Following a large scale offensive by Nigerian Army, the last Boko Haram's enclave in the vast Sambisa forest has been captured.
'I was told by the chief of army staff that the camp fell at about 1.35pm on Friday and that the terrorists are on the run and no longer have a place to hide,” President Muhammadu Buhari said in a statement.
Boko Haram has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than 2 million during its seven-year insurgency to create an Islamic state governed by a strict interpretation of sharia law.
In early 2015 the group controlled an area around the size of Belgium, but it has since been pushed out of most of that territory by Nigeria’s army and troops from neighbouring countries.
Congratulations to the Nigerian Army and they have been voted as the Nigerian Bulletin Personality of the Week.
