The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Olufemi Oluyede, has ordered soldiers to flush out the new terrorist group in the Kaiama and Baruten local government areas of Kwara State to guard against the spread of their activities to other regions of the country.
The army chief charged them to flush the bandits out of the two local government areas, adding that he wants the job done in the next one month.
The army chief, while charging the troops, said the country could not afford to allow bandits spreading out to another part of the country again.
Oluyede made the call while addressing the troops during his visit to Sobi barracks in Ilorin, the state capital.
His visit was also aimed at motivating the troops who will soon move to the crime scene as part of efforts to nip the spread of the activities of the new terror group, named Mahmouda, in the bud.
The COAS said having another form of Boko Haram in any part of the country would not be allowed, as necessary support would be given to them.
