Again, the Nigerian Armed Forces has registered another victory against Boko Haram terrorist sect.
In a statement signed by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Nigerian army announced the clearance of several Boko Haram hideouts in some villages as well as the rescue of 63 individuals that were kidnapped by the extremist sect.
Late last year, the Federal Government had announced that Boko Haram was ‘technically’ defeated.
This was met with disbelief on the part of Nigerians because the sect had brutally killed several persons in Borno state days after the announcement.
However, in furtherance of their war propaganda, the Nigerian Army has released several statements and pictures of their activities in the region, where the headquarters of the army was temporary relocated.
The latest statement reads that: “Today, Army Headquarters Special Forces Team B, 7 Division Garrison, conducted fighting patrol in which they cleared Boko Haram terrorists hideout at Lawin Meleri, Matiri Bulaka and Aljeri villages.”
“During the operation, they killed 5 Boko Haram terrorists and also rescued 63 persons held captives by the terrorists. The troops recovered 1 Dane gun and 1 Light Machine Gun Bipod Stand and detonated 1 Improvised Explosive Device enroute.”
