Army Chief - Boko Haram Are Cowards

Members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect are cowards because they carry out attacks on innocent and defenceless people, Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Azubuike Ihejirika said in Abuja yesterday. It was the first major statement on the sect by a top security officer since the bomb attack on the Nigeria Police Headquarters in Abuja two weeks ago, for which the sect members claimed responsibility.
