He stated this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily when he was asked if terrorism has come to stay or it is a challenge that will till fade out.
“I can’t promise you that Boko Haram will or will not be eradicated but it is an ongoing challenge globally. Even in the more advanced countries or more weaponised nations, it is still a challenge,” he said.
Regardless of the attacks, Shehu stated that the Federal Government has ‘greatly minimised’ the terrorists’ activities.
According to him, the current administration has discovered manufacturers supplying weapons to the insurgents.
“The attacks are still a far cry from the enormity of those attacks that we have seen in the past. They have been greatly minimised and they have greatly pushed away from the national population.
“Government has identified local manufacturers and we don’t know the next steps that will follow. But the Federal Government is also internalising this campaign. The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu who has worked with the International Police (Interpol) is putting them to good effect.
“With the support we are getting from our neighbours, we are trying to see how we can stop (the supply and manufacturing of weapons),” he stated.
