Troops Recapture Goniri From Boko Haram

The Nigerian military has announced that its troops fighting the Boko Haram insurgents in the nation’s troubled north-east have reclaimed Goniri town in Yobe State, clearing terrorists from the location.

The troops reclaimed the town on Monday morning after clearing the terrorists from the town that it had taken over some months back.

The Defence Headquarters in a tweet on Monday said: “Troops have this morning completed clearing terrorists out of Goniri in Yobe State”.

This recent victory by the Nigerian military is the latest breakthrough recorded in its increased counter terrorism operations against the Boko Haram terrorists since the nation’s general elections were postponed by six weeks.
