Boko Haram Insurgents Flee, Abandon Items – Army
This was made known in a statement by the army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, through PR Nigeria.
The statement reads: “The military offensive against the Boko Haram terrorists is becoming more unbearable on them as they flee their camps abandoning vehicles, flags and foodstuffs at Kotambe Kote and Jere axis.
“In a related development, troops of 101 Battalion along with members of Nigeria Police Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD) team, today successfully detonated two bicycles laden with primed improvised explosive devices at Awaisari village near Alou Dam.”
Earlier this year, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the newly appointed service chiefs to eliminate insurgency in the Northeast.
In a renewed offensive against the terrorists, the troops have carried out numerous successful operations, including the rescue of captives, storming camps, blocking supplies, detonating bombs and arresting Boko Haram’s key figures.
Boko Haram: Army Reopens School In Gwoza
Meanwhile, the military has said that it reopened the mixed primary school in Gwoza, Borno State, for the benefit of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the area on Friday.
Speaking with the Hausa Service of the BBC, the acting director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman Kukasheka said the reopening of the school was to further assist the returnees and other displaced persons with the education of their children.
He said that the reopening of the combined primary school in Gwoza was significant as the eradication of western education was part of the aims of Boko Haram in their murderous campaign of terror.
He added that the military, in conjunction with other security agencies and security stakeholders, had put adequate security measures in place to ensure the safety of the pupils and their teachers.
“Already, classes have commenced and the turnout was quite impressive,” he stated.
