NIGERIAN-ARMY1

The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sanni Usman, on Monday in Lagos has claimed that there are no longer Boko Haram camps in the North-Eastern part of the country.

Usman revealed this 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 reiterated that the Nigerian Army is fully committed to make insurgency in Nigeria a thing of the past and also assured Nigerians that the military is winning the war against terrorism.

“The situation in the North-East has tremendously improved. The military operations or the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North-East is hinged on three things.

“First, defeating the Boko Haram terrorists which have been accomplished and making room to facilitate humanitarian assistance which is also ongoing.

“Then restoration of law and order for good governance to take place.

He added that, “We no longer have camps of Boko Haram terrorists and we no longer have them conveyed in the territories.

“Those that were hitherto close are now open to the extent that we have trans-border trade.

“Take for instance; just recently, the important road that links Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon was just re-opened.

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