20 Boko Haram fighters killed in Sambisa raid in Borno

At least 20 Boko Haram fighters were killed in a fierce battle yesterday at the Sambisa forest, the sect’s hideout, after the Federal troops launched both land and aerial attack on their camps, security sources said.
This report was gotten after the military had lifted its temporary grounding of GSM in Borno state.

A security source who has an impeccable pedigree for credible information said that the grounded GSM networks were part of the military stratagem to slow down the communication networks of the sect who are spread in camps in the forest of Sambisa, Mafa, Wulgo and Kirenowa axis of Borno state.

“So far so good, there has been positive progress in the ongoing operation in Sambisa, and we are not pulling out until we are done with them’, said the source whose name cannot be mentioned as he is not permitted to speak to journalists.

 
“After an emergency raid yesterday, at least 20 of the terrorists were gunned down by our troops and several others are still running around the jungle with serious injuries’. The source had disclosed.

Sambisa, a forest that spread over a distance of 300sq km from Damboa down to Gwoza, Bama and the Cameroon border, has been a hideout and training camp of the Boko Haram – one of which was discovered early this year, when a military raid was launched there.

Apart from the afternoon blast of Wednesday that left two persons dead in the Post Office Central area of Maiduguri, the city has so far enjoyed about 48 hours of calm without a sound of gunshot, since the declaration of State of emergency.
