A former captive of
the Boko Haram terrorists in the North-eastern part of Nigeria has revealed the
fear that President Muhammadu Buhari invokes on the insurgents as they are fast
waning in strength and depth.
Narrating his ordeal in the hands of terrorists, a Boko
Haram captive has said that the insurgents are deteriorated and in anguish
according to the Daily Trust.
He said the insurgents see only one safe route left for them which is to run from the army onslaught in the forest. In his words:
“I have been with them (insurgents) for a very long time. How I survived under them all this while only calls for thanksgiving. We knew when they were going out for operation and returned with stories of destructions they did. Though General Buratai has never gone beyond Konduga this way, the news of his frequency to Borno has left the insurgents worried.
“The most terrifying news to the Boko Haram insurgents was when they learnt that President Buhari gave soldiers December deadline to end the war. The insurgents knew that the soldiers will do everything possible to flush them out.
“Since Buhari became president, whenever there is news of planned attack on Sambisa, the Boko Haram insurgents around Markaz will always run towards Banki through Pirgi and stay away for some time. The insurgents knew that there are soldiers around Damaturu road or when running towards Konduga. Of recent, they have been kind with the captives in the forest may be because they are planning to use us as shield,” he said.

This affirms the claims by the Defence
Headquarters that the Nigerian Military is winning the war against the Boko
Haram insurgency with the possibility of wiping out the sect before the end of
December, 2015 which is the deadline set by President Muhammadu Buhari.
