The Nigerian armed forces under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration have gone head-to-head in intense combat with this belligerent jihadist sect Boko Haram. The kidnapping of over 200 high school girls from their Chibok hostel in 2014 drew international attention to the threat that Boko Haram could be. This is thanks to the incredible collaboration, improved welfare, newly acquired weapons and equipment of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Adding to Boko Haram problems is that it has been split mostly due the killings of their top leaders and reclaim of weaponry under their jurisdiction, leaving the fighters powerless, helpless and in confusion. So far, it is our armed forces’ single-minded determination to defeat the terrorists that has ensured that the safety of Nigerians is intact.
