In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Buhari said these attacks on soft targets by the terrorists are obvious signs of frustration saying his administration has significantly weakened Boko Haram’s military capability to invade and hold Nigerian territory unchallenged.
He noted that occasional and episodic attacks on poor civilians by the terrorists are mere propaganda efforts to portray them as strong in order to fool the public into believing that they haven’t been militarily weakened by gallant troops.
President Buhari said since the coming of his administration, Boko Haram’s ability to invade and occupy Nigerian territories, let alone be able to hoist their flags had been frustrated.
The President said in the coming weeks Nigerians would witness an aggressive campaign to rout Boko Haram once and for all.
The Nigerian leader added that security will continue to be well funded despite the competing needs of social services and urged Nigerians to continue to support the troops in their gallant efforts to protect the citizens and secure the country.
