President Muhammadu Buhari has, meantime, declared that the days of Boko Haram are numbered just as the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Ban Ki-Moon, commended his determination to fight Boko Haram. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, on Tuesday in New York, commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination in the fight against Boko Haram.
Ki-Moon said in a statement that he had noted Buhari’s determination to root out the menace. He also commended the countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin for their steadfast efforts in the fight against Boko Haram.
The UN chief strongly condemned the attacks by Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin countries, including the deliberate targeting of Christian and Muslim worshippers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Borno and Yobe States.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and further renewed his calls to support the operationalisation of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) through the provision of the requisite political, logistical and financial resources.
He also called for necessary expertise, consistent with international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law.
