The Director of Defence Information, Chris Olukolade, yesterday stated that the military has arrested some Boko Haram terrorists who are disguising as women in Baga, Borno State.

According to Olukolade, “The cordon and search in Baga has revealed some terrorists disguising as women. The searches are also yielding more discoveries of arms especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.”

Furthermore, those captured in the course of fighting, many terrorists hiding in the town are being arrested and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.

In continuance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves by the military, the Nigerian Air Force has stepped up its air bombardments of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission.

The air strikes have been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets with required precision. Terrorists are now in disarray as they scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their locations in the forest.”
