In a major offensive against members of the Boko Haram sect, Security Forces in the past few days have killed over 200 suspected insurgents, who had taken refuge in the Sambisa Forest, Borno State.
According to sources in security circles, the offensive was carried out by hundreds of operatives drawn from the army and the air force, in close collaboration with the State Security Service (SSS) and the police.
The raid reportedly led to the destruction of many minor and satellite camps as well as enclaves of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
The operation was described as a “major feat” by the military since the commencement of the state of emergency in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States almost 10 month ago.
The combat effectiveness of the Nigerian military was called to question after members of the terrorist sect appeared to have been having a free-reign in their campaign of terror despite the state of emergency in place in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States.
But sources close to the recent operations and villagers said the clampdown on the insurgents was on-going, pointing out that it was however, yielding the desired results.
“Like never before, resources and manpower have been mobilized to volatile areas in Bama, Gwoza and Damboa local governments of Borno State, as well as around Gulani and Gujba local governments in Yobe State”, a security source said.
All the areas mentioned above have routes that lead to the Sambisa Forest, which prior to the beginning of the military onslaught against the sect, was its biggest hideout.
“This is a critical moment of our operation but we are making headway. The Sambisa (forest) is an unpredictable place. The terrorists have occupied it, dug countless tunnels and camps.
“But we have got the architecture of the place, effectively cleared most camps around it and we are tactically routing out the assailants”, the source, who pleaded anonymity, said.

WONDERFUL!!! KUDOS TO MY BROTHERS AM TOTALLY JOYOUS AND GLAD ABOUT D RECENT PERFORMANCES BY U ALL-HMM WHAT A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT. MY SINCERE OR CANDID
ADVICE TO THOSE OF U IN THE MILITARY IS THAT:
(1).NEVER SEE UR GUN AS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON.
(2).THE MUST INTELLIGENT GENERAL IS HE WHO WIN THE WAR OR BATTLE WITH “brain”.
(3).KNOW THAT UR BRAIN CAN DESTROY UR NATION,UR GUN CAN ONLY KILL A PERSON AT TIME. SO ADOPT THE USE OF INTELLIGENCE AND KEEP UR GUN ASIDE. REMEMBER IS WHAT MAKE GENERAL MULAN OF CHINA TO WIN THE BATTLE. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HIM. THANK YOU!!!

Who is d fellow above claiming to manipulate jamb results with a new science of magic? In other words an illiterate carpenter can manipulate his way to higher jamb scores, to gain admission to medical school ,become a surgeon and operate on people including so called mr frank and grandchildren? Now that butcher in d name of surgeon would have been worse than boko haram. Likewise universities and lecturers who behave like mr frank above are worse than terrorists sabotaging d system and d youths.Some people think that d only dangerous weapons on society are armies,artillery pieces,air squadrons. Does it mean their imagination cannot soar beyond a brigadier,s moustache?
Gon in2 sambisa forest nd kill all dem motherfuckers…..
A very big KUDOS to the ever ready gallant men,God is watching over you.
