The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, on
Wednesday in Maiduguri, Borno State capital,
launched the circulation of large posters carrying
photographs of wanted Boko Haram terrorists
including the supposed leader of the insurgents,
Abubakar Shekau.
The large posters, with inscription written in
various languages of Nigeria, also had phone
numbers which the public could easily call or
text to indicate which of the characters in the
numbered photographs they know or have
information of.
The photo posters was launched as part of the
counter terrorism material packaged by the
Directorate of Army Public Relations.
The army chief launched the posters shortly
after delivering a paper titled ‘Contemporary
Warfare, War Reporting and Dilemma of Military
Leadership’ at the three day 2015 DAPR Study
Period that ended today.
The army chief said President Muhammadu
Buhari’s deadline to end Boko Haram was not
directed at the military alone, but to all
Nigerians.
The Acting Director Army Public Relations, Sani
Usman, had said that most of the faces on the
poster are those of kingpins of Boko Haram still
at large.
He said “members of the public that have any
credible information on any of the wanted
terrorists should call any of the phone numbers
printed on the posters. Mr. Usman said the
information given would be treated discreetly and
professionally.
