Speaking at
the headquarters of the 82 division of the Nigerian army in Enugu during a familiarisation
tour, Buratai identified thorough logistics and adequate manpower as
requirements for completely dislodging the insurgents
He said "We are already in Sambisa forest. But Sambisa is
as big as Enugu state which needs thorough planning for logistics and other
manpower needed. That accounts for the delay in flushing out the insurgents."
“Since my appointment, we have set out to build a professionally
responsible Army in the discharge of its constitutional role which is the
result of what we are seeing today. We have taken steps to ensure that
education within the Army is paramount to ensure that troops operate within the
rules of engagement.”
He also said
the military would investigate alleged killings of members of the Movement for
the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB and the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB).
“The alleged
incident of killing of MASSOB, IPOB members by the army in Aba will be
investigated."
