Protest: Dikko Warns Troops Against Indiscipline

The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Abbah Dikko, has charged troops in the North east to remain professional in their conduct and avoid actions that could mar the achievements recorded against insurgency in the region.

Dikko issued the warning while addressing troops at Dalwa frontline as part of his familiarisation tour in the theatre of operation.

In a statement signed by Col. Onyeama Nwachukwu, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations of the Theatre Command, in Maiduguri, Dikko assured troops of adequate welfare.

It would be recalled that on Sunday, some aggrieved soldiers staged a protest at Maiduguri International Airport, against the alleged over stay and re-deployment in the theatre of war against Boko Haram insurgents.

The troops barricaded some sections of the airport and fired shots in the air to protest their deployment to Marte, one of the communities liberated by the military from the insurgents’ control.

The Theatre Commander said troops should always communicate their challenges on time through the appropriate channels, to ensure prompt attention.

He stressed that the welfare of troops in the operation was paramount to the military high command, assuring them of their rotation when due.

He lauded them for their gallantry and sacrifices in the defence of national security.

On his part, Lt. Martin Enwerem, Commander of the Forward Operational Base, assured of the troops’ loyalty and resilience to combat terrorism and insurgency in the North east.
