Nigeria Has “Technically Won The War” Against Boko Haram – Buhari

President Buhari said this during an interview with BBC, to underscore the assertion made by the Information minister, Lai Muhammed, that the Nigerian military have already met the December 31 deadline to end the insurgency.Buhari said: "Boko Haram has reverted to using improvised explosive devices. Indoctrinating young guys… they have now been reduced to that. But articulated conventional attacks on centers of communication and populations.. they are no longer capable of doing that effectively. .But Boko Haram as an organised fighting force, I assure you, that we have dealt with them. So I think technically we have won the war because people are going back into their neighborhoods." He said the government's biggest problem now is to rebuild infrastructure and help all displaced people to return to their homes.
