An unspecified number of Boko Haram fighters have been killed by soldiers fighting for the liberations of Nigerian territories, as 10 additional camps used by terrorists were overrun in the continuing offensive operations against the terrorists in Sambisa Forest, Borno State, North-East Nigeria.

According to Olukolade in a statement issued minutes ago in Abuja,

“Four of the campswere located in a place called Iza within the forest while three others were noted to be recently established by the terrorists before the assault began. One soldier died from one of the land mineencountered in the operation while two others were also wounded.
“The terrorists lost a number of vehicles mounted with Anti-Aircraft Guns as well as armoured vehicles. Some of the terrorists who escaped from the camps also died as they ran into troops ambush in some escape routes from the forest.”
