Lt Gen. T.Y Buratai, the Chief of Army staff has said that the crisis rocking Plateau, Benue, Taraba and Zamfara States are both internally and externally motivated.
He stated on Friday June 29th, 2018 that many forces are against Nigeria while addressing the press during the Army Day Celebration in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
According to him, “The target is the corporate existence of Nigeria as a country. The blame game along ethnic and religious fault lines is not the solution. Nigerians must unite to solve this serious challenge.
“The Nigerian Army is not sleeping. We are continuously exploiting all the linkages and leads towards addressing the security challenges we shall get to the roots of all the crisis militarily. Therefore, we must be tolerant of one another and give peace a chance.

“We assure all Nigerians that the Nigerian Army is for you and will continue to work for the common good of the country while professionally carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.” he added.
