The House of Representatives have called on the Nigerian Army to change strategy from being defensive to being offensive in the war against Boko Haram and Islamic State’s West Africa Province in the North-East.
At the plenary on Tuesday, a member from Borno State, Haruna Mshellia, had moved a motion of urgent public importance to decry the recent attacks by terrorists.
