The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has delivered critical combat enablers and deployed additional 300 troops to boost manpower under the Operation “Whirl Stroke”.
A credible source who pleaded anonymity told that the deployment was in a significant effort to reinforce security and operational capacity in the North Central region.
The officer said the deployment, which includes mobility and protective assets, was aimed at enhancing troop mobility, rapid response, and overall effectiveness in addressing emerging threats.
The sources said that the COAS had during his recent visit to Benue, presented a consignment of equipment at the Headquarters of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Makurdi.
The items delivered, according to him, include over 100 motorcycles, Troop-Carrying Vehicles (TCVs), and personal protective equipment.
“These assets are designed to improve tactical agility, force protection, and combat readiness, particularly in difficult and rugged terrains where asymmetric threats are prevalent,” the source said.
