According to military spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, the Nigerian Army has destroyed 10 more Boko Haram camps as part of its Sambisa Forest operation.
Major General Olukolade, the Director for Defence Information, made the disclosure on Sunday, May 17, 2015 via a statement.
He also said that Nigerian troops killed many terrorists during the operation.
The statement reads:
“An unconfirmed number of terrorists died on Saturday as 10 additional camps, used by terrorists, were overrun in the continuing offensive operations against the terrorists in Sambisa Forest.”
“The Dure camp, which is one of the most prominent camps in the forest, witnessed the fiercest battle as the Special Forces descended heavily on it before it finally fell.”
“Four of the camps were located in a place called Iza, within the forest, while three others were noted to be recently established by the terrorists before the assault began.”
“One soldier died from one of the land mines encountered in the operation while two others were also wounded.”
Olukolade also said that soldiers deployed in the operation captured several vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft guns and armoured vehicles from the insurgents.
