Our Military Will Take Down B’Haram – Pres. Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Niamey, the capital of Niger Republic, said the Nigerian Army was formidable enough to crush the Boko Haram terrorist group.


Buhari, who made this declaration after holding talks with Nigerien President Issoufou Mahamadou, asserted that the Nigerian Army, which had earned a good reputation globally, remained a virile fighting force.


“I am four days in office today and we have already started the process of ending the insurgency,” he told journalists after meeting with his host.


The president hinted that he had, at the over five hours’ meeting with heads of Nigeria’s Armed Forces and security agencies on Tuesday,
taken time with the service chiefs to review ongoing operations against Boko Haram for better results.


Buhari added, however, that because of the peculiarities of terrorism, the movement of terrorists across borders and the unconventional nature of the war against terror, Nigeria would continue to seek the support of neighbouring countries in its bid to overcome the militants.
