Defence Minister insists no Nigerian territory under Boko Haram’s grip

By
The newly appointed Nigerian Minister of Defence, Monsur Dan-Ali, has assumed office; promising that his leadership will be anchored on honesty and integrity.

A long-awaited 8,700-troop-strong regional task force is set to begin joint operations soon against the Islamist fighters when the region’s rainy season ends, a top United Nations official said late last month.
