God has given Nigeria victory over Boko Haram, says the Commander of the anti-terrorism operation in the North East (Operation Lafiya Dole) Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor.
Speaking during an Inter-Denominational Church Services held at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Catholic Church celebration to mark the Nigerian Army Day at the Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri, Irabor noted that the day was set aside to thank God.
He said that July 6 was a day to celebrate the victory God gave to Nigeria, noting that it was on July 6, 1967 that the first shot in the Nigeria civil war was fired.
Irabor stated, “The Nigerian Army deemed it very necessary to set aside every 6th of July of every year to give glory to God for the victory that was brought to our land; through the Nigerian Army.”
“As part of the Nigerian Army Day celebration which comes up on every July, 6; this inter-denominational church service was organised. Last Friday, another service was also organised for the Muslim faithful.”
“The significance of this church service was to bring all the Christian faithful to acknowledge the supremacy of God. Our motto says; victory is from God. What better opportunity of time do we have than to come together in his presence to return all the glory to him; it only stands to reason that we must come together under a single umbrella to appreciate him.”
He further pointed out that the war against Boko Haram insurgence was two dimensional: spiritual and professionalism of troops.
