Haram had victory over Boko Haram this weekend when it dislodge Boko Haram from Kerenowa and Chikun Gudu in Borno state Northeast of Nigeria.
See statement below.
In continuation of troops efforts to defeat Boko
Haram terrorists in our country, troops of 5 Brigade Nigerian Army have
been making tremendous progress. The formation was able to
comprehensively destroy all Boko Haram camps and enclaves at the border
towns of Kerenowa and Chikun Gudu as well as their contiguous villages
in Borno State. During the operation which is ongoing, troops discovered
and destroyed over 20 well fortified terrorist camps in the general
area of Kerenowa.
The camps includes some at the gateway to Kerenoa, Gumada and Dogon
Gida. In addition, the troops have also discovered that to evade aerial
reconnaissance and bombardment, the terrorists have dug twin tunnels to
conceal their facilities and routes in and out of the camp. Among
facilities discovered were training areas equipped with instructional
and training materials that include wooden guns, amongst others. The
troops have also cleared Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) along the
road linking Marte, New Marte and Kerenowa.
It is apparent that the Boko Haram terrorists lacked the will to fight
as they are in obvious disarray, abandoning their camps fleeing and
leaving behind vehicles, solar panels used to power devices, food and
other logistics, beddings, various IED making devices, cables and cords.
The advancing troops morale remains very high and they exude confidence
and zeal to destroy all known Boko Haram camps along their axis of
advance.
We still reiterate our call for citizens to remain confident in the
ability of our troops to eliminate all remaining vestiges of the
terrorists before the year runs out in line with Presidential
directives. Citizens are also requested to kindly provide useful and
credible information to the military about any known terrorist or
sympathisers.
