According to Ndume, the success was recorded because of the improved coordination between the security agencies and the Senate with oversight responsibilities on the Army.
“I called the Brigade Commander during the attack and he was in full spirits. He told me even at the scene of the incident that he was on top of the situation and unlike in the past, the soldiers were fully determined and chased away the terrorists without fear of giving up,” Ndume said.
According to him, the community boosted the morale of the soldiers as they sang songs of praises and rejoiced with the troops for stopping the terrorists from attacking the towns.
