He highlighted the military's efforts to rescue the girls, including operations within terrorists' enclaves, which have yielded positive results.


General Shaibu reaffirmed the Theatre's commitment to rescuing those still in captivity, in line with the strategic guidance of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja. He also expressed gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff for resourcing the theatre and to all stakeholders for their unwavering support.

He added that Lydia and her children have received medical examination and proper care since their rescue.


The handover ceremony was attended by representatives from the Borno State Ministry of Women Affairs and Youth Development, Component Commanders, Formation Commanders, and Staff Officers from Headquarters Theatre Command and 7 Division Nigerian Army.
