''Boko Haram has been defeated''Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, insists

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, says despite all the recent attacks, Boko Haram still remains a defeated group. While speaking at a special service to commemorate the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, held at ST Bartholomew’s Military Church, Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri yesterday January 7th, the Army chief who was represented by David Ahmadu, the Chief of Training and Operations, Army Headquarters, said the military has won the war against insurgency. He said the military had recorded successes in the intensified offensive, routed and defeated the insurgents.
''I want to assure you without mincing words that the Boko Haram terrorists have been defeated, all we are fighting for now is the peace in the northeast. Character begins from home; if the children or the youth do not listen to their parents then there is problem. It is the responsibilities of parents to ensure that they disciplined their children. And the children too must have something to give back by being disciplined, educated, try to behave well wherever they go and without being deceived by anyone to do what is bad.” he said.
