The Defence Headquarters has named Major General Hassan Umoru to lead the Operation Lafiya Dole in the North East in a bid to reposition it for more efficiency, effectiveness and combat readiness in the discharge of its assigned tasks of crushing the terrorists.
Umoru takes over from Major General Yusha’u Mahmood Abubakar who was appointed four months ago.
No reason was given for the change.
Also appointed is the Deputy Theatre Commander Major General Lucky Irabor.
According to Mr. Abubakar, a Brigadier General, “The changes are part of the reorganisation by the Defence Headquarters in line with the force restructuring of its operations to attain the overall objectives of the Chief of Defence Staff.
“The aim of this new development is to restrategise and inject new tactics to the existing operational procedures with the aim of finally knocking out the terrorists who now devise means of hitting soft targets through suicide bombings and isolated attacks on remote villages.
“Operation Lafiya Dole will continue to be responsive until all elements of terrorists are finally crushed.”
