Following the relocation order given to Service Chiefs by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, some service chiefs have arrived in Maiduguri, Borno state capital.

At an emergency meeting last Thursday, the acting president asked Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, and Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff, to relocate to Borno to restore normalcy to the area.

The two military chiefs arrived in Maiduguri on Tuesday morning.

The directive followed the ambush and killing of oil experts and soldiers who were on an exploratory survey of Lake Chad last Tuesday.

The army had claimed that it rescued all the staff of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) who were kidnapped after the attack, but it later admitted that it gave false information.

The Boko Haram insurgents intensified their attacks since the federal government swapped some terrorist commanders for released Chibok girls.
