As part of measures to contain and quell the Boko Haram insurgency, the military has stormed the insurgents
in Sambisa Forest, their notorious hideout, according to reports from the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC).
The director of defence information, Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade, told the agency that the military had been raiding
the forest and other hideouts of the sect since Tuesday night.
According to the agency, the army used it war drones to level some of the Boko Haram camps in the northeast
but it was not clear about the casualties on both sides. The army said that they are still committed to securing
the civilian population at whatever cost.
