Security forces have killed scores of Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgents in Sambisa forest, Borno State, North-East Nigeria, whilst also destroying the terrorists’ enclaves.
The successful operation was conducted by troops of Operation Desert Sanity of the Nigerian Army.
The development came as a result of the State’s continued offensives against insurgents, primarily in the Sambisa forest.
This was revealed by the Nigerian Army Headquarters in a post on its verified Facebook page on Friday morning.
Several pieces of equipment and deadly weapons were recovered during the successful operation, according to the report.
The post reads, “Ongoing offensive clearance operations records another feat as troops of Operation Desert Sanity destroyed ISWAP/BokoHaram enclaves around Ukuba & Camp Zairo in Sambisa forest, Borno State.
“Several terrorists were neutralized as troops recovered equipment and weapons”.
Recall, on March 20, News Central reported that Nigerian troops neutralised a notorious ISWAP Commander Sani Shuwaram, and other terrorists.
