Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. -Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, has stated that the army will soon move against separatist agitators such as Sunday Igboho and Asari Dokubo.
Attahiru’s warning was delivered in Uyo at the first Commanding Officers’ Workshop 2021.
Dokubo had announced the establishment of Biafra Customary Government in which he incorporated some parts of the South east and South south as part of the territory.
Igboho had also recently unilaterally declared that the South west part of the country was no longer part of Nigeria.
The COAS promised that the Nigerian Army will deal decisively with every form of security threats confronting the nation, including those posed by the secessionist agitators like Igboho and Dokubo.
He went on to assure the nation that the Nigerian Army would soon surmount attempts by some individuals to compromise the territorial integrity of the country by the declaration of sovereignty on behalf of ethnic nationalities in the country.
