ebuka AGAINST claims by the Amnesty International (AI) that Boko Haram has killed no fewer than 1,600 people since June in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, President Muhammadu Buhari has again restated his confidence that the Nigerian Armed Forces would checkmate the sect’s ability to attack, seize, ravage and hold any Nigerian territory by end of December.

President Buhari who said this at an audience with the Commander of United States Africa Command, Gen Da­ vid Rodriguez noted that with greater support from his administration in terms of improved training, equipment, logistics and welfare, the Nigerian Armed Forces were now well positioned to meet the December deadline which they have been given to end the Boko Haram insurgency.
