About 6,000 Terrorists Still "Ready To Fight To Finish"
« on: August 08, 2013, 09:30:41 PM »
Senator Babafemi Ojudu has revealed that, despite suffering heavy casualties and dislodgement from its North-East strongholds, the Boko Haram sect still boasts "about 6,000 fighters ready to fight to the finish".

Ojudu, a delegation member of the Senate Committee on Defence, Army and Intelligence which recently toured the North-East, made the disclosure yesterday in Lagos, while delivering a lecture commemorating the 70th birthday of Ropo Sekoni, a retired Professor of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies.

He cited military authorities disclosing that documents recovered from vacated insurgents' camps revealed the sect still have about 6,000 fighters ready to continue with the war to Islamise Nigeria.

"Some of the members are hiding at the Sambisa forest far away from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital," Ojudu said.
