Boko Haram has not exactly disappeared – Governor says

Buratai also revealed that Sambisa forest, the supposed stronghold of Boko Haram, is the size of Enugu State.

 

Oshiomhole said “Yes, Boko Haram has not exactly disappeared, but there is no doubt that they themselves will in their own way appreciate that things have changed, that the Nigerian side is better. They no longer have that audacity, that impunity to move freely without fear.”

The Edo Governor also said “We in Edo State appreciate the leadership that you are providing for the Nigerian Armed Forces and the Nigerian Army in particular. We watched you on television and we saw a very senior officer meeting his officers and men right in the battle field, sharing the dust, the sun and all the deprivations, the sort of thing you sometimes see in foreign countries. I think that you are leading by example.”

Meanwhile the COAS recently revealed that Sambisa forest, the supposed stronghold of Boko Haram, is as big as Enugu State.

If it was expected, then the question now, is: Was there anything done to avert it?
