Gen. Kenneth Minimah at the opening of the Chief of Army Staff second quarterly conference in Abuja said that the army was fashioning out more effective ways of nullifying suicide bombers.
The event was his last official outing as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
The former COAS observed that the insurgents had resorted to suicide bombing because their ability to face troops in any form of combat had been seriously degraded.
He deplored the insurgents’ choice of innocent and venerable targets in worship places, markets and schools for bomb attacks, describing the action as cowardly.
Gen. Minimah said the conference offered the opportunity to review counter insurgency operations and help the army prepare better for events lined up for the rest of the year.
The army chief praised Nigerians for their patriotism and nationalism in supporting the Army in the counter insurgency campaign.
He hailed the troops, who he said continued to make sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
