We have heard countless promises
about how the Nigerian Military will
conquer Boko Haram.

And here comes yet another
promise: Major-General Yushau
Abubakar, Theatre Commander,
Operation Lafiya Dole, says Boko
Haram fighters will be cleared out of
Sambisa Forest before the December
deadline given by President Buhari .

Abubakar told Vanguard :

“We have achieved a lot and we are
still doing much, but you know that
the job is still there until we finish
it. We are very close to Sambisa, we
must enter and capture the forest
before the Presidential deadline…
Our major concern is that we must
fight Boko Haram to a standstill
and ensure that we eliminate them…

I am happy that we are progressing
very well, we have not reached the
promised land but we are making
progress. We are making efforts to
clear all Boko Haram terrorists
camps. We are screening and de-
radicalising them for eventual re-
integration back to society.”

We love his enthusiasm. Let’s see
how it goes.
