…. Air
Commodore Alonge is New Spokesperson of Operation Lafiya Dole
As the
military appoints a new spokesperson for the Operation Lafiya Dole, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has debunked a
recent claim by Senator Baba Kaka Bashir Garbai that Boko Haram controls
substantial parts of the state.
The governor
described the comments of the senator as mere emotional outburst.
Governor
Shettima who stated this while speaking with journalists shortly after arriving
Maiduguri from an official visit to Saudi Arabia, said “the claim by the
senator representing Borno Central in the senate, Senator Baba Kaka Garbai that
the military has not degraded Boko Haram, was emotional outburst.
"It is
either the senator was emotional or misquoted. The military has recorded
tremendous successes in the fight against Boko Haram in the last six months.
You know Ngala, Dikwa and some areas were recently liberated and as the Chief
Security Officer of the state, I can confidently say Boko Haram has been
decimated, demoralised and degraded. Borno is better off than it was six months
ago," shettima said.
Kashim urged
the people of the state to continue to support military and security agencies with
useful information to enhance their counter-insurgency operations.
Meanwhile,
Air Commodore Dele Alonge has been appointed the Media Coordinator of Theatre Command
of Operation Lafiya Dole.
A statement
signed by the Deputy Director, 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, Colonel
Mustapha Abubakar Anka stated that, he is an alumni of National Defence University
Islamabad-Pakistan and also seasoned Public Relations Officer.
Air
Commodore Alonge who is a member of many professional bodies was the Director
Public Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force before his new
appointment.
