In continuation of troops’ efforts to defeat Boko Haram terrorists in our country, troops of 5 Brigade Nigerian Army have been making tremendous progress. The formation was able to comprehensively destroy 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 which is ongoing, troops discovered and destroyed over 20 well fortified terrorist camps in the general area of Kerenowa.
The
camps includes some at the gateway to Kerenowa, Gumada and Dogon Gida.
In addition, the troops have also discovered that to evade aerial
reconnaissance and bombardment, the terrorists have dug twin tunnels to
conceal their facilities and routes in and out of the camp. Among
facilities discovered were training areas equipped with instructional
and training materials that include wooden guns, amongst others.
The troops have also cleared Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) along 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
advancing troops’ morale remains very high and they exude confidence
and zeal to destroy all known Boko Haram camps along their axis of
advance.
We
still reiterate our call for citizens to remain confident in the
ability of our troops to eliminate all remaining vestiges of the
terrorists before the year runs out in line with Presidential
directives. Citizens are also requested to kindly provide useful and
credible information to the military about any known terrorist or
sympathisers.
Please disseminate this information to the public through your medium.

Acting Director Army Public Relations
