Nigerian Military Recapture 29 Towns From Boko Haram Insurgents by Bash92(m): 11:50am On Feb 27, 2015 |
The Federal Government said on Thursday that troops had so far recaptured 29 towns held by Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East in the renewed offensive against them. The Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, announced this while giving an update on troops’ operations in the area at a news conference. Omeri listed the towns and villages recaptured from the insurgents in the last two weeks as: Abba Jabari, Gajigana, Gajiram, Damakar, Kumaliwa, Bosso, Wanti, Jeram and Karisungul. The others are: Mafa, Gamboru-Ngala, Malam- Fatori, Abadam, Marte, Monguno and Baga, all in Borno state. He also listed Gujba and Gulani, in Yobe as towns captured from the terrorists. In Adamawa, Omeri said the troops had retaken 11 towns and settlements earlier held by Boko Haram. They are: Hong, Mubi North and Mubi South, Maiha, Michika, Shuwa, Wuro Gyambi, Gombi, Vimtim, Uba and Bazza. Omeri urged the citizens to show patriotism and appreciate the efforts and sacrifices being made by the military and other security personnel in prosecuting the war against terror. He also urged citizens to “shun the trend of cynicism among some unpatriotic Nigerians” who, he said, ascribed recent success in the anti-terror war to external forces rather than the Nigerian troops. www.today.ng/news/military-has-so-far-recaptured-29-towns-from-boko-haram-fg/ 1 Like |

we appreciate their effort but don't accept it as a sacrifice. they are doing their lawful duty for which they earn their monthly pay. telling me its a sacrifice makes it look like they are freelance fighters and you know that not true. will you also accept it that the construction of lagos-ibadan road or benin -ore road was a sacrifice by the minister for works? their efforts at ensuring that their job is done is well appreciated, thank you. |

Bash92: Wow! That is fantastic news. I hope they can clear out the other towns before the elections so that life can return to normal. It is sad that it took our government this long to launch a full scale offensive against boko haram...but better late than never. 29 towns!!! |
