We can now beat our chest and say we’ve dealt with Boko Haram – Army

The Nigerian army says it has reached the stage where it can proudly say that Boko Haram has been defeated.

Sanni Usman, acting director, army public relations, said this in Lagos on Monday while addressing reporters at the inauguration of Strategic Communication Course for senior officers at the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, Bonny Camp, Lagos.

He said Boko Haram insurgents no longer had camps in the north-east, and that insurgents no longer clustered in a particular place in the region.

“We have come to the point that we can beat our chest and decisively say we have dealt with Boko Haram,” he said.
