UNTIMELY CELEBRATION OF BOKO HARAM DEFEAT.


Coming so close to the tail end of the deadline set for the decimation of Boko Haram, the recent onslaught by the blood-thirsty group that claimed estimated 90 lives in Borno and Adamawa states must indeed be very troubling. After what appeared to be a period of relative lull, the fragile peace in Nigeria’s troubled North-East region was brutally shattered as the citizens were basking in the euphoria of the recent festive season.

This, more than anything else, is a clear indication that the prolific terror organisation is still very active and has the capacity to inflict blows with deadly consequences, despite the best containment efforts of the Nigerian military. It is also a grave disservice to the gallantry of the soldiers who have put in a lot in recent times to ensure that the group does not enjoy the free rein of sadistic attacks associated with it in the recent past.
