The Nigerian troops are claiming a big victory over Boko
Haram terrorists in”one of the strongest fortresses of the
sect.”
The figures given by the military show that over 700
operational vehicles of the sect were captured while some
members of the sect were arrested.
The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen Chris
Olukolade, who confirmed the capture of the Boko Haram
camp, said that several terrorists who were wounded in the
military raids were arrested and had made useful
confessions.
The Director of Defence Information said in an electronic
mail that some of the wounded terrorists who were captured
near Lake Chad were pleading for mercy and were
cooperating with interrogators from the Multi-National
Joint Task Force.
Olukolade said that some of the insurgents were captured by
troops around Dikwa, Cross Kauwa, Kukawa and
Alargarmo.
He said that the captives revealed during interrogation that
some of the camps were disbanded as the sect could no longer
sustain the operation.
“In their confessions, it was revealed that some of the camps
have been disbanded following the directive of their clerics
who declared that the operation of the sect had come to an
end as the mission could no longer be sustained.
“The captured terrorists, who are giving useful information
as to the locations of their remnant forces, are full of
apologies and pleas for their lives to be spared promising to
cooperate,” the statement reads in part.
Olukolade said that the captured insurgents complained of
starvation and the frequency of bombardments as some of the
major problems which affected them.
The Defence spokesman warned members of the public to
stay away from the area, saying troops were still continuing
with the operation in the three states.
“They confirmed that starvation was a major problem in
addition to ceaseless bombardments on the camp locations
even when they kept relocating. They also confirm that
several members of the group have been wounded and no
treatment was forthcoming. Troops have continued their
assault on other locations across the states covered by the
state of emergency.
It was learnt that the seized vehicles included those that the
insurgents used for attacks and other vehicles they snatched
from people.
Military sources said that the camp was well planned with
boreholes, dispensary and other facilities to aid the
operations of the insurgents.
