REBUKE: “Boko Haram Was NOT Defeated!” — Expert Blasts Buhari’s 2015 Claim, Sparks Fresh Fear in Nigeria

My fellow Nigerians, a powerful statement has just reignited fears over insecurity across the country.

Legal practitioner Jide Ologun has challenged the long-standing claim by former President Muhammadu Buhari that Boko Haram was “technically defeated” in 2015. According to him, the reality Nigerians face today tells a very different story.

The truth is exposed in the underlined part above — you need to see it with your own eyes. What was said in that moment is now shaking conversations nationwide.

Ologun pointed out that instead of disappearing, insurgent groups have evolved, split into factions, and even grown stronger. Groups like ISWAP continue to launch attacks, raising serious concerns about Nigeria’s security direction.

Can you imagine? After years of heavy military spending and operations, the threat still persists.

He warned that this shows deeper problems within Nigeria’s security system and called for a more honest assessment moving forward.

Nigerians are reacting — some feel misled, others demand urgent action from the government, especially as 2027 approaches.

At TimesNG, this raises one painful question: were Nigerians told the full truth?
