The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has said that insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria may continue for another 20 years.
Buratai made the remark on his verified Facebook handle.
His remark is coming five days after Boko Haram massacred over 110 rice farmers in Zabarmari, Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.
However, Buratai noted that Nigerians generally misunderstand what insurgency and terrorism mean.
According to the Army boss: “There is general misunderstanding of what insurgency and terrorism entail. There is likelihood of terrorism persisting in Nigeria for another 20 years.
“Citizens responsibility is equally important and imperative. All must cooperate to contain the lingering insecurity. Let there be collective action and responsibility.”
