Tackling Boko Haram was one of the main Muhammadu Buhari’s election promises. However, since he became president, the death toll of Boko Haram victims is still rising day after day, while the number of killed militants has fallen significantly comparing to GEJ’s last month of rule.

Muhammadu Buhari is coping worse with Boko Haram since gaining presidency, than GEJ in his last month?

The death toll of Boko Haram victims is still rising day after day – see how many people have been killed since Buhari was sworn-in. At the same time the number of miltants killed has declined sharply for the same period.

Data shows that in the month since Buhari took over from GEJ as president, the number of civilian victims of Boko Haram has fallen only slightly, but the number of militants killed has declined sharply.

The latest attack by Boko Haram militants on four villages in Borno state has took the total death toll of terrorists’ victims since Buhari became president to more than 625.

Recent reports from Borno state tell that in the latest attack, carried out by Boko Haram militants on Tuesday, at least 43 people from four villages were killed. “In Kilwa alone, they killed seven people, including the village head and left one seriously injured with a fracture on his leg,” told the press Sheriff Kulo, from Kilwa, adding that Boko Haram militants killed these people before stealing their food and cattle and then setting houses on fire.
