May Allah (God) grant Aljannatul Firdaus to the souls of the deceased and restore peace in our fatherland. “As I speak, the search and rescue mission is ongoing as many people are still missing,” the speaker said. He, however, commended the efforts of the military, other security agencies and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force/hunters for their sacrifices in the fight against Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Borno and the North East . He added that the ongoing “Operation Desert Sanity” by troops of the Joint Task Force North East ‘Operation HADIN KAI’ should be sustained to eliminate remnants of terrorists in the Sambisa Forests, the Manadara Mountains, the shores of the Lake Chad Basin and other enclaves, for peace to reign.
