The Nigerian military has continued in its streaks of success in the war against Boko Haram insurgency in the northeastern states of Nigeria.
The troops at the war front on Tuesday morning successfully completed a raid on all terrorists camps in Alagarno, Borno State, according to Director, Defence Information, Major-General Chris Olukolade, .
Olukolade said a number of weapons and equipment were captured during the operation.
Items captured from the terrorists included armoured vehicles, several arms and ammunition of various sizes and calibres, power generating sets, grenades and Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs), bows, arrows, megaphones and rolls of copper cable which the terrorists used to make IEDs.
He said cordon and search, as well as mop up of the Alagarno, which is the major haven of terrorists ahead of Sambisa forest, was still ongoing to make the environment safe for displaced locals to return.
Olukolade disclosed that aside being one of the strongholds of terrorists in the state, Alagarno also provided routes used by the terrorists to neighbouring towns and countries.
The thick forest in the area had made it a safe haven for the terrorists for a long time, as the terrain was not easily accessible and it was endowed with natural hideouts from aerial bombardments.
