NIGERIAN TROOPS TAKE OVER
BOKO HARAM BASE IN BORNO STATE
The Nigerian Tribune
reports that, Nigerian troops have cleared and taken over Balmo forest in Borno
state, capturing terrorists and armed gangs in a military operation at the
weekend.
That, this was disclosed
by the Director of Defense Information, Major General Chris Olukolade, in a
statement on Monday. Among those captured were two foreigners, who were
suspected to be mercenaries, including several weapons, power generating sets,
communication equipment, vehicles, motorcycles, foodstuff and kitchen utensils.
Prior to this clear-out,
Balmo forest, which stretches from Bauchi through Jigawa states, with links to the
fringes of Sambisa forest, had served as a base and hideout for launching
attacks by terrorists.
Wow! That’s a giant stride
by the Nigerian Military in the cause for putting an end to this insurgency.
THE QUESTION
When will the troops go to Sambisa Forest?
