As the war against Boko Haram rages on, the Defence
Headquarters (DHQ) has said it is recording great results in its current
battle to wipe out the insurgents, especially in Sambisa Forest and
Gwoza in Borno State.
According to statement by the DHQ, more terrorists have died in a coordinated air campaign by security operatives, while many others were scampering all over the forest.
The detail of casualty is yet to be ascertained.
The statement reads: “A concerted air campaign by the Nigerian Air Force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves.
“The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and
logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza
have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required
precision.
“The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases. Details of casualty will be determined in subsequent phases of the operation.
“Meanwhile, the strikes continue in other locations of the theatre heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission.”
It is widely suspected that the Sambisa forest, located not far from the Borno state capital is the home for Boko Haram insurgents. About two weeks ago, reports surfaced that Nigerian troops had finally invaded the insurgent’s notorious hideout in Sambisa Forest as a part of actions to suppress the terrorists.
