We Are More Determined To Fight Boko Haram Than Ever - Nigerian Military
The Defence Headquarters yesterday released a statement
assuring Nigerians that they are going to do everything to defend Nigeria
against Boko Haram. In the last few weeks, Boko Haram has been terrorizing Borno
State with them now in control of Gwosa and also fighting to take over Bama
which has left thousands of residents of the communities homeless. More disturbing is their threat
to take over Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State which has made international
communities tell the Nigerian Government to sit up tight in fighting the
insurgents.
“While welcoming all the concerns shown by Nigerians and a
section of the international community following the increased menace and
activities of terrorists, it is necessary to reassure all that the Nigerian
Armed Forces is more than ever determined and committed to the defence of the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria, regardless of any odd,” the
statement said.
