Factional leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, was on Monday
described by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, as a mad
man.
Buratai made his comments in Yola, when asked by reporters to react to the video posted by Shekau on Sunday where he claimed to be alive and in good health.
He said: "He – Shekau – is a mad man.
"We don't have anything to tell him, he is on his way to his waterloo.''
The COAS said the Army had stabilised the security situation in the North-East.
He called on the Federal Government and government of the affected states to give priority attention to issues of peace building, reconstruction and humanitarian needs.
"There is need to ameliorate the challenges of the IDPs,'' he stressed.
While paying a courtesy call on Governor Jubrilla Bindow of Adamawa, Buratai said that the fight against insurgency had reached an advanced stage, NAN reports.
