Cameroon is among the 5 West African countries that have been badly affected by the attacks of the deadly Boko Haram sect.

Muhammadu Buhari during his inauguration on May 29, 2015, promised to wipe out the insurgents.

He gave his army chiefs three-months deadline to end the insurgency in Nigeria.

Buhari in December last year announced that Nigerian army has technically defeated the terrorists.

However, it seems that the war is still far from the end.
