In continuation of efforts to defeat Boko Haram terrorists in our country, troops of 5 Brigade Nigerian Army have been making tremendous progress. The formation has destroyed all Boko Haram camps and enclaves at the border towns of Kerenowa and Chikun Gudu, as well as their contiguous villages in Borno State. During the operation, the troops discovered and destroyed over 20 well-fortified terrorist camps in Kerenowa.
The camps included some at the gateway to Kerenoa, Gumada and Dogon Gida. In addition, the troops also discovered tunnels used by the terrorists to conceal their facilities and routes in and out of the camp, and evade aerial reconnaissance and bombardment. Among facilities discovered were training areas equipped with instruction materials that included wooden guns, amongst others.
The troops also cleared Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) on the road linking Marte, New Marte and Kerenowa.
“It is apparent that the Boko Haram terrorists lacked the will to fight as they are in obvious disarray, abandoning their camps fleeing and leaving behind vehicles, solar panels used to power devices, food and other logistics, beddings, various IED making devices, cables and cords.
The military remains very confident and they exude confidence and zeal to destroy all known Boko Haram camps along their axis of advance,” Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said.
