Nigeria's security adviser, Sambo Dasuki has turned down the United Nations and African Union-backed forces to fight Boko Haram, saying Nigeria and its partners could handle the threat.
“It’s something that we can do. It’s absolutely something we can do,” he said in a BBC interview. “I think as it is we are in good shape to address the issue with those partners, Niger, Chad and Cameroon.”
