JTF TAKES OVER ALL BOKO-HARAM CAMPS

As the military continued its quest to dislodge the Boko Haram terrorists from the north eastern part of the country, the Defense Headquarters Friday said that soldiers have taken over all the camps where the insurgents operated from in Northern and Central parts of Borno State. 


This was even as the military said yesterday that soldiers would soon carry out a military exercise code-named Operation Thunderstorm ‘on the Abuja-Jere-Kaduna expressway. 

Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade who spoke in an interview with newsmen, also said that troops on the special operations, stormed the notorious Sambisa forest area and rescued six children and three women kidnapped by the terrorists about three weeks ago. 

According to Brig-General Olukolade who was part of a seven- man Assessment Team led by Maj-General Lawrence Ngubane, that visited the operation areas in the last three days, the troops were currently combing the vast Sambisa forest which is about 16 square kilometers. 

Kudos to the military. Hopefully they can intensify efforts to rid the country of this group that is bent on wrecking havoc in Northern Nigeria.
