President Goodluck Jonathan appears set to boost the strength of the military in the insurgence infested North-east after indications emerged that about 8,000 troops are being sent there.
.
The troops, according to security sources, will form the nucleus of an army division to be established in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
.
Sunday Vanguard was made to understand at the weekend that the need to establish the new army division in the stronghold of the Boko Haram Islamist group is to firm up the successes recorded by special forces of the Joint Task Force (JTF) which have reportedly dislodged the insurgents from the forests and mountains of the North-east.
.
The move came to light barely 48 hours after the United States (US) said security efforts were necessary to protect innocent Nigerians, prevent Boko Haram's acts of violence, capture and prosecute its leaders.
That's a good one from the President...I think we have to go all out to eradicate them once and for all. Good one GEJ!
