Gallant Nigerian troops are gradually clearing all known camps, enclaves and dens of Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East, the Nigerian Army announced late last night.

“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,” Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said.

He added in a statement: “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.”
