The Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mansur Dan-Ali, said the federal government had not ruled out the infiltration of Boko Haram in the North West, especially Zamfara, under the guise of bandits.
Danali spoke while commending the formation of village security committees set up to curb banditry in the state.
The minister, who was on an on-the-spot assessment of the activities of Operation Sharan Daji in Zamfara, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the security agencies, particularly the military.
“You know the Boko Haram sect is facing serious defeat and are in desperate need to relocate to where they can operate without hindrance; unfortunately, there is no safe place for the members of the sect anymore because our security operatives are not relenting,” he said.
