Nigeria - President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in a statement by Reuben Abati on Thursday pledged to liberate regions plagued by the Boko Haram insurgency before handing over to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on May 29.
According to him, the ongoing military operations in the North-East is very successful so far -"we can now say two states are completely free from terrorist control, while in the third state, it is only in one Local Government Area that they are still present. That is in the Sambisa Forest,” he said.
He also noted the military had already moved into the forest to seize the remaining camps of the terrorists, adding that the recent rescue of about 300 abducted girls and women was further evidence of the success being achieved in the ongoing operation.
President Jonathan spoke when he received a delegation of Heads of Customs from the West and Central African Region of the World Customs Organisation led by the Secretary-General of the organisation, Mr. Kunio Mikuriya in Abuja.
