This is coming barely 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari said withdrawal of military from troubled areas would not be rushed.
The president reassured Nigerians on Friday, January 3, 2020, that withdrawal of the military from areas where peace had been restored will not be done in a manner that will expose communities to more risks of attacks.
He said the withdrawals will be gradual and carefully planned, not abrupt or arbitrary to jeopardise the success already recorded by the military.
