Nigerian leader to UN: No need for international force to fight Boko Haram

Nigeria's leader has told the United Nations not to focus on deploying an international force to fight Boko Haram but instead help victims of its terror.

Outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan spoke at a meeting Thursday with the U.N. special representative for West Africa.
