President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said the military was
gaining the upper hand against Boko Haram, despite two bombings in the
country’s north that killed at least 27.
“The President assures all Nigerians, and the people of the
northeastern states in particular, that the days of mourning victims of
incessant terrorist attacks in the country will soon be over as the tide has
now definitely turned against Boko Haram,” his office said in an emailed
statement.
