Nigerian Army's Victory Over Boko Haram In Pictures

President Goodluck Jonathan has assured Nigerians that the country’s military would soon be victorious against Boko Haram.

The Nigerian Army has recorded a string of victories against the sect in recent times due to efforts being boosted by support from a multinational force which includes troops from Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

A concerted push by Nigeria’s military and neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger has regained considerable ground in the fight against Boko Haram. The Nigerian army said it has repelled Boko Haram from all but three local government districts in the north-east.

As they inch closer to total victory, the military men and officers fighting the war against the Boko Haram sect in the Northeast are in high spirit.
