Nigerian Soldiers
The Nigerian military has revealed that the feared enclave of the
Boko Haram, Sambisa Forest, has been demystified and the insurgent group
still trapped in the hideouts cannot come out to launch attack on the
rest of the nation.
The military made this revelation on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference to highlight the successes of the
Nigerian troops against the Boko Haram insurgents in recent weeks, the
Commander of the counter-insurgency operation in the North-East
(Operation Lafiya Dole), Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor, said the forest is
completely surrounded by the Nigerian troops and there is no escape for
any insurgents still holed up there.
Irabor said it has become impossible for the insurgents still holed
up in the Sambisa Forest to get out or for them to have access to
civilization to get any supply.
He said the soldiers are only waiting for the insurgents holed up
in the forest to surrender as life has become unbearable for them.
He said if they do not come out soon enough, the troops would move further into the forest to level it.
He however assured that there is no escape for any insurgent still
trapped within the forest as the troops have taken positions at all
access routes leading into and out of the forest.
