The Nigeria Army says it has established a motorbike battalion to add impetus to its war on insurgency in the Northeast.

 The Army also released a fresh list of 100 suspected members of the terrorist sect, Boko Haram, wanted for various act of terrorism in the country, and opened one of the major roads leading to Maiduguri, the Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu road closed to traffic for over two years as a result of the surge of insurgency in the area.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Burutai said the decision for the introduction of the combat motorbike is to ensure that the roads are safe.

He said the Motorbike would ensure a force multiplier effect and give the military an edge in the ongoing counter-insurgency war in the Northeast.

Lt.Gen. Burutai said the new measure will improve on the successes of the military in the fight against insurgency.

The Chief of Army Staff, who called for 20 and 30 checkpoints on the reopened road in order to check against the threats of the terrorist sect, called on the public to give useful information to assist the military in its fight against Boko Haram.
