Boko Haram’s days are numbered – Buratai

The Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, said the days of Boko Haram terrorists are numbered, in spite of occasional attacks of Nigerian targets.
Mr. Buratai gave the assurance while addressing troops of the 8 Division at Monguno, headquarters of Monguno Local Government Area of Borno.
He, therefore, charged the troops to be determined in their efforts to stabilise their area of operation and finally overcome the Boko Haram challenge in the country.
“We must remain here to stabilise it.
“You all know that we have some few attacks here and there by the same elements – Boko Haram, but I assured you that their days are numbered.
“With your efforts, with your determination, we will finally overcome the Boko Haram challenge,’’ he said.
The chief of army staff noted that the creation of the 8 Division was a “major strategic decision’’ which had helped in addressing the challenge of Boko Haram terrorism in Borno north.
“I want to say that this division has lived up to its expectation of containing the Boko Haram challenge in this part of the country.
“What remains is for us to continue to stabilise and continue to operate, to prevent any element that may raise their heads in the future.
