The Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has
restated the President Muhammdu
Buhari-led Federal Government’s
resolve to technically meet the
December 31 deadline of defeating
Boko Haram insurgents in the north
eastern part of the country.

The Minister made the remark at the
heels of renewed Boko Haram
attacks in Maiduguri metropolis and
Madagali village in Adamawa State
on monday, which left scores dead
and several others injured.

premises of the National Theatre in
Lagos shortly after inspecting the
facilities at the complex as part of
the tour of the parastatals under his
ministry.

insurgent attacks on Jiddari Polo,
and Adawari Village, near Maiduguri

“We have been vindicated because
Bokom Haram have been decapitated
compared to the past records.”

has technically defeated Boko Haram
sect, maintaining that the pockets of
attacks being witnessed now was
nothing compared to the near war
situation the sect subjected the
country to same time last year.
