Boko Haram: Nigerian troops reclaim Gudumbari
Displaced people celebrated in Borno state as troops of the Nigerian
military under the Armed Forces Special Force (AFSF) cleared all trace
of Boko Haram occupation from Gudumbari, the headquarters of Guzamala
local government area of Borno state.
Gudumbari is one of the
remote local government areas in northern Borno state that was sacked
and occupied by Boko Haram fighters.
It was once reclaimed in the past, but the insurgents crept back and reoccupy the area after the troops had moved.
But
with the Tuesday take over of Gudumbari after a victorious operation by
the Nigerian AFSF troops, the news sent wave of jubilation from
displaced residents of the area who were all in IDP camps in Maiduguri.
Spokesman of the Nigeria Army, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, confirmed the development in a press statement.
”It was in continuation of the clearance of the remnants of recalcitrant members of Boko Haram terrorists in the various nooks and corners of the north east, the Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF) carried out successful clearance of Boko Haram terrorists hiding in Gudumbali general area”, Colonel
Usman, who is Acting Director Army Public Relations, said.
