A former House of Representatives member, Dr. Junaid Mohamed has turned spokesman of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents, saying that anyone who says they have been defeated is “telling lies.”
In an interview, Mohammed insisted: “Boko Haram is still alive and well” even if the terrorists are not holding any territory in the country.
“See, you have to look at the areas which he (President Muhammadu Buhari) promised to look at. He promised that he was going to see the back of Boko Haram. I admit that he has done something in terms of what has been happening in the north-east.
“I said and I repeat, Boko Haram is still alive and well. Even if they are not holding territory for a prolonged period in Nigeria, there is no denying the fact that they are still holding areas in the northern part of Nigeria, Ditto in Niger Republic and part of Northern Cameroon.
“Whoever says they have been defeated is telling lies and taking diabolical liberties with a lack of the thorough knowledge that one is supposed to have before commenting on such matters.” [myad]
