Special
Forces in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign have cleared Delwa,
Mustafari, Manga, Wanga and Damboa of terrorists who have been rampaging
in the communities, the Nigerian military has annouced.
The special operation which began early this week
is designed to restore law and order to the area and apprehend all
terrorists who have been operating in the locality. The operation which
has so far lasted 40 hours has dove-tailed into the mop up phase during
which the remnants of insurgents are being cleared from the
communities. The mop up phase will also ascertain the casualties as
additional efforts are also been made to ensure the protection of
innocent civilians during the operation.
Meanwhile, troops are also involved in manoeuvres to apprehend
terrorists who have been attacking Gwoza and surrounding localities
since Tuesday causing the death of many civilians. More details later.
