Soon, soon!how soon.
The Nigerian Army has assured that the military
will soon re-capture Adamawa and Borno States
after it renewed pressure on terrorists in the two
north eastern states.
Military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade,
told Channels Television that “there is a more
intensive shelling of areas where the terrorists are
hiding.
He said air raids are already being carried out by
officers and men of the Air Force and Nigerian
Army ground operations is yielding results.
According to him, the focus now is on deployment
of troops and necessary equipment to reverse all
recent violation and breach of security by
terrorists and others operating in parts of the
country.
Suspected militants believed to be members of
the radical sect, Boko Haram, on Wednesday
launched a coordinated attack on Uba and Mubi
towns of Adamawa State , north-east Nigeria.
Both towns are located at the northern part of the
state bordering Michika and Madagali earlier
under siege by the Islamists, the Boko Haram.
Residents said gunshots are currently being heard
in both towns as there have been fierce battles
earlier in the day. Security troops have made
several attempts to repel attacks on the two
towns.
Last month, the government announces a
ceasefire deal with Boko Haram, but that
agreement is being breached by the militants.
