The Unity Advocacy Group, UAG, on Wednesday hailed the Armed Forces of Nigeria for piling pressure on insurgents and bandits, thereby forcing them to surrender to troops.
UAG in a press release on Wednesday said the frequent surrendering of the insurgents is a result of pressure by troops.
The press release by UAG’s Convener, Ifeanyi Aigbedion commended the Chief of Defence Staff, General Chris Musa for his approach towards fighting insurgency, saying the situation is getting better.
The group noted that the different services have continued to work together harmoniously under the able leadership of the CDS with positive results.
According to UAG “The pressure by our troops is yielding positive results, as terrorists continue to surrender everyday.
“UAG commends the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Chris Musa for giving worthwhile direction.
“We urge criminals, terrorists and bandits to rethink and give peace a chance in the interest of the country.
“Once more, we call on Nigerians to continue to support the Armed Forces of Nigeria as they continue to make sacrifices for peace and stability,” the group added.
