Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a committee to advise him on the best way to tackle corruption and reform the legal system, his spokesman said on Monday.

The Chadian army has launched a "major operation" to flush out jihadists from the Nigeria-based Boko Haram group from islands in Lake Chad, a security source said on Monday.

Nigeria and its neighbours agreed today to set up a joint military force to counter Boko Haram, a sign of President Muhammadu Buhari's intent to crush the Islamist militant group early in his tenure.
