Buratai places commanding officers on red alert over violence across Nigeria

The chief of army staff, Liuetenant general Tukur Yusuf Buratai has read the riot act to general officers commanding, principal staff officers and field commanders of the Nigerian army.

Buratai tasked them to bring to an end to the arson, killings and looting going on across the country as a result of miscreants and unscrupulous elements hijacking the EndSARS protests.

He gave the order while addressing the army hierarchy which he summoned to Abuja on Monday.

General Buratai charged the GOCS and field commanders to act quickly and decisively with any act of arson or attempt to kill or maim any military or security personnel and law abiding citizens by unscrupulous elements.
