Soldier Reveals Last Minute Battle That Helped In Capture Of Sambisa Forest by KenJak(m): 8:46am On Dec 28, 2016
- As Nigerians continue to celebrate the capture of Sambisa forest by troops, a soldier has made some revelations

- The soldier reportedly said the troops had a tough time reaching the camp zero where it is believed Shekau lived

A Nigerian soldier, who took part in the capturing of the camp zero in the once-dreaded Sambisa Forest in Borno state, what truly transpired that led to the final defeat of the Boko Haram.
The soldier, who refused to be named, allegedly told Daily Post that the camp was virtually empty when the troops finally got to the camp zero.
The soldier said by forest camp zero was virtually empty by the time they got there
It took several days for the troops to finally declare success.
According to the report, the soldier said they earlier had a tough time battling the terrorists who fired for almost a whole day.
He said while the terrorists fired, the troops had to cease fire and wait for reinforcement for two days.

The report quoted him as saying: “By the time we were ready to make an inroad into the camp, they had already destroyed the camp and fled. We found a wounded terrorist, who strap himself with an IED.
“He was heaping abuses on us, we kept a distance from him knowing he could be dangerous and after abusing us and knowing he had no chances of escape, detonated the IED to end his life.”
While he abused the soldiers and the government, he reportedly said Allah had given them victory over the Nigerian troops.
The soldier said the terrorist said: “My brothers (the fleeing terrorists) are brave warriors of Allah. We will continue to fight you infidels to the last of you.

“We have defeated you and victory is ours, by the will of Allah.”

He noted that the troops could not find traces of the leader of the terrorists, Abubakar Shekau or the remaining Chibok girls.

He reportedly said: “I do not think Shekau is with the Chibok girls. What we believe is that, he (Shekau) is moving along with some of his finest fighters while the Chibok girls are moving along with some of the top commanders of Boko Haram.

“Those ones, we have not come in contact with yet.”

The war has not yet been won, but an inroad has been made, this has shown Tht the army isn't a cowardly army like the time of GEJ and his useless army generals, thieves whose only ambition was to steal billions and buy mansions.................

If this victory is sustained n the northeast and govt addresses the northwest, economy or no economy Buhari will have a landslide victory on his achievements in security and corruption

You be mumu. Buhari's achievement in security is to convert Boko Haram terrorists into Fulani herdsmen abi? His achievement on corruption is to send DSS to harass and intimate his perceived political enemies right? And then the millions of Nigerians that can no longer afford a decent meal a day will vote for him in 2019 right? Idiat!

This shows the effort was futile.
Camp 0 was really camp 0 as the terrorists where long gone to set up camp at other places.

Thank God for this great victory.


Those who shared defense funds thereby frustrating the war on terror will never know peace.



God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The truth is that Boko Haram has been disbanded due to lack of funds
