The Nigerian Army has said that the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency has been largely won based on the morale of the troops involved in Operation Lafiya Dole.

Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major-General Rogers Nicholas stated this in a press briefing Wednesday, on the successes recorded so far.

Operation Lafiya Dole is an operation launched by the Nigerian Army in fighting the terrorists that have wreaked havoc in the troubled North East region.

The Ondo State Police Command has described as untrue the report trending on the social media that some Fulani herdsmen attacked and killed some passengers travelling along Lagos/Ore road.

The social media was flooded with the report on Wednesday, causing unnecessary panic in the state.

Spokesman of the command, Femi Joseph, urged members of the public to disregard the story.

The Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has called for the creation of state police amid increasing security challenges in the country. He made the call on Thursday at a National Assembly security summit, as he believes this would help tighten security across the nation.
