Civilian Joint Task Force Jubilate After A 3-Day Operation In Borno

    Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has appeared in a new video to debunk Nigeria’s government claims that the group has been crushed and flushed out of its Sambisa forest stronghold.

    Boko Haram fighters, fleeing an attack on their base last week might have used some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped on April 14, 2014, as human shields to prevent being fired upon by fighter jets during the attack on Sambisa Forest.

The so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadist group has
announced a new leader for its West African branch,
popularly known as Boko Haram.

Following reliable information about movement of
remnants of suspected Boko Haram terrorists,
troops of 118 Task Force Battalion, 7 Brigade, laid
an ambush for the terrorists today morning.

Troops of 119 Task Force Battalion stationed in
Kangarwa northern Borno State, have successfully
repelled an attack by Boko Haram terrorists
Tuesday evening.

Celebrity photographer, TY Bello, who just returned
from Borno state, shared this photo of an xray
showing an anti aircraft bullet lodged in a soldiers
throat. She wrote:

The presidency could not be reached to confirm
the arrest of a Body Guard to President
Mohammadu Buhari Coporal Hassan Aminu who
is alleged to have a link with Boko Haram sect.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has increased the
tempo of air strikes in the northeast against the
Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in an operation
codenamed Operation Gama Aiki . The new phase
of offensive by the NAF is an integral part of the
ongoing counterinsurgency operation and a follow-
up to Operation Crackdown launched some months
ago with the sole objective of taking over the
Sambisa Forest and other BHT strongholds.

Niger’s defence minister, Hassoumi Messaoudou,
told Radio France International on Friday that
regional leaders needed to “rethink Boko Haram”
and called on regional forces to defeat the group in
Nigeria.

The BBC Africa just twitted this in their official
handle some minutes ago!

last week by Boko Haram on the Nigeria-Cameroon
