The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has said going after terrorists’ informants and logistics supply has resulted in almost 200,000 insurgents surrendering to the military.

He described informants, funding and logistics supply as the lifeblood of insurgency, saying that if they were effectively tackled, terrorism would be defeated.

He made the remarks at a two-day Security and Justice Symposium organized by the National Counter-terrorism Centre.

Musa specifically described informants and logistics supplies to terrorists as oxygen to terrorism that must be cut off to end the menace.
