Boko Haram Crumbles: Soldiers Capture Camp, Seize 700 Cars

                               
The Special Forces involved in the ongoing campaign against the Boko Haram insurgents have recorded what top security sources in the country have described as one the greatest breakthroughs in the campaign against the deadly terrorist group in the North-East of Nigeria.

The soldiers, who went on the operation, were shocked by the volume of arms and ammunition and hundreds of operational vehicles that they captured at the camp.
“In their confessions, it was revealed that some of the camps have been disbanded following the directive of their clerics who declared that the operation of the sect had come to an end as the mission could no longer be sustained.



“The captured terrorists, who are giving useful information as to the locations of their remnant forces, are full of apologies and pleas for their lives to be spared promising to cooperate.”
According to Punch, investigations on Tuesday revealed that the Special Forces, comprising ground troops and the Air Force fighters, had demobilized one of the strongest fortresses of the Boko Haram sect.

A source put the number of vehicles captured from the insurgents at 700 as several members of the sect were arrested.

Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen Chris Olukolade, who confirmed the capture of the Boko Haram camp, said several terrorists were wounded in the military raids and they had made useful confessions.

He said some of the wounded terrorists were captured near Lake Chad and they are pleading for mercy and are cooperating with interrogators from the Multi-National Joint Task Force.

Olukolade said that the captured insurgents complained of starvation and the frequency of bombardments by the JTF as some of the major problems which affected them.

In his words: “They confirmed that starvation was a major problem in addition to ceaseless bombardments on the camp locations even when they kept relocating. They also confirm that several members of the group have been wounded and no treatment was forthcoming. Troops have continued their assault on other locations across the states covered by the state of emergency."

It's only a matter of time, Boko Haram is crumbling as Nigerian soldiers have now been motivated for work.
