How Army chief, Faruk Yahaya can end Boko Haram in Nigeria – Al-Mustapha

Hamza Al-Mustapha, Chief Security Officer to the late Nigerian military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, has advised Major General Faruk Yahaya, the new Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), on how he can end the Boko Haram insurgency in the shortest possible time in Nigeria.

Al-Mustapha said Yahaya must work in synergy with other security agencies to ensure success.

According to him, the earlier Nigeria crushed Boko Haram, the better because the insurgency has led to huge destruction of lives and property in the country.

“Delaying the fight against Boko Haram will be a great disservice to Nigeria. The earlier we crush them, the better, “Al-Mustapha told NAN in Abuja on Sunday.

“Speed is very vital because we’re not fighting a conventional war.

“I know this is possible because I’ve done some homework.”

He added, “I spoke with him [Yahaya] and what I sent to him in a text message were prayers for him to succeed.

“There are different ways for him to succeed in overcoming the numerous security challenges bedevilling the country.

“My advice is that the army shouldn’t be alone because it’s not a military affair alone.

“Boko Haram, for example, has been on for more than twenty years from my account, that’s from conception to its maturity.

“If you want to contain an insurgency, every single detail of its activities should be on your palm. That’s when you can say I am on top of the situation.

“You’ve to get their sources of logistics, their electronic support and capabilities, what they do on a daily basis and how they get information, among others.”
