Troops make inroads into Boko Haram’s dens

Nigerian troops are reported to be making inroads into the dens of the Boko Haram terrorists in the North East.

The cheering news was made available by the Nigerian Army on Sunday.

A statement by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman, said following the push by the troops, the Boko Haram terrorists have started fleeing their dens, including Sambisa Forest.

Usman said in the statement: “This is to report that Nigerian troops are gradually clearing all known camps, enclaves and dens of Boko Haram terrorists especially in the north eastern part of our country. It is as a result of the continued offensives against the terrorists by advancing troops that Boko Haram terrorists fled and abandoned their locations at Nafari and Gonin Kurmi. In a haste, they left various food items and personal effects as they fled to Sambisa forest.

“As oft mentioned the noose is tightening around the terrorists. Troops will continue the momentum until all terrorists and their camps are no more in any part of Nigerian territory.

“Citizens are once again called upon to continue co-operating with security agencies through provision of timely and credible information about any known terrorists, their hideouts and collaborators.”
