Nigeria’s Army chief Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai is not bothered by the resurgence of the Boko Haram insurgents as he believes they will forever remain technically defeated.

Buratai, in a chat with newsmen in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, expressed confidence that the Nigerian troops are capable of sustaining the onslaughts on the terrorists.

The Army chief made this known shortly after a closed-door meeting with the state governor Ibrahim Gaidam.

He said, “they will continue to remain technically defeated and they will never be as strong as they were previously.”

Buratai had earlier visited the 159 battalions in Geidam located north of Damaturu and later the military base located in Kanamma the Nigeria/Niger border.

He asked the soldiers at the theatre of war to work towards ending the fight by clearing the remnant of the Boko Haram terrorists.
