“Today, God in his infinite wisdom has shown us this vital day and thus , we must commend the efforts of the Nigerian Army, under the leadership of the Chief of Army Staff,” Governor Zulum said.

In addition to efforts to still support the operations of the military, the governor made a donation of 100 motorcycles.

Beyond that, he announced plans to rebuild communities and infrastructure suffering from the terrorist attacks, while calling on those that are still at large to surrender.

Eighty-six persons have appeared during this phase of the discharge of the names of wanted Boko Haram members, bringing the entire number of these on the wanted list to 399.

The Army has, however, not specified what percentage arrests are made since the primary wanted list was published in 2016.
