Boko Haram is now history, says Army Chief, Buratai
If the words of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt General Tukur Buratai is anything to go by, then Nigerians can finally heave a sigh of relieve, as he claims the battle against the terrorist group Boko Haram has been won by the Nigerian military.
He said that the military has won the battle to flush out Boko Haram insurgents in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
The COAS made the declaration while speaking with newsmen at the weekend while laying the foundation stone for the new Brigade headquarters complex at the 2 Brigade, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
