- Borno state has been plagued by Boko Haram insurgency for over a decade, and while the government claims victory and decimation of the terrorists, some indigenes, including Reverend Amos, argue that the insurgents are still active and have not been defeated
- Amos pointed out that Boko Haram has taken refuge in the Mandara Mountains and suggested that the military should take a more proactive approach in attacking the insurgents rather than waiting for them to launch attacks
- The pastor also highlighted the challenges faced by villagers who have been displaced from their ancestral homes due to the insurgency and are struggling to rebuild their lives
Borno State – Though the Nigerian military has continued to claim victory over Boko Haram which has operated in the northeast for over a decade, some Borno indigenes have argued that the military only succeeded in pushing the insurgents a bit into the fringes, insisting that the insurgents are so much around.
Over the years, the federal government has claimed victory over the insurgents, saying they have been decimated.
