‘We’ll defeat Boko Haram in a month,’ President says

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Nigeria’s troops will defeat Boko Haram within a month.

Jonathan also said that the terrorist sect is “getting weaker and weaker by the day.”

"I'm very hopeful that it will not take us more than a month to recover the old territories that hitherto have been in their [Boko Haram's] hands,” the President said in an interview with BBC.

Jonathan also stated that security agents would continue to search for the abducted Chibok girls.

The missing girls were kidnapped on April 14, 2014, and most of them remain in captivity.
