.
