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.
