In a major move to bolster security in Nigeria\u2019s northeastern region, the Nigerian Armed Forces has announced plans to establish a new military sector command in Mubi, Adamawa State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, made the disclosure during a courtesy visit to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at the Government House in Yola. He was accompanied by a delegation of senior military officers from the Defence Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to General Musa, the decision to situate a new sector command in Mubi stems from the growing threat posed by non-state actors, particularly those infiltrating through the Hong local government area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are rehabilitating the military barracks in Mubi to ensure the new command becomes fully operational,\u201d the CDS stated. \u201cThe aim is to decisively confront the insurgents exploiting our porous borders and disrupting peace in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General Musa highlighted the need for a robust military presence in the area, noting that the Nigerian Air Force would also be reinforced to provide rapid response capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Adamawa\u2019s proximity to international borders, the state has remained relatively calm \u2014 a development Musa credited to the support of the state government. He praised Governor Fintiri for his cooperation and commitment to national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his remarks, Governor Fintiri welcomed the military\u2019s move and pledged the full support of the state government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen the military succeeds in the field, my people can sleep in peace,\u201d he said. \u201cThe decision to establish a sector command in Mubi is timely, especially in light of recent attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP in Madagali and Hong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor expressed concern about the security threats along the Hong axis and called for increased deployment of troops in that corridor. He also advocated for the regular rotation of military personnel across the state to enhance operational effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs part of our local initiatives, we\u2019re also empowering hunters to work alongside security agencies. It\u2019s a joint effort to defend our communities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Fintiri concluded by commending the Nigerian Armed Forces for their ongoing sacrifice in combating insecurity and reaffirmed his administration\u2019s readiness to provide necessary logistical and moral support for the success of the new command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
