We Will Crush BokoHaram In 6 Weeks Time - Nigerian Army

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) expressed confidence
that a 6-week period was enough to crush Boko
Haram.
It should be noted that the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) February 7 announced
the postponement of elections by 6 weeks over
insurgency.
Punch reports that speaking February 15, Sunday
in Lagos, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola
Amosu, said that terrorism in the North-East of
Nigeria was coming to an end.
"The operation in the North-East is a complex one.
Fighting insurgency and terrorism is not an easy
task. "Based on the outline, particularly with the Air
Force, we set first to decimate the terrorists by
gaining air and ground intelligence so as to deny
the enemy freedom of action and movement,
disrupt their communication and supply lines and
deny them the possibility of regeneration.
"We have done this sufficiently. Their supply lines
are heavily depleted; command and control already
disrupted and so what we need now is an exercise
to complete the project.
"It is so easy for people to say we couldn't do it in
many years and now we claim we can in six
weeks. Well naturally, most operations will come to
an end. It will get to a point where you can
categorically say that within a time space, you can
do this. And that is where we are now. We are
satisfied that the period allocated should be
enough to carry out this project."
The elections shift generated numerous angry
reactions. Some alleged that the move was linked
not with the security situation, but with the
Presidency's plot to rig the elections. The major
opposition party called the INEC decision highly
provocative.
Meanwhile it was reported earlier today that the
Nigerian military reclaimed several towns of Borno
State, mostly affected by Boko Haram insurgency
