in on the abductors of school girls from Chibok, Borno State.
According to information available to Vanguard, massive
deployment of troops, intelligence sharing between Nigeria
and neighbours, as well as support from Britain, France and
the US are yielding positive results.
“We have made significant progress,” Coordinator, National
Information Centre, Mike Omeri told Vanguard.
According to him, the efforts of officers and men of
Nigeria’s defence forces as well as the police and the
Department of State Service, DSS, were paying off.
Omeri, who is also the Director-General of the National
Orientation Agency, NOA, added, “The very nature of the
sensitivity of what we are doing demands that we provide
information only on a need to know basis. That is why some of
the posers you have raised, I would not be able to yield”.
Omeri however hinted, “By God’s grace, we are looking at a
matter of days”.
“We are already winning the war against terror because when
you look at the activities of our defence forces, including the
police and the DSS, especially the number of attempted
bombings that have been thwarted, you will agree with me that
we are winning the war.
“The total attention and focus of the military on this war
gives the confidence that by the time this chapter in this war
is over, Nigerians would be pleasantly surprised and happy.
“Already, our troops are smoking the terrorists out of their
hiding places.
“For instance, one of their hideouts in Darazo, Bauchi State,
has been bombed repeatedly and they are now on the run.
“The support we are also receiving from our foreign partners
has upped the tempo and we are confident that soon, very
soon, the parents would have their children back and, by God’s
grace, in safe and sound health.
“We are closing-in on them. But there is a limit to what I can
volunteer,” Omeri said.
