Fight against Boko Haram gaining deserved regional solidarity – FG

Coordinator of National Information Centre Mr. Mike Omeri announced this during the routine briefing on the security situation in the country.
He said: “There has been increased regional cooperation between the countries of the Lake Chad Basin resulting in the recapture of territories by the Nigerian military and the multi-national forces which are, simultaneously, shielding off new attacks.  The fight against Boko Haram is, therefore, gaining the regional solidarity it deserves.”
According to him, because of the heavy bombardment of various Boko Haram hideouts, there have been massive dispersal of the militants to various locations, including the numerous IDP camps from where many of them have been smoked out and arrested.
