According to him, Maj. Gen Lagbaja, the General Commanding Officer of the 1st Division, cleared bandits from the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.<\/p>\n

He added that the new COAS would boost the fight against insecurity in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, is bandits\u2019 nightmare. He was the one who cleared bandits from Abuja-Kaduna Expressway when he was the GOC, 1st Division. As a thoroughbred infantry officer, Lagbaja physically led the war against the terrorists. Motorists now ply the road without dread. Now that he\u2019s the COAS, I hope he will replicate this stellar feat in other restive areas of the country\u201d, he wrote.<\/p>\n
