The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres has commended the troops of Operation Hadin Kai for their roles in the mass surrender of insurgents.
He gave the commendation when he paid a visit to Borno State to assess the North East region which has been plagued with the activities of terror groups for over a decade.
The unprecedented act which came as a result of the tireless and determined effort of troops of Operation Hadin Kai attracted global attention and necessitated the visit of the UN Secretary-General who led a delegation from the world body to assess the humanitarian situation.
During the tour, the UN Chief was led to some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the state and also one of the holding facilities for the repentant insurgents and thereafter paid a courtesy visit to Borno State Government House in Maiduguri.
Mr Antonio Guterres who was speaking at the government house also lauded the effort of the Armed Forces of Nigeria for rescuing some kidnapped victims from the terror groups’ enclaves.
Present during the visit was the Borno State Governor, professor Babagana Zulum, the Theatre Commander Joint Task Force North East Operation Hadin Kai and Major General Christopher Musa who bid farewell to the UN Secretary-General at the end of the visit.
