Boko Haram terrorists fleeing Sambisa forest in droves – Army

The Nigerian Army has said that due to aerial bombardment and concerted efforts of the ground troops, and facing imminent annihilation, Boko Haram terrorists had been deserting Sambisa forest in droves trying to disperse to various parts of the country.

In a release issued by Col. Usman Sani, Acting Director of Army Public Relations, it said that the cowards were running away from their enclave in Sambisa forest. Consequently, it said that it had become necessary to inform the public, especially well-meaning Nigerians, to be more vigilant and security conscious.

“The public is requested to be observant and report any suspicious persons or group of persons to the military or any of the security agencies to enable timely detection and apprehension of the fleeing insurgents before they mingle with the society and commit havoc.

“We would like to reassure the public of the confidentiality of the information provided and reiterate our commitment to the clearance of the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists,” the military said.
