Boko Haram Documents Say 6,000 Terrorists Still "Ready To Fight To Finish"

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.
"We were told by the military that the sect members are moving into Ogere in Ogun State, Lagos and Port Harcourt. The military said they are trying to flush them out, but we don’t know how much they have succeeded," the politician further said.
The "Boko Haram issue," according to him, "is the biggest problem before us, but we are not tackling it with urgency. We are busy talking about 2015."
