He disagreed with insinuations that amnesty is sort as government's last resort because of  unsuccessful security operations. Brigadier General Attahiru said quick response patrol groups have been deployed to patrol designated areas nationwide, establish military presence along the highways while assuring Nigerians of the Army's commitment to fighting terrorism in the country.
