Nigerian Army Has Met December Deadline to End Boko Haram – Lai Mohammed

According to Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, the
Nigerian army has met the December deadline given by President
Mohammadu Buhari to end the Boko Haram insurgency.


”They (military) have so degraded the capability of Boko Haram that
the terrorists can no longer carry out any spectacular attacks.
Remember, gentlemen, that at the height of the war, Boko Haram
controlled 20 of the 27 local governments in Borno,” he told newsmen
in Lagos.


”I can hear you saying to yourself: But the terrorists are still carrying
out suicide bombings and killing people. My response to that is that
such is the nature of insurgency anywhere. Unlike a war between two
armies, an insurgency never ends with an armistice. Even in countries
like Colombia where insurgency was supposed to have ended decades
ago, attacks still happen,” he said.
