President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed appreciation to the British Government for what he described as ‘the effective materials and logistical support’ to Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram.
In spite of isolated attacks against soft targets, he said that the British assistance helped in flushing Boko Haram out of their hide-out base and severely degraded their capacity to mount a serious attack on Nigerian assets.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari’s appreciation was contained in a formal letter he wrote to the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, on behalf of the people of Nigeria to express “my heartfelt condolences to the injured and families of the dead” in Wednesday’s terrorist attack in London.
He said the horrid incident “underscores the threat we all live under,” adding that, “terrorism has no borders and no season.”
