Kukah while reviewing a new book authored by Lucky Irabor, the former Chief of Defence Staff said military operations alone cannot end Boko Haram or the activities of the terrorists in the region. The book titled, ‘Scars: Nigeria’s Journey and the Boko Haram Conundrum’, highlights some of the feats recorded by the Nigerian government in its efforts to combat violent extremism. It also highlights the impact of Boko Haram terrorists on the Nigerian people and the nation’s entire development while reeling out possible means to reconciliation processes, good governance, justice, and national healing as critical conditions for security. Speaking at the event which took place on Thursday, Kukah described Boko Haram as an ideology that has continued to ravage the nation due to its reliance on military operations. Further citing chapters 11, 12 and 13 of the book, Kukah commended General Irabor for his craftsmanship and reflections as showcased in his book.
