“We are not there yet but we are gradually getting there. We are making steady progress."
Those were the words of Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai when he visited troops of the 72 Special Force Battalion in Makurdi, Benue State on Tuesday.
He stressed that the task of subduing the Boko Haram Islamist terrorist group must be accomplished in good time.
President Muhammadu Buhari had given the military up till the end of December to defeat the terrorist group which has killed over ten thousand persons and displaced many more in its 6 years campaign to carve out a state governed by strict Islamic laws.
