GSM services has not been restored back in Borno State in
Borno State as military sources says: “Time is not ripe.” for such.
The Director of Defence Information,
Brig.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, said the Special Operation in Adamawa, Borno, and
Yobe states had achieved its target of tackling insurgency.
He said: “To the best of our
understanding, the operation has achieved its objective. A major testimony to
the success of the operation is the improved socio-economic life of the people
of the states covered by the emergency and the increased confidence in the
military and security agencies which we now see in terms of cooperation from
the populace.”
He, however, explained that the
security situation in Borno State has not given room for the restoration of GSM
services.
“When the security analysis of the
environment confirms that the GSM service should be restored, we will do so
immediately,” he said.
Olukolade said in spite of the
success achieved by the Special Forces, they are not relaxing.
He said: “The tempo of the Special
Operation is still maintained everywhere, it is not as if we have relaxed.
Anywhere there are insurgents, we will chase them out accordingly.”
