All Boko Haram known camps will be 'taken out' in 6 weeks- NSA

Nigeria's National Security Adviser, Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, has stated that all known Boko Haram camps in Nigeria will be wiped out within 6 weeks so the country can have a safe election.

Dasuki mentioned this while responding to a question from AFP on the merits of the postponement of the 2015 general elections by INEC

"All known Boko Haram camps will be taken out. They won't be there. They will be dismantled" he said.

According to Dasuki, the recent multinational task force launched against Boko Haram will work together to terminate all known camps of Boko Haram within the next 6 weeks. He stated that the new dates for the elections, March 28th and April 11th will not be shifted.

Speaking at the London think-tank Chatham House in Jan. 2015, the NSA chief had earlier proposed a postponement of the general elections due to insecurity in the North East as well as irregularities in the distribution of permanent voters card.
