President of the Republic of Benin, Boni Yayi, has pledged to send 800
soldiers to Nigeria that will join the Nigerian military in their fight
to stamp out Boko Haram members in the region. Yayi said this during his
state visit to President Buhari at the state house Abuja yesterday
December 8th.
“President Buhari took over the mantle of government at a time terrorism occasioned by the activities of Boko Haram is high.
To fight terrorism, Benin is ready to send about 800
men to join the men that are already prepared to fight terrorism. The
team is battle ready for deployment. The will power is there and Benin
is committed to deploying the men. Benin will always remain on the side
of Nigeria in its trying times. The sub-region is also going through
serious problems of development. Fighting Boko Haram is becoming
difficult because OPEC countries are going through oil crisis. We will
always stand beside Buhari in his fight against corruption.”he said
