ABUJA: Nigeria's National Security Advisor Sambo Dasuki told AFP Monday that an ongoing multinational offensive against Boko Haram will destroy all known militant camps within the next six weeks.

"All known Boko Haram camps will be taken out. They won't be there. They will be dismantled," Dasuki said when asked what gains could be made against the insurgents before March 28, the new date for Nigeria's general elections.
