Retired General Sani Kukasheka Usman has commended the military’s response to the attempted terrorist attack on the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) in Monguno, Borno State, saying security forces prevented a mass abduction and rescued the students.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Usman said troops acted proactively, confronting the attackers before they could carry out their plan.
“They proactively preempted the terrorists and not only rescued the people, they were able to deal decisively with them. But unfortunately many of them have escaped with gunshot wounds, and of course there were reported collateral damages created by the gunfire of the Boko Haram terrorists. But I can assure you this is something that is heartwarming and we crave for more of it,” he said.
Usman stated that many of the attackers fled with gunshot wounds during the operation and noted that there were reports of collateral damage resulting from the terrorists’ gunfire. He described the military’s response as encouraging and expressed hope that security agencies would continue to record similar proactive successes against insurgents.
