“Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, Mobilizes Military Aid for Borno Flood Victims – Zagazola Makama”

In a compassionate and decisive move, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has ordered immediate military intervention to assist victims of the recent devastating flood in Borno State. The announcement was made by renowned security analyst and counterinsurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, through his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, amplifying the crucial role of the military in responding to this humanitarian crisis.

According to Makama, General Musa has instructed the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai to mobilize all necessary resources and provide swift relief to affected communities. This directive includes the deployment of personnel and logistics to help mitigate the devastating impact of the flood, offering both immediate assistance and long-term support to rebuild lives.

The involvement of the Nigerian military, particularly under Operation Hadin Kai, known for its extensive counter-insurgency operations in the northeast, demonstrates the CDS’s commitment to not only national security but also to the welfare of the citizens. As the people of Borno struggle with the dual challenges of insurgency and natural disasters, the military’s intervention is a beacon of hope.

Makama’s announcement has been met with widespread approval, with many praising General Musa’s proactive leadership in ensuring that no stone is left unturned in providing aid to vulnerable communities. This latest directive highlights the ongoing collaboration between the military and civilian agencies to address both security threats and humanitarian needs in the region.

With the flood affecting thousands of households, displacing many, and causing extensive property damage, the timely intervention of the Nigerian Armed Forces is expected to significantly ease the burden on local authorities and hasten recovery efforts.

As the people of Borno look forward to relief and restoration, this action by the Chief of Defence Staff underscores the military’s evolving role in national development and crisis management.
