President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that his administration has weakened the operations of Boko Haram in Nigeria.
Buhari made this known on Monday while he was meeting with some residents of the statehouse in Abuja as he urge Nigerians to work with security operatives to curb the widespread banditry in the country.
The president added that “road barricades had overrun the capital city and people had to pray in fear because of the anxiety of terrorist attacks. No place in FCT was beyond the terrorist. Not the United Nations building, nor the Police Headquarters”.
He further boasted that book haram’s attack has “crippled” because “they no longer have the ability to seize, and occupy any Nigerian territory without being repelled by” Nigeria’s armed force which he claimed are “gallant troops”.
“We can’t say that the terrorists are one hundred percent destroyed, but we have destroyed their ability to seize our territory. This improvement in terms of significantly weakening the enemy is necessary for finally defeating them.
“The rate at which the terrorists are giving up their weapons and surrendering to our troops is a significant and welcome development,” He added.
