Members of Nigerian youth have commended the effort of Nigerian Army for the fight against insurgency in the country. The Coordinator of the group in Abuja, Comrade Muritala Mohammed made these known to the public while the group made a peaceful rally to the Ministry of Youth and Sport in Abuja.
He noted that the gallant Army in the last eight month has curbed the action of the terrorist, in affected state like Yobe, Adamawa, and Borno State. Comrade Mohammed explained further that the support given by the President Buhari has been enormous in fighting crime. He urged the administration of Nigerian Army not to relent in their support on social amenities and the need of the troops.
Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari had insisted that the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram has been technically defeated. Buhari who had earlier said the group had been technically defeated, maintained his stand in an interview with BBC on Friday, February 5. He said:
“Well, all I know is that out of the 14 local government areas in Borno state where they (Boko Haram) used to hold and hoist their flag, they are nowhere in charge of any of them again. But they can still regroup and go after attacking soft targets.
” When asked if it was fair to say a group which killed over 65 people in a single attack had been “technically defeated,” the Buhari said:
“Well, that’s your own description of it. My own description is that they can no longer mobilise enough forces to attack police and army barracks and destroy aircraft like they used to do. They can no longer do that.”
