The Nigerian Chief of army staff Lieutenant General Tukur Burati said on Wednesday that at least 60 percent of the extremist group Boko Haram are not Nigerians. This comments was made in Maiduguri the capital of Borno State.
''our military is up to the task and we will continue to do our best to ensure that our country is secured." Meanwhile, over 1,000 Chadians who are believed to have been fighting for Boko Haram have returned home. He also said that there was no doubt that the terrorists had been defeated but Nigerian troops would continue with their operations until the insurgents finally surrender.
Boko Haram, which pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2015, has been active in Nigeria since 2009, and in 2015 upped its activities across Nigeria’s borders in Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
