In
the words of the Nigerian military, the Boko Haram sect has been
cleared from Yobe State, Nigeria’s north east region, after the military
troops reclaimed the town of Goniri.
Speaking on his
twitter handle, the Director of Defence Information, Major-General Chris
Olukolade, said that Goniri was the last stronghold of terrorists in
Yobe State.
Olukolade wrote in a tweet, “Adamawa is free, Yobe is free, Borno is soon to be freed by our able military.”
The
military added that with the apparent liberation of Yobe State, only a
handful of towns and villages in Borno State were still under the
control of Boko Haram.
This development is coming on the same
day that troops of the Nigerian military recaptured Bama, the commercial
centre of Borno State.
