FG BATTLES BOKO HARAM RESURGENCE IN N’EAST SASYS MINISTER

The Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has revealed that the resurgence of Boko Haram in the North-East, particularly in Borno State, is part of the insurgents’ renewed efforts to destabilise the Sahel states of Nigeria, Mali, Burkina-Faso, and Niger Republic.
He, however, said the Federal Government is dealing with the challenge, adding that the Nigerian Armed Forces had gained momentum in recent weeks, eliminating a good number of insurgents.
Speaking to journalists shortly after he toured military facilities, the minister highlighted the importance of both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches in addressing security challenges in the country.
