President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Niamey, Niger, said he is
confident that the Nigerian military will flush out Boko Haram.Speaking
with journalists after talks with President Issoufou Mahamadou of Niger,
President Buhari said the Nigerian Army remains a virile fighting
force.
“I am four days in office today and we have already started the process of ending the insurgency,” the president said.
He said heads of the Nigeria Armed Forces and security agencies, in a
five-hour meeting, informed him that operations against Boko Haram will
be reviewed for better results.
The Boko Haram terrorist group has carried out several attacks in the North-East recently.
The president said his visit to Niger was to seek more support from
the country in bringing a quick end to activities of Boko Haram.
President Buhari said he would hold similar meetings on security and
the war against terrorism with the Chadian authorities after leaving
Niamey on Thursday.
