The Nigerian Army has said that terrorist sect, Boko Haram will soon be extinct.

The statement was made by spokesperson, Colonel Sani Usman following the recapture of major Borno town, Gamboru Ngala from the sect.

Usman told Voice of America on Tuesday, September 1, 2015:

“It is a fact of life. Today, the Nigerian army was able to capture the strategic town of Gamboru Ngala in the northeastern part of the country. It is so important to both the Nigerian people and of course the insurgents themselves.”

“There’s a renewed cooperation, a collective responsibility not just among the Nigerian people and the Nigerian military but the neighbouring countries as well under the auspices of the new Multinational Joint Task Force.”

“This singular act of recapturing Gamboru Ngala has further demonstrated that Boko Haram is about to become extinct.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has given the military three months to defeat the sect.
