Army destroy more of Boko Haram camps, discover tunnels dug by terrorists

Nigerian Army said troops of 5 Brigade Nigerian Army have been able to comprehensively destroy all Boko Haram camps and enclaves at the border towns of Kerenowa and Chikun Gudu as well as their contiguous villages in Borno State.

A statement by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations, during the ongoing operation, troops discovered and destroyed over 20 well fortified terrorist camps in the general area of Kerenowa.

He listed the camps to includesome at the gateway to Kerenowa, Gumada and Dogon Gida.

“In addition, the troops have also discovered that to evade aerial reconnaissance and bombardment, the terrorists have.........
dug twin tunnels to conceal their facilities and routes in and out of the camp. Among facilities discovered were training areas equipped with instructional and training materials that include wooden guns, amongst others,” he said.

“The troops have also cleared Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) along the road linking Marte, New Marte and Kerenowa.

“It is apparent that the Boko Haram terrorists lacked the will to fight as they are in obvious disarray, abandoning their camps fleeing and leaving behind vehicles, solar panels used to power devices, food and other logistics, beddings, various IED making devices, cables and cords.
