The minister for information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has dismissed any chance of a resurgence of the Boko Haram sect despite the group's recent attacks on soft targets.
He insisted that the terrorist group have been degraded and defeated.
He was speaking during a press conference at the Nigerian capital Abuja on Tuesday and went on to condemn the recent attacks by Boko Haram and commiserated with the families of those who were killed.
‘‘The terrorists remain massively degraded and largely defeated. The recent string of attacks is not an indication that Boko Haram is bouncing back.
‘’During the immediate period after an insurgency has been degraded, the fact that terrorists are dispersed into the community is often followed by an upsurge of terror attacks in the form of suicide bombing and sabotage of critical facilities."
