Too bad.
The combatant aspect of the war has been won by our gallant men, what is left is the Intelligence, which is also a unit in the military.
The cooperation of the indigenes is required to win this aspect of the war. Security services need to also deploy their skilled and experienced personnel to finally lay this crisis to rest.

No amount of killing of innocents lives will bring back commander in chief of boko haram alive from o ndon hospital if God doesn't say so.

The present national cry for restructuring of our polical system and the rise and rise of Biafra struggle will overshadow boko haram demonic activity this time around
