“Firstly, the Defense Headquarters seized the opportunity to unequivocally state that this allegation is incorrect with realities on the ground.
“No inch of the training area has been ceded to the terrorist,” he said.
Buba said that troops had constantly eliminated the threat posed by terrorists crossing the vast area, adding that their clearance operations in the area had denied the terrorists freedom of action.
According to him, the ongoing operations, particularly in Niger targeted terrorists, saying it was erroneous for such threats to be described in any other form other than terrorism.
