Boko Haram Causes Defeats Says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed how the Boko Haram terrorist group caused its own downfall mention three ways this was done by the members.


Speaking at a panel of heads of state at the 3rd Dakar International Forum on Peace and Security in Africa held in Senegal, Buhari said the sect members first began to fall when they gave their activities a religious connotation.


Worse was the fact that the members of the group started killing children and slaughtering people in worship centers.

Buhari described the actions of the sect as a major contradiction to Islam which, according to him, does not allow the killing of innocent persons just like every other religions.

"About a month ago, I spoke with the President of Chad and I was pleased that a number of Chadians and Nigerians that were Boko Haram members are surrendering to him en-masse. The good news I have is that the end of the raining season has come in the North eastern region of Nigeria.

"Members of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) are in their respective positions and at an agreed time they will move simultaneously and spontaneously for us to see the end of Boko Haram.

"We are now operating in the Sambisa Forest and as far as Boko Haram is concerned in the Lake Chad Basin area, I think they are done for,’’ the President declared," the president said.
