Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, on Thursday regretted that the nation’s troops fighting the Boko Haram sect cannot dominate the environment in rainy season like they were doing during dry season.

Notwithstanding the challenge, Dan-Ali said efforts were ongoing to stop the ambushes being experienced regularly.

The minister spoke with State House correspondents after a meeting the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, had with security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, saying the service chiefs were directed to move back to the Command Centre in order to be abreast of what is happening there.

He said it was also resolved at the meeting that the government should procure more surveillance devices that will be able to see potential attackers from far distance.
