According to channelstv.com, 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.
