The Federal Government has solicited the cooperation of Russia to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgents from Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin countries.

The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, made the appeal on Wednesday at the 8th Moscow Conference on International Security.A copy of the minister’s speech was made available to newsmen in Abuja.

“It is the intention of Nigeria to leverage on Russia’s support to attain technological emancipation of our Military Industrial Complex and training of Nigerians especially in medicine, science and technology.’’ “Since 2009, my country Nigeria has been combating terrorism engendered by an Islamic Sect called Boko Haram.

“Nonetheless, owing to the sustained counter insurgency operations by Nigeria and other countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission which include Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, the Boko Haram terror network has been overwhelmed and the leadership structure is presently decimated,’’ he said. He said adequate policing of the waterways of the gulf would combat large scale pollution, impair incidence of illegal dumping of toxic or radioactive wastes.

Buhari has refused to lead the troops as promised

Which Boko? The technically defeated

I thought Apc members said they hate president Trump and Russia because of collusion all because Atiku was at Trump tower hotel during campaign

Shebi 'they' are 'technically defeated? Mitchwwwww

I thought they said they have eliminated them? Why asking for help?

Its a fraud,they've exhausted their g'will with the western world,they've discovered that they're using BH to scam them of donations & after that,the donations developed wings mysteriously,so the Russians shld investigate before doing any favours,they shld intervene on their own.

Well, go ahead if it will end Boko Haram finally and totally

cchukudebelu Russia Ah !!

Late decision

I can imagine the rubbish this Nigeria my country is really into.

Shame on those who criticize Jonathan when he was looking for help. 4 years down the drain, Boko Haram still waxing stronger and our president is still enjoying touring all over the world.

Not America or Dubai Strategy by our Server President elect?

I hope they will seek Russia's help too in exposing the embezzlement of security funds....

When?

Why Russia?

We just dey mess up sha.... Russia ?

The one we defeated technically? The meins?

Russia?

Na now big thunder go fire una. It's gonna be divide and rule between USA and Russia. Like Yemen like Syria.

Why have you waited this long? Explore all available options always. That is why Assad survived against all odds.

Was Russia able to totally defeat the terrorist in Syria Make una give una self sense. Get alimajris off the street, tackle poverty, provide education and jobs then we'll make a head way.

Unity Nigerians

Buharist are you guys still alive?

Now you are ready to fight BH

Get rid of poverty 1st

Hmmmmmmmm🤔

I thought it was Brazil.. what happened... goats

better than never

Lie lia liar government

What is left to fight or eliminate after Lai Muhammed had technically defeat and reduced BH efficiency to zero..

You guys are just starting to get smart. They have something to gain helping us with this, unlike some other people stringing us along.

while you are at it you can get expatriates that can help reform the police.

Which Boko Haram, the one they have defeated technically?

Finally praise God

Another scam. Yahoo Government

Final admission of incapacitation. Took so long and many lives lost. What should have been done in 2000. 19 years late. We could all have been captured slaves by now.

Thought we didn't have BH again...

Oh! Now it's Russia?

Hmmmmmm... God please continue to keep my friends in Borno and expose every evil doers... But the FG said Boko Haram have been defeated Na?

How? I thought Boko Haram have been technically defeated.
