A fact finding team of senior officers from the Defence Headquarters are in Yobe State for an on-the-spots assessment of the deployment of troops of the Joint Task Force in the State. 

The team is to pay particular attention to the security circumstances around the incidence of the attack on the Government Secondary School, Mamudo near Potiskum during the weekend, a statement by the Director for Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Kolade said.

Led by the Chief of Research and Development in the Defence Headquarters, the team is visiting troops deployed in remote locations in Yobe State to verify the effectiveness of patrols and cordon and search operations directed at forestalling any further breach of security and tracking down perpetrators of the weekend attack.

The team is expected to brief the CDS in respect of any requirement for additional troops and logistics for the operation in Yobe State.

The military Joint Task Force (JTF) had confirmed the death of 42 students learning at the Government Secondary School, Mamudo. They were killed on Saturday by suspected members of the Boko Haram sect.
