Boko Haram Runs Out Of Arms, Ammunition; Says Escapee by simongonner: 10:13am On Apr 23, 2015
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. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/boko-haram-runs-out-of-arms-ammunition-says-escapee/

It's my prayer that the military fulfills its promise of flushing out these guys before May 29.
