Gen Mutkut in an address at a sensitization with traditional, community and religious leaders at Monguno, a town in northern part of Borno and headquarters of the Sector 3 MNJTF and Operation Hadin Kai, called for community involvement in the fight to end Boko Haram in the area.
“Gen Mutkut urged members of the community to maintain their cooperation with the Nigerian Army and other Security Agencies in the fight against insurgency in the State,” a statement by the sector’s spokesman, Major Ojo Adenegan, weekend said.
