Remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists have run out of
arms and ammunitions, as the Nigerians military
intensifies attack on Sambiza Forest, an escapee and
military sources have revealed.
This is even as the Director Defence Information, Major
General Chris Olukolade confirmed to newsmen in
Abuja that ground troops with support from airstrikes
have stormed sambisa forest combing terrorists from
their hideouts.
Although, Olukolade did not disclosed whether military
troops have succeeded in killing or destroying terrorists
camps in the ongoing raid which began on Wednesday,
an escapee from Tabe village of Damboa local
government area who narrowly escaped from the area
said “the Boko Haram terrorists have run out of arms
and ammunitions as the military intensify attacks on
Sambiza Forest”.
He said “you can find more than 500 members of the
insurgents with only few of them having rifles and even
when one or two of them have rifles, it is like a stick,
as they have run out of ammunitions, because the
usual supplies they get are not forthcoming.
“I am optimistic that the military will succeed by killing
many of these sect who have been terrorising residents
in the past three years in the shores of Sambisa
forest””. He stated
Another resident of nearby Yamtake village who does
not want his name in print told our correspondent that
“ As a result of the recent aerial bombardment on the
Sambiza forest, many of the sect members including
their commanders have fled into the nearby bushes of
Yamtake, Tabe and Jangoro villages of Damboa local
government area of the state.”
He called on the military authorities to come to their
aid by mopping up the remnant of the insurgents who
fled to these areas before they regroup to unleash
terror on innocent villagers.
He said “the Boko Haram terrorists have only bow and
arrows, matchets, daggers and other local weapons, as
they have run out of arms and ammunitions and were
roaming about in the bushes of the villages along the
fringes of the Sambiza forest”.
Meanwhile, a security source from Bama, one of the
recaptured local government area in Borno said the
Boko Haram has caused a lot of destruction in Bama
town, as corpses were scattered all over the streets,
some were dumped in destroyed buildings and wells.
He said “only few structures still standing, as the
terrorists have virtually destroyed all structures in the
town. Very soon we are also going to the Sambiza
forest for mop up operations, as we have been directed
to clear the Sambiza before the May 29handing over
dateline”. The security source also revealed.
