A concerted push by Nigeria's military and neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger has regained considerable ground in the fight against Boko Haram. The Nigerian army said it has repelled Boko Haram from all but three local government districts in the north-east.

"We have three local governments remaining, Abadam, Kala-Balge and Gwoza, and we are optimistic that with time we will liberate those," Lieutenant-General Tobiah Minimah, the army chief of staff, told reporters.

Waving captured black and white militant flags, soldiers from Niger and Chad celebrated their liberation of the Nigerian town of Damasak from Boko Haram.
The insurgents had seized Damasak with little resistance in November 2014

Boko Haram has been fighting a six-year insurgency to create an Islamic state and had taken control of large parts of Nigeria's north-east in the past year. It became notorious internationally after kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls last April.

At the start of this year, Boko Haram controlled around 20 local government areas, a territory the size of Belgium. In recent months, Nigeria has stepped up its campaign against the militants, and, with the help of a regional force that includes Niger and Chad, has retaken dozens of towns.

Tens of thousands of refugees fleeing Boko Haram have crossed into neighbouring Niger. Among the world's poorest countries, Niger has suffered from recurrent poor harvests, and says it will struggle to feed its people as well as the refugees.

PICS:
1. Soldiers from Niger hold up a Boko Haram flag that they seized in the town of Damasak, Nigeria

2. Chadian soldiers drive in the recently retaken town of Damasak, Nigeria

3. Debris is scattered in front of a building that Boko Haram insurgents used as their base in Dikwa, Nigeria

4. Weapons captured from Boko Haram are seen in the recently retaken town of Damasak

Soon, Boko Haram will be HISTORY.

# buhari in trouble

after how many years of boko haram terrorizing the north its not the missing chibok school girls or the two bombings in abuja or the estimated 2'000 killed in baga or the estimated 30 thousand innocents killed in the north its only the elections (that had to be cancelled) that he's thinking of and wants to win that made our government finally get serious about dealing with this boko haram issue

But, where Shekau? He don die somewhere? Abeg dig his corpse and bring it to Aso Rock

Praise the lord of eluigwe! I am always told people to be patient and believement in Goodluck nwannem. The erasement of Boko haram are just the beginning of the predicaments of APC their father. Come 28th of this month, somebody ga ebe akwa ozo! Ka Chineke mezie okwu

yippy, hurray.

Thank God

Good
God Bless N.A

When you acheive victory, sharpen your sword.

It is too early to celebrate victory lest we we lull ourselves into a false sense of security.

Let our military be resolute and continue the conquest. The time for real celebration is coming soon.

good

Good news... I pray these 3 remaining local gvt get liberated soon.

Good news! That's a big blow against APC's main propaganda to tarnish GEJ's image. Buhari and cohorts must be terribly shivering now. Nemesis meeting up with the mofos . . . they're losing both the battle and the election!

GEJ - 2019!

Victory for goodness

glory be to God.... but i would love to ask why havent we heard any of the "captured" boko haram confess who their sponsors are... or aint the military strong enough to get that info from them and also where is shekau? abii dey sent him out of the country disguised just to cover their tracks just like Clifford Orji's case God is watching and will surely save us in this country
