Boko Haram terrorists are losing more ground inside their Sambisa Forest stronghold in Borno State, North-East Nigeria.
Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, announced in the wee hours of this morning: “Troops making steady progress in the fight against Boko Haram Terrorists. I am glad to inform you that our troops are making substantial progress within the fringes of Sambisa Forest.”
The terse statement was accompanied with photographs showing Nigerian Army troops clearing Boko Haram enclaves along axis of advance from Bitta to Tokumbere.
