The Retired Lieutenant-General and former Army Chief, Theophilus Danjuma has said that Boko Haram’s ability to gather intelligence has become 100 percent better than that of the Nigerian military.
He said the fight against Boko Haram is entering its most crucial stage and Nigerians “must brace up” to weather the new challenge. He was speaking in Sokoto on Tuesday at the opening of the new Secretariat for the Catholic Diocese built by Archbishop Matthew Kukah.
According to him, with Nigeria winning the territorial war, the insurgents have now devised a new strategy of disappearing into wider civilian population and setting up sleeping cells who wreak havoc on softer targets.
He said this strategy has not only reinforced the intelligence capability of the terrorists but has made them have superior surveillance techniques than Nigeria’s security agencies.
Having sleeping cells among the generality of the population has made them have intelligence capability that is 100 percent better than that of our security agencies.
Governors Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto and Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, in their remarks, asked Nigerians to promote religious harmony and understanding.
