Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, on Thursday said the Boko Haram terrorists was targeting soft targets because the military had chased it out of Sambisa forest.

He added that the terrorists were desperate and out to embarrass the Buhari government.

Mohammed said this while addressing reporters at Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe.

On the issue of the missing students, the minister said it is still too early to determine their whereabouts.

“We are still monitoring the situation and what I want people to understand is that since two days ago some of the students who fled to neighbouring towns and communities had returned and more have been returning.

“When we arrived here we have been briefed by the governor and the GOC about the situation of the students.

“We know there are few students who are yet accounted for, but we don’t want to manufacture stories on this issue. But give us few days, we will be able to tell you exactly the real situation of things.

“But you can see response of the military, the response of the state government is quite commendable. Since four days now we have been following the efforts being made to arrest the situation.

“But we must understand that these are they dying days of the Boko Haram and what they intend to do is to embarrass the government because they have been degraded, they have been pushed out of Sambisa forest.

“They have been starved out of oxygen and the oxygen they feed on is publicity so that they can grab the world’s attention. But I can assure you that with the determination of our gallant military, the days of Boko Haram are numbered.”

Good gracious!

It seems Lai was dispatched to Yobe to take charge of propaganda.

nigeria has never had a terrible liar in 20 years like lai mohammed. he's too terrible

this is not an excuse...then you can say they will soon attack other big cities soon....attacking this school is neither an embarrassment to the buhari administration.....so the chibok girls own attack was what to GEJ? we should always say the truth in this country and weigh our conscience

You killed unarmed IPOB members and Chased the dreaded Boko Haram members to another state to continue the killing and abduction of innocent Nigerians

Snake
Hell rufia demolition
Monkey
Dapchi girls

Nigeria can never be boring always something to make you take life un serious

I have zero respect for this man. Zero! He's one of those foolish old men guilty of transmitting stupidity to the next generation. So, if Boko Haram have been chased from Sambisa, where did the terrorists, or insurgents, as the dumb NTA love to call them now, take the kids to.

And even if they've been degraded is that the point here? You don't hear American reps talk about the weakened strength of ISIS when Americans are kidnapped by the terrorist group because they know when to use propaganda and respect human life.

Kai Mohammed always doing more damage than good to the image of this administration ..Lai Mohammed must be on a codeine diet
