Buratai: Insurgency not overwhelming Nigerian troops
Former Chief of Army Staff Lt-Gen Turku Buratai (rtd) states insurgency in Northeast is not overwhelming Nigerian troops. Speaking on Channels Television's 'Politics Today', Buratai notes troops face challenges with manpower and equipment dispersion across vast Northeast territory. He highlights need for more drone platforms and enablers to combat insurgency and banditry effectively. Buratai's assessment comes amid ongoing military operations against groups like ISWAP.
